1. init a MySQL database with this [schema](./federation.sql);
2. run a `bytomd` node;
3. run a `vapord` node and import the federation private key;
-4. and last but not least, run a `fedd` node with a `fed_cfg.json`.
+4. and last but not least, run a `fedd` node with a `fed_cfg.json` and it will listen at 9886 port.
A `fed_cfg.json` would look like this:
```json
{
"api" : {
- "listening_port" : 3000,
"is_release_mode": false
},
"mysql" : {
}
}
```
+## API
+A federation node can function as an api server for querying cross-chain transactions.
+
+The default JSON-RPC endpoint is: [http://host:port/api/v1/federation/](http://host:port/api/v1/federation/)
+
+The response contains some meta data of:
+
++ success/error status, which can be told from `code` and `msg`;
++ pagination info, which can be told from `start`, `limit` and `_links` (`_links` is used to look up the preceding and the succeeding items);
+
+and looks like:
+```
+{
+ "code":200,
+ "msg":"",
+ "result":{
+ "_links":{
+ },
+ "data":...,
+ "limit":10,
+ "start":0
+ }
+}
+```
+
+If a request succeed, `data` field contains the detailed result as an object or as an array of objects.
+
+### Pagination
+
+Append `?start=<integer>&limit=<integer>` to the url in order to use pagination.
+
+### Methods
+
+#### `/list-crosschain-txs`
+
+To list cross-chain transactions and filter the transactions.
+
+##### Parameters
+
+Optional:
+
+- `Object` - *filter*, transactions filter.
+ + Optional
+ * `String` - *status*, transactions status, which can be `pending` or `completed`.
+ * `String` - *source_chain_name*, transactions source chain, which can be `bytom` or `vapor`.
+ * `String` - *address*, filter cross-chain requests by address. The address can be either a mainchain or a sidechain one. Note that other requests in such a transaction will also be filtered.
+ * `String` - *source_tx_hash*, souce transaction hash string.
+ * `String` - *dest_tx_hash*, destination transaction hash string.
+- `Object` - *sort*, transactions sorter.
+ + Optional
+ * `String` - *order*, transactions order sorter, which can be `asc` or `desc`.
+
+
+##### Returns
+
+
+`Object`:
+
+- `String` - *source_chain_name*, source chain name of the cross-chain transaction.
+- `Integer` - *source_block_height*, block height of the cross-chain transaction on the source chain.
+- `Integer` - *source_block_timestamp*, block timestamp of the cross-chain transaction on the source chain.
+- `String` - *source_block_hash*, block hash of the cross-chain transaction on the source chain.
+- `Integer` - *source_tx_index*, transaction index in the source block.
+- `String` - *source_tx_hash*, source transaction hash.
+- `Integer` - *dest_block_height*, block height of the cross-chain transaction on the destination chain, `0` if `status` is `pending`.
+- `Integer` - *dest_block_timestamp*, block timestamp of the cross-chain transaction on the destination chain, `0` if `status` is `pending`.
+- `String` - *dest_block_hash*, block hash of the cross-chain transaction on the destination chain, empty string if `status` is `pending`.
+- `Integer` - *dest_tx_index*, transaction index in the destination block, `0` if `status` is `pending`.
+- `String` - *dest_tx_hash*, destination transaction hash, empty string if `status` is `pending`.
+- `String` - *status*, cross-chain transaction status, can be `pending` or `completed`.
+- `Array of objects` - *crosschain_requests*, asset transfer details per request included in the cross-chain transaction.
+ + `Integer` - *amount*, asset transfer amount.
+ + `String` - *from_address*, source address.
+ + `String` - *to_address*, destination address.
+ + `Object` - *asset*, asset detail.
+ * `String` - *asset_id*, asset id string.
+
