Updated for version 0.17.6

Introduction

RippleAPI is the official client library to the Ripple Consensus Ledger. Currently, RippleAPI is only available in JavaScript. Using RippleAPI, you can:

RippleAPI only provides access to validated, immutable transaction data.

Boilerplate

Use the following boilerplate code to wrap your custom code using RippleAPI.

const {RippleAPI} = require('ripple-lib');

const api = new RippleAPI({
  server: 'wss://s1.ripple.com' // Public rippled server hosted by Ripple, Inc.
});
api.on('error', (errorCode, errorMessage) => {
  console.log(errorCode + ': ' + errorMessage);
});
api.on('connected', () => {
  console.log('connected');
});
api.on('disconnected', (code) => {
  // code - [close code](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CloseEvent) sent by the server
  // will be 1000 if this was normal closure
  console.log('disconnected, code:', code);
});
api.connect().then(() => {
  /* insert code here */
}).then(() => {
  return api.disconnect();
}).catch(console.error);

RippleAPI is designed to work in NodeJS (version 0.12.0 or greater) using Babel for ECMAScript 6 support.

The code samples in this documentation are written in ES6, but RippleAPI will work with ES5 also. Regardless of whether you use ES5 or ES6, the methods that return promises will return ES6-style promises.

Parameters

The RippleAPI constructor optionally takes one argument, an object with the following options:

Name Type Description
authorization string Optional Username and password for HTTP basic authentication to the rippled server in the format username:password.
certificate string Optional A string containing the certificate key of the client in PEM format. (Can be an array of certificates).
feeCushion number Optional Factor to multiply estimated fee by to provide a cushion in case the required fee rises during submission of a transaction. Defaults to 1.2.
key string Optional A string containing the private key of the client in PEM format. (Can be an array of keys).
passphrase string Optional The passphrase for the private key of the client.
proxy uri string Optional URI for HTTP/HTTPS proxy to use to connect to the rippled server.
proxyAuthorization string Optional Username and password for HTTP basic authentication to the proxy in the format username:password.
server uri string Optional URI for rippled websocket port to connect to. Must start with wss:// or ws://.
timeout integer Optional Timeout in milliseconds before considering a request to have failed.
trace boolean Optional If true, log rippled requests and responses to stdout.
trustedCertificates array\<string> Optional Array of PEM-formatted SSL certificates to trust when connecting to a proxy. This is useful if you want to use a self-signed certificate on the proxy server. Note: Each element must contain a single certificate; concatenated certificates are not valid.

If you omit the server parameter, RippleAPI operates offline.

Installation

  1. Install NodeJS and the Node Package Manager (npm). Most Linux distros have a package for NodeJS, but make sure you have version 0.12.0 or higher.
  2. Use npm to install Babel globally: npm install -g babel-cli
  3. Use npm to install RippleAPI: npm install ripple-lib

After you have installed ripple-lib, you can create scripts using the boilerplate and run them using babel-node: babel-node script.js

Offline functionality

RippleAPI can also function without internet connectivity. This can be useful in order to generate secrets and sign transactions from a secure, isolated machine.

To instantiate RippleAPI in offline mode, use the following boilerplate code:

const {RippleAPI} = require('ripple-lib');

const api = new RippleAPI();
/* insert code here */

Methods that depend on the state of the Ripple Consensus Ledger are unavailable in offline mode. To prepare transactions offline, you must specify the fee, sequence, and maxLedgerVersion parameters in the transaction instructions. The following methods should work offline:

Basic Types

Ripple Address

"r9cZA1mLK5R5Am25ArfXFmqgNwjZgnfk59"

Every Ripple account has an address, which is a base58-encoding of a hash of the account's public key. Ripple addresses always start with the lowercase letter r.

Account Sequence Number

Every Ripple account has a sequence number that is used to keep transactions in order. Every transaction must have a sequence number. A transaction can only be executed if it has the next sequence number in order, of the account sending it. This prevents one transaction from executing twice and transactions executing out of order. The sequence number starts at 1 and increments for each transaction that the account makes.

