Wallet API Reference
The wallet server exposes a JSON-RPC API over Websocket by default at the URL 127.0.0.1:11212. It can be set in the Witnet configuration file as follows:
[wallet]

create_data_request
The method create_data_request creates a data request transaction object. It contains all required cryptographic information in order to be later sent to a Witnet node (e.g. by using the method send_transaction).
Request with parameters:
session_id: number, generated identifier obtained from unlocking the wallet. See Unlock Wallet.wallet_id: String, the ID associated to the wallet. See get_wallet_infos.fee: number, amount in nanoWitswill be earned by the miner that publishes the request.fee_type: (optional) String, fee type chosen betweenweightedorabsolute. Defaults toweightedif not inserted.request: DataRequestOutput, a struct with required data request fields.data_request: RADRequest, data request with CBOR codification.witness_reward: number, reward in nanoWits to the witnesses of the data request.witnesses: number, minimum number of witnet nodes that must perform the request.commit_and_reveal_fee: number, amount in nanoWits that will be earned by the miner for each each valid commitment and reveal transaction.min_consensus_percentage: number, , minimum of consensus required to consider the request as valid.collateral: number, collateral amount in nanoWits.
More information about the parameters can be found in the tutorial of data request parameters fine-tuning.
As an example, this data request created a data request that retrives the last Bitcoin blockhash from two different sources using three witnesses:
