## Introduction

This is a list of the monero-wallet-rpc calls, their inputs and outputs, and examples of each. The program monero-wallet-rpc replaced the rpc interface that was in simplewallet and then monero-wallet-cli.

All monero-wallet-rpc methods use the same JSON RPC interface. For example:

    IP=127.0.0.1
    PORT=18082
    METHOD="make_integrated_address"
    PARAMS="{\"payment_id\":\"1234567890123456789012345678900012345678901234567890123456789000\"}"
    curl \
        -X POST http://$IP:$PORT/json_rpc \
        -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"0","method":"'$METHOD'","params":'"$PARAMS"'}' \
        -H 'Content-Type: application/json'

If the monero-wallet-rpc was executed with the `--rpc-login` argument as `username:password`, then follow this example:

    IP=127.0.0.1
    PORT=18082
    METHOD="make_integrated_address"
    PARAMS="{\"payment_id\":\"1234567890123456789012345678900012345678901234567890123456789000\"}"
    curl \
        -u username:password --digest \
        -X POST http://$IP:$PORT/json_rpc \
        -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"0","method":"'$METHOD'","params":'"$PARAMS"'}' \
        -H 'Content-Type: application/json'

Note: "atomic units" refer to the smallest fraction of 1 XMR according to the monerod implementation. **1 XMR = 1e12 atomic units.**

## JSON RPC Methods:

### getbalance

Return the wallet's balance.

Inputs: *None*.

Outputs:

* *balance* - unsigned int; The total balance of the current monero-wallet-rpc in session.
* *unlocked_balance* - unsigned int; Unlocked funds are those funds that are sufficiently deep enough in the Monero blockchain to be considered safe to spend.
