'call' API Method

BWS Solutions use a single API endpoint to call BWS Solutions: https://api.bws.ninja/v1/call

INFO

CODE EXAMPLE

The following javascript code shows how to use BWS.Blockchain.Save to write "Hello World!" to the mumbai blockchain network using the save operation.

javascript
const response = await fetch("https://api.bws.ninja/v1/call", {
  method: "post",
  body: JSON.stringify({
    solution: "BWS.Blockchain.Save",
    version: 1,
    network: "mumbai",
    operation: "save",
    parameters: {
      value: "Hello World!",
    },
  }),
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "X-Api-Key": "your api key",
  },
});
const result = await response.json();

if (result.statusCode != 200) throw new Error(result.statusMessage);

return result;

Whenever you execute a call to run a BWS solution, please note the following:

  • You will get a 200 status code if your call is correctly received.