Currency

Currencies are represented as either 3-character currency codes or 40-character uppercase hexadecimal strings. We recommend using uppercase ISO 4217 Currency Codes only. The string "XRP" is disallowed on trustlines because it is reserved for the Ripple native currency. The following characters are permitted: all uppercase and lowercase letters, digits, as well as the symbols ?, !, @, #, $, %, ^, &, *, <, >, (, ), {, }, [, ], and |.

Value

A value is a quantity of a currency represented as a decimal string. Be careful: JavaScript's native number format does not have sufficient precision to represent all values. XRP has different precision from other currencies.

XRP has 6 significant digits past the decimal point. In other words, XRP cannot be divided into positive values smaller than 0.000001 (1e-6). XRP has a maximum value of 100000000000 (1e11).

Non-XRP values have 16 decimal digits of precision, with a maximum value of 9999999999999999e80. The smallest positive non-XRP value is 1e-81.

Amount

Example amount:

{
  "currency": "USD",
  "counterparty": "rMH4UxPrbuMa1spCBR98hLLyNJp4d8p4tM",
  "value": "100"
}

Example XRP amount:

{
  "currency": "XRP",
  "value": "2000"
}

An amount is data structure representing a currency, a quantity of that currency, and the counterparty on the trustline that holds the value. For XRP, there is no counterparty.

A lax amount allows the counterparty to be omitted for all currencies. If the counterparty is not specified in an amount within a transaction specification, then any counterparty may be used for that amount.

A lax lax amount allows either or both the counterparty and value to be omitted.

A balance is an amount than can have a negative value.

Name Type Description
currency currency The three-character code or hexadecimal string used to denote currencies
counterparty address Optional The Ripple address of the account that owes or is owed the funds (omitted if currency is "XRP")
value value Optional The quantity of the currency, denoted as a string to retain floating point precision

Transaction Overview

Transaction Types

A transaction type is specified by the strings in the first column in the table below.

Type Description
payment A payment transaction represents a transfer of value from one account to another. Depending on the path taken, additional exchanges of value may occur atomically to facilitate the payment.
order An order transaction creates a limit order. It defines an intent to exchange currencies, and creates an order in the Ripple Consensus Ledger's order book if not completely fulfilled when placed. Orders can be partially fulfilled.
orderCancellation An orderCancellation transaction cancels an order in the Ripple Consensus Ledger's order book.
trustline A trustline transactions creates or modifies a trust line between two accounts.
settings A settings transaction modifies the settings of an account in the Ripple Consensus Ledger.
escrowCreation An escrowCreation transaction creates an escrow on the ledger, which locks XRP until a cryptographic condition is met or it expires. It is like an escrow service where the Ripple network acts as the escrow agent.
escrowCancellation An escrowCancellation transaction unlocks the funds in an escrow and sends them back to the creator of the escrow, but it will only work after the escrow expires.
escrowExecution An escrowExecution transaction unlocks the funds in an escrow and sends them to the destination of the escrow, but it will only work if the cryptographic condition is provided.

The three "escrow" transaction types are not supported by the production Ripple peer-to-peer network at this time. They are available for testing purposes if you configure RippleAPI to connect to the Ripple Test Net instead.

Transaction Flow

Executing a transaction with RippleAPI requires the following four steps:

  1. Prepare - Create an unsigned transaction based on a specification and instructions. There is a method to prepare each type of transaction:
  2. Sign - Cryptographically sign the transaction locally and save the transaction ID. Signing is how the owner of an account authorizes a transaction to take place. For multisignature transactions, the signedTransaction fields returned by sign must be collected and passed to the combine method.
  3. Submit - Submit the transaction to the connected server.
  4. Verify - Verify that the transaction got validated by querying with getTransaction. This is necessary because transactions may fail even if they were successfully submitted.

Transaction Fees

Every transaction must destroy a small amount of XRP as a cost to send the transaction. This is also called a transaction fee. The transaction cost is designed to increase along with the load on the Ripple network, making it very expensive to deliberately or inadvertently overload the network.

