Getting Started

To start a REST server, we need to specify the following parameters:

Parameter	Type	Default	Required	Description
chain-id	string	null	true	chain id of the full node to connect
node	URL	"tcp://localhost:46657"	true	address of the full node to connect
laddr	URL	"tcp://localhost:1317"	true	address to run the rest server on
trust-node	bool	"false"	true	Whether this LCD is connected to a trusted full node
trust-store	DIRECTORY	"$HOME/.lcd"	false	directory for save checkpoints and validator sets

For example::

gaiacli rest-server --chain-id=test \
    --laddr=tcp://localhost:1317 \
    --node tcp://localhost:26657 \
    --trust-node=false

The server listens on HTTP by default. You can enable the secure layer by adding the --tls flag. By default a self-signed certificate will be generated and its fingerprint printed out. You can configure the server to use a SSL certificate by passing the certificate and key files via the --ssl-certfile and --ssl-keyfile flags:

gaiacli rest-server --chain-id=test \
    --laddr=tcp://localhost:1317 \
    --node tcp://localhost:26657 \
    --trust-node=false \
    --tls \
    --ssl-certfile=mycert.pem --ssl-keyfile=mykey.key
