GNY Blockchain

# Exchange API

The following API are exclusively for Exchanges. These APIs are not reachable on default - they need to be enabled first. The Exchange APIs work with plain text secrets. This is normally not recommended for node operators, because a malicious Blockchain nodes could log users secrets and steal all assets.

# Enable Exchange Endpoints

IMPORTANT

To enable the Exchange APIs start the GNY Blockchain with the environment variable EXCHANGE_API=true

Adapt your docker-compose.yml file and pass the environment variable to the GNY Blockchain:

version: "3.3"
services:
  # db1 service omitted
  node1:
    # other keys ommitted
    environment:
      - EXCHANGE_API=true # this activates the /api/exchange endpoints