You can choose the size of the fee you want to pay or let a default be used. You can get an estimate of the fee required to be included in the next ledger closing with the getFee method.

Transaction Instructions

Transaction instructions indicate how to execute a transaction, complementary with the transaction specification.

Name Type Description
fee value Optional An exact fee to pay for the transaction. See Transaction Fees for more information.
maxFee value Optional The maximum fee to pay for the transaction. See Transaction Fees for more information.
maxLedgerVersion integer,null Optional The highest ledger version that the transaction can be included in. If this option and maxLedgerVersionOffset are both omitted, the maxLedgerVersion option will default to 3 greater than the current validated ledger version (equivalent to maxLedgerVersionOffset=3). Use null to not set a maximum ledger version.
maxLedgerVersionOffset integer Optional Offset from current validated legder version to highest ledger version that the transaction can be included in.
sequence sequence Optional The initiating account's sequence number for this transaction.
signersCount integer Optional Number of signers that will be signing this transaction.

We recommended that you specify a maxLedgerVersion so that you can quickly determine that a failed transaction will never succeeed in the future. It is impossible for a transaction to succeed after the network ledger version exceeds the transaction's maxLedgerVersion. If you omit maxLedgerVersion, the "prepare" method automatically supplies a maxLedgerVersion equal to the current ledger plus 3, which it includes in the return value from the "prepare" method.

Transaction ID

"F4AB442A6D4CBB935D66E1DA7309A5FC71C7143ED4049053EC14E3875B0CF9BF"

A transaction ID is a 64-bit hexadecimal string that uniquely identifies the transaction. The transaction ID is derived from the transaction instruction and specifications, using a strong hash function.

You can look up a transaction by ID using the getTransaction method.

Transaction Memos

Every transaction can optionally have an array of memos for user applications. The memos field in each transaction specification is an array of objects with the following structure:

Name Type Description
data string Optional Arbitrary string, conventionally containing the content of the memo.
format string Optional Conventionally containing information on how the memo is encoded, for example as a MIME type. Only characters allowed in URLs are permitted.
type string Optional Conventionally, a unique relation (according to RFC 5988) that defines the format of this memo. Only characters allowed in URLs are permitted.

Transaction Specifications

A transaction specification specifies what a transaction should do. Each Transaction Type has its own type of specification.

Payment

See Transaction Types for a description.

Name Type Description
source object The source of the funds to be sent.
source. address address The address to send from.
source. amount laxAmount An exact amount to send. If the counterparty is not specified, amounts with any counterparty may be used. (This field is exclusive with source.maxAmount)
source. tag integer Optional An arbitrary unsigned 32-bit integer that identifies a reason for payment or a non-Ripple account.
source. maxAmount laxAmount The maximum amount to send. (This field is exclusive with source.amount)

destination. amount laxAmount An exact amount to deliver to the recipient. If the counterparty is not specified, amounts with any counterparty may be used. (This field is exclusive with destination.minAmount).
destination. tag integer Optional An arbitrary unsigned 32-bit integer that identifies a reason for payment or a non-Ripple account.
destination. address address The address to send to.
destination. minAmount laxAmount The minimum amount to be delivered. (This field is exclusive with destination.amount)
allowPartialPayment boolean Optional A boolean that, if set to true, indicates that this payment should go through even if the whole amount cannot be delivered because of a lack of liquidity or funds in the source account account
invoiceID string Optional A 256-bit hash that can be used to identify a particular payment.
limitQuality boolean Optional Only take paths where all the conversions have an input:output ratio that is equal or better than the ratio of destination.amount:source.maxAmount.
memos memos Optional Array of memos to attach to the transaction.
noDirectRipple boolean Optional A boolean that can be set to true if paths are specified and the sender would like the Ripple Network to disregard any direct paths from the source account to the destination account. This may be used to take advantage of an arbitrage opportunity or by gateways wishing to issue balances from a hot wallet to a user who has mistakenly set a trustline directly to the hot wallet
paths string Optional The paths of trustlines and orders to use in executing the payment.

