VerusVerifyAPI

Simple API to verify messages, files, or filehashes with Verus. WIP.

Dependencies

0. Python 3
1. requests
2. Flask
3. Flask-API
4. flask_sslify
5. ast

Setup

All configuration is handled in the rpc_api.conf file. There are two sections for configuring both the RPC information and the specifications for the API. The configuration options are as follows:

RPC Configuration

1. rpchost Specifies the hostname for the RPC server
2. rpcconf Specifies the configuration information for the RPC server, namely the port, username and password. This can either be given as the path to a configuration file, like VRSC.conf, or as a dictionary formatted like so:

confdict = { "rpcuser" : "$rpcuser", "rpcpassword" : "$rpcpassword", "rpcport" : $port }

API Configuration

1. apiport specifies the port you want the API to run on, defaults to 5000.
2. apihost Specifies the host for the API, defaults to localhost. Set to 0.0.0.0 to be accessible from a network without a proxy/server.
3. SSL Toggles native ssl via yes|no, if yes, then you need to also specify the key and sertificates
4. SSL_KEY and SSL_CRT specify the path/name for the SSL key and certificate respectively.

Running the API

After setup, just run ./verusverifyapi.py

Basic Usage

http://localhost:5000/verifymessage/?message=This%20is%20a%20test%20message&signer=jbsci@&signature=Af+4EQABQSA1qs5h3yc553W8ulMVU+cVhJgXnkXHeZyEvP7oX9Iiizq3LIY1kWCyrWromhRv7CO1mdViKffFd6jGku0SiCSM

Input/Output

In: /verifymessage/?message=<message>&signer=<signer>&signature=<signature>
out: { valid : true|false }

In: /verifyhash/?hash=<filehash>&signer=<signer>&signature=<signature>
out: { valid : true|false }

In: /getid/?id=<identity>
out: Identity information

Notes:

1. Messsages need to be properly URL encoded before being passed to API.
