# Hosted Wallet API
Discussion for the current status of the hosted wallet (mymonero/openmonero)
API.
## Encoding Schemes
### JSON
JSON is the original and required encoding scheme used for the API. Binary
values (public keys, hashes, etc) are sent as an ascii-hex string. Some
integers, that may exceed 2^53, are sent as strings. This is to due to the
limitation within Javascript where all integers are double floating point
values.
## Transport Layers
### HTTP-REST
When calling an API method, the client must use HTTP POST to a path with the
method name. As an example, to invoke the `get_address_txs` method, the client
sends a POST message to `/get_address_txs` where the body contains the JSON
request object associated with that method name. If the requested method does
not exist, a HTTP 404 "Not Found" error must be returned. If the request type
is not POST, the server shall return a HTTP 405 "Method Not Allowed" error. If
the server is unable to complete a request temporarily due to load, then the
server shall return a HTTP 503 "Service Unavailable" error to indicate to the
client that the request may be serviceable later.
Servers must support the JSON encoding scheme. The client must send the HTTP
field `Content-Type: application/json`; if the server is not provided that
content type from the client then the server shall respond with a HTTP 415
"Unsupported Media Type" error.
This transport layer does not use HTTP authentication, and instead uses the
`view_key` field for authorization. Documentation for a specific method will
indicate whether `view_key` is required. When it is not necessary, anyone can
invoke the method.
## Schema
The ascii name of the field is used as a key in JSON encoding. If a field has
a `*` indicator, that means the field is optional. If `*` is used next to the
type, the value can be "null" or a value valid according to the type.
### Types
**binary**
A hex-ascii string in JSON. This is generally some irreducible cryptographic
concept - a public key or hash.
**base58-address**
A standard Monero public address encoded as a string in JSON.
**output** object

> frequently with outgoing payment ids; the received XMR in the transaction is
> change and the payment id is for the real recipient.
> `mixin` does not include the real spend - this is the number of dummy inputs.

### Methods
#### `get_address_info`
Returns the minimal set of information needed to calculate a wallet balance.
The server cannot calculate when a spend occurs without the spend key, so a
list of candidate spends is returned.
**Request** object
| Field | Type | Description |
|-----------|----------------|---------------------------------------|
| address | base58-address | Address to retrieve |
| view_key | binary | View key bytes for authorization |
> If `address` is not authorized, the server must return a HTTP 405
> "Forbidden" error.
**Response** object
| Field | Type | Description |
|----------------------|------------------|---------------------------|
| locked_funds | uint64-string | Sum of unspendable XMR |
| total_received | uint64-string | Sum of received XMR |
| total_sent | uint64 | Sum of possibly spent XMR |
| scanned_height | uint64 | Current tx scan progress |
| scanned_block_height | uint64 | Current scan progress |
| start_height | uint64 | Start height of response |
| transaction_height | uint64 | Total txes sent in Monero |
| blockchain_height | uint64 | Current blockchain height |
| spent_outputs | array of spend's | Possible spend info |
| rates * | rates | Current exchange rates |
> `rates` is omitted if unavailable.
#### `get_address_txs`
Returns information needed to show transaction history. The server cannot
calculate when a spend occurs without the spend key, so a list of candidate
spends is returned.
**Request** object
| Field | Type | Description |
|----------|----------------|---------------------------------------|
| address | base58-address | Address to retrieve |
| view_key | binary | View key bytes for authorization |
> If `address` is not authorized, the server must return a HTTP 405
> "Forbidden" error.
**Response** object
| Field | Type | Description |
|----------------------|------------------------|---------------------------|
| total_received | uint64-string | Sum of received outputs |
| scanned_height | uint64 | Current tx scan progress |
| scanned_block_height | uint64 | Current scan progress |
| start_height | uint64 | Start height of response |
| blockchain_height | uint64 | Current blockchain height |
| transactions | array of transaction's | Possible spend info |
#### `get_random_outs`
Selects random outputs to use in a ring signature of a new transaction. If the
`amount` is `0` then the `monerod` RPC `get_output_distribution` should be used
to locally select outputs using a gamma distribution as described in "An
Empirical Analysis of Traceability in the Monero Blockchain". If the `amount`
is not `0`, then the `monerod` RPC `get_output_histogram` should be used to
locally select outputs using a triangular distribution
(`uint64_t dummy_out = histogram.total * sqrt(float64(random_uint53) / float64(2^53))`).
**Request** object
| Field | Type | Description |
|------------|---------------------------|----------------------------------|
| count | uint32 | Mixin (name is historical) |
| amounts | array of uint64-strings's | XMR amounts that need mixing |
> Clients must use amount `0` when computing a ringct output.
> If clients are creating multiple rings with the same amount, they must set
> `count` to the mixin level and add the value to `amounts` multiple times.
> Server must respond to each value in `amounts`, even if the value appears
> multiple times.gi
**Response** object
| Field | Type | Description |
|-------------|--------------------------|----------------------------------|
| amount_outs | array of random_outputs' | Dummy outputs for each `amounts` |
> If there are not enough outputs to mix for a specific amount, the server
> shall omit the `outputs` field in `amount_outs`.
#### `get_unspent_outs`
Returns a list of received outputs. The client must determine when the output
was actually spent.

> error must be returned.
> If approval process is manual, a successful HTTP 200 OK and response object