outcome. result string Result code returned by rippled. See Transaction Results for a complete list.
outcome. fee value The XRP fee that was charged for the transaction.
outcome.balanceChanges. * array\<balance> Key is the ripple address; value is an array of signed amounts representing changes of balances for that address.
outcome.orderbookChanges. * array Key is the maker's ripple address; value is an array of changes
outcome.orderbookChanges. *[] object A change to an order.
outcome.orderbookChanges.*[]. direction string Equal to "buy" for buy orders and "sell" for sell orders.
outcome.orderbookChanges.*[]. quantity amount The amount to be bought or sold by the maker.
outcome.orderbookChanges.*[]. totalPrice amount The total amount to be paid or received by the taker.
outcome.orderbookChanges.*[]. sequence sequence The order sequence number, used to identify the order for cancellation
outcome.orderbookChanges.*[]. status string The status of the order. One of "created", "filled", "partially-filled", "cancelled".
outcome.orderbookChanges.*[]. expirationTime date-time string Optional The time after which the order expires, if any.
outcome.orderbookChanges.*[]. makerExchangeRate value Optional The exchange rate between the quantity currency and the totalPrice currency from the point of view of the maker.
outcome. ledgerVersion integer The ledger version that the transaction was validated in.
outcome. indexInLedger integer The ordering index of the transaction in the ledger.
outcome. deliveredAmount amount Optional For payment transactions, it is impossible to reliably compute the actual delivered amount from the balanceChanges due to fixed precision. If the payment is not a partial payment and the transaction succeeded, the deliveredAmount should always be considered to be the amount specified in the transaction.
outcome. timestamp date-time string Optional The timestamp when the transaction was validated. (May be missing when requesting transactions in binary mode.)

}

getLedger

getLedger(options: Object): Promise<Object>

Returns header information for the specified ledger (or the most recent validated ledger if no ledger is specified). Optionally, all the transactions that were validated in the ledger or the account state information can be returned with the ledger header.

Parameters

Name Type Description
options object Optional Options affecting what ledger and how much data to return.
options. includeAllData boolean Optional Include full transactions and/or state information if includeTransactions and/or includeState is set.
options. includeState boolean Optional Return an array of hashes for all state data or an array of all state data in this ledger version, depending on whether includeAllData is set.
options. includeTransactions boolean Optional Return an array of hashes for each transaction or an array of all transactions that were validated in this ledger version, depending on whether includeAllData is set.
options. ledgerVersion integer Optional Get ledger data for this historical ledger version.

Return Value

This method returns a promise that resolves with an object with the following structure:

Name Type Description
stateHash string Hash of all state information in this ledger.
closeTime date-time string The time at which this ledger was closed.
closeTimeResolution integer Approximate number of seconds between closing one ledger version and closing the next one.
closeFlags integer A bit-map of flags relating to the closing of this ledger. Currently, the ledger has only one flag defined for closeFlags: sLCF_NoConsensusTime (value 1). If this flag is enabled, it means that validators were in conflict regarding the correct close time for the ledger, but built otherwise the same ledger, so they declared consensus while "agreeing to disagree" on the close time. In this case, the consensus ledger contains a closeTime value that is 1 second after that of the previous ledger. (In this case, there is no official close time, but the actual real-world close time is probably 3-6 seconds later than the specified closeTime.)
ledgerHash string Unique identifying hash of the entire ledger.
ledgerVersion integer The ledger version of this ledger.
parentLedgerHash string Unique identifying hash of the ledger that came immediately before this one.
parentCloseTime date-time string The time at which the previous ledger was closed.
totalDrops value Total number of drops (1/1,000,000th of an XRP) in the network, as a quoted integer. (This decreases as transaction fees cause XRP to be destroyed.)
transactionHash string Hash of the transaction information included in this ledger.
rawState string Optional A JSON string containing all state data for this ledger in rippled JSON format.
rawTransactions string Optional A JSON string containing rippled format transaction JSON for all transactions that were validated in this ledger.
stateHashes array\<string> Optional An array of hashes of all state data in this ledger.
transactionHashes array\<id> Optional An array of hashes of all transactions that were validated in this ledger.
transactions array\<getTransaction> Optional Array of all transactions that were validated in this ledger. Transactions are represented in the same format as the return value of getTransaction.

