Hub is a wallet management system for cryptocurrency exchanges and custodians. Through its application programming interfaces (APIs), Hub offers you an easy way to integrate IOTA into your application by allowing you to do the following:
- Create user accounts
- Manage users' IOTA tokens
- Keep a record of users' addresses
- Keep a record of users' transactions
This is beta software, so there may be performance and stability issues. Please report any issues in our issue tracker.
To install Hub, you need one of the following:
- Docker
- A Linux operating system
For installation instructions, see the documentation portal.
Depending on how you configured Hub, you can use either its gRPC or REST API to start creating new users. For a guide on using the gRPC API, see the documentation portal.
To create a new user, do the following:
curl http://localhost:50051 \
-X POST \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'X-IOTA-API-Version: 1' \
-d '{
"command": "CreateUser",
"userId": "Jake"
}'
To generate a new deposit address for the user, do the following:
curl http://localhost:50051 \
-X POST \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'X-IOTA-API-Version: 1' \
-d '{
"command": "GetDepositAddress",
"userId": "Jake",
"includeChecksum": "true"
}'
In the output, you should see a 90-tryte deposit address:
"address": "RDZVDZKRBX9T9L9XXONXDVJDRKYPAABWMQLORGCDCWHDDTSOPRZPCQB9AIZZWZAQ9NBZNVUUUSPQHRGWDYZUVP9WSC"
Note: In the database, addresses are always saved without the checksum.
For details on all available API methods, see the documentation portal.
