This is Project 3: RESTful API with Node.js Framework. In this project I created two endpoints to access and add blocks to my private blockchain.

To setup the project for review do the following:

1. Download the project.
2. Run command npm install to install the project dependencies.
3. Run command node simpleChain.js in the root directory to generate a blockchain with test blocks.
4. Run command node app.js to start server. Access the server at the following address:

http://localhost:8000/

• Node.js Framework This project uses Express.js, a fast, unopinionated, minimalist framework for Node.js. More information can be found at:

  https://expressjs.com
  

URL: http://localhost:8000/block/[blockheight]

Example URL path: http://localhost:8000/block/3 -> where '3' is the block height

Response: The response provides a block object of corresponding height in JSON format.

URL: http://localhost:8000/block

Payload:

  {
    "data": "insert block body data here"
  }

Response: The response provides a newly generated block, containing corresponding payload data, in JSON format.