Example

return api.getLedger()
  .then(ledger => {/* ... */});

generateAddress

generateAddress(): {address: string, secret: string}

Generate a new Ripple address and corresponding secret.

Parameters

Name Type Description
options object Optional Options to control how the address and secret are generated.

}

computeLedgerHash

computeLedgerHash(ledger: Object): string

Compute the hash of a ledger.

Parameters

Name Type Description
ledger object The ledger header to hash.
ledger. stateHash string Hash of all state information in this ledger.
ledger. closeTime date-time string The time at which this ledger was closed.
ledger. closeTimeResolution integer Approximate number of seconds between closing one ledger version and closing the next one.
ledger. closeFlags integer A bit-map of flags relating to the closing of this ledger. Currently, the ledger has only one flag defined for closeFlags: sLCF_NoConsensusTime (value 1). If this flag is enabled, it means that validators were in conflict regarding the correct close time for the ledger, but built otherwise the same ledger, so they declared consensus while "agreeing to disagree" on the close time. In this case, the consensus ledger contains a closeTime value that is 1 second after that of the previous ledger. (In this case, there is no official close time, but the actual real-world close time is probably 3-6 seconds later than the specified closeTime.)
ledger. ledgerHash string Unique identifying hash of the entire ledger.
ledger. ledgerVersion integer The ledger version of this ledger.
ledger. parentLedgerHash string Unique identifying hash of the ledger that came immediately before this one.
ledger. parentCloseTime date-time string The time at which the previous ledger was closed.
ledger. totalDrops value Total number of drops (1/1,000,000th of an XRP) in the network, as a quoted integer. (This decreases as transaction fees cause XRP to be destroyed.)
ledger. transactionHash string Hash of the transaction information included in this ledger.
ledger. rawState string Optional A JSON string containing all state data for this ledger in rippled JSON format.
ledger. rawTransactions string Optional A JSON string containing rippled format transaction JSON for all transactions that were validated in this ledger.
ledger. stateHashes array\<string> Optional An array of hashes of all state data in this ledger.
ledger. transactionHashes array\<id> Optional An array of hashes of all transactions that were validated in this ledger.
ledger. transactions array\<getTransaction> Optional Array of all transactions that were validated in this ledger. Transactions are represented in the same format as the return value of getTransaction.

Return Value

This method returns an uppercase hexadecimal string representing the hash of the ledger.

Example

const ledger = {
  "stateHash": "D9ABF622DA26EEEE48203085D4BC23B0F77DC6F8724AC33D975DA3CA492D2E44",

}

error

This event is emitted when there is an error on the connection to the server that cannot be associated to a specific request.

Return Value

The first parameter is a string indicating the error type: badMessage - rippled returned a malformed message websocket - the websocket library emitted an error * one of the error codes found in the rippled Universal Errors.

The second parameter is a message explaining the error.

The third parameter is: the message that caused the error for badMessage the error object emitted for websocket * the parsed response for rippled errors

Example

api.on('error', (errorCode, errorMessage, data) => {
  console.log(errorCode + ': ' + errorMessage);
});
tooBusy: The server is too busy to help you now.

connected

This event is emitted after connection successfully opened.

Example

api.on('connected', () => {
  console.log('Connection is open now.');
});

disconnected

This event is emitted when connection is closed.

Return Value

The only parameter is a number containing the close code send by the server.

Example

api.on('disconnected', (code) => {
  if (code !== 1000) {
    console.log('Connection is closed due to error.');
  } else {
    console.log('Connection is closed normally.');
  }
});
