CTRL API

previously VaaS API

Swagger-gen’d python3-flask HTTP REST API for blockchain itemization using IPFS & Ethereum.

Introduction

CTRL API uses docker and docker-compose to build and run the entire backend.

Background services include couchdb, go-ipfs, go-ethereum (geth).

The primary api ties them all together with a sleek little REST API.

Note: All services are exposed to localhost, so use a firewall!

CTRL needs virtually no configuration. Just send it.

git clone https://github.com/brocksmedley/ctrl-api
