Installation
ES Modules
First, install the npm module.
# npm
$ npm install @mempool/mempool-js --save
# yarn
$ yarn add @mempool/mempool-js
Or if you're not into package management, just download a ZIP file.
Then import the module.
import mempoolJS from '@mempool/mempool-js';
const {
addresses,
blocks,
fees,
mempool,
transactions,
websocket,
} = mempoolJS();
Custom Endpoints (Optional)
You can set your custom API and WS endpoints.
import mempoolJS from '@mempool/mempool-js';
const { address } = mempoolJS({
apiEndpoint: 'https://mempool.space/api/',
websocketEndpoint: 'wss://mempool.space/api/v1/ws',
});
CommonJS
We provide you our own link to mempool-js:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://mempool.space/mempool.js"></script>
If you want to run your own build, run the script:
# npm
$ npm run build
# yarn
$ yarn build
And, include the script located on the dist folder.
<script type="text/javascript" src="./dist/mempool.min.js"></script>
Now, you have an access to a variable function to access the API methods.
const {
addresses,
blocks,
fees,
mempool,
transactions,
websocket,
} = mempoolJS();
