Database API

The database API is available from the full node via web-sockets.
Objects
get_objects
Get the objects corresponding to the provided IDs.
If any of the provided IDs does not map to an object, a null variant is returned in its position.
fc::variants graphene::app::database_api::get_objects(
    const vector<object_id_type> &ids, 
    optional<bool> subscribe = optional<bool>())const
Parameters
Return
ids: IDs of the objects to retrieve
subscribe: true to subscribe to the queried objects; false to not subscribe; null to subscribe or not subscribe according to current auto-subscription setting (see set_auto_subscription)
The objects retrieved, in the order they are mentioned in ids.
Subscriptions
set_subscribe_callback
Register a callback handle which then can be used to subscribe to object database changes.
Note: auto-subscription is enabled by default and can be disabled with set_auto_subscription​
void graphene::app::database_api::set_subscribe_callback(
    std::function<void(const variant&)> cb, 
    bool notify_remove_create, )
Parameters
cb: The callback handle to register
notify_remove_create: Whether subscribe to universal object creation and removal events. If this is set to true, the API server will notify all newly created objects and ID of all newly removed objects to the client, no matter whether client subscribed to the objects. By default, API servers don’t allow subscribing to universal events, which can be changed on server startup.
set_pending_transaction_callback
Register a callback handle which will get notified when a transaction is pushed to database.
Note: A transaction can be pushed to the database and be popped from the database several times while processing, before and after,, included in a block. Every time a push is done, the client will be notified.
void graphene::app::database_api::set_pending_transaction_callback(
    std::function<void(const variant &signed_transaction_object)> cb)
Parameters
cb: The callback handle to register
set_block_applied_callback
Register a callback handle which will get notified when a block is pushed to database.
void graphene::app::database_api::set_block_applied_callback(
    std::function<void(const variant &block_id)> cb)
Parameters
cb: The callback handle to register
cancel_all_subscriptions
Stop receiving any notifications.
This unsubscribes from all subscribed markets and objects.
void graphene::app::database_api::cancel_all_subscriptions()
Blocks and transactions

optional<block_header> graphene::app::database_api::get_block_header(
    uint32_t block_num)const
Parameters
Return

optional<signed_block> graphene::app::database_api::get_block(
    uint32_t block_num)const
Parameters
Return
block_num: Height of the block to be returned

    uint32_t block_num, uint32_t trx_in_block)const
Parameters
Return
block_num: height of the block to fetch

Parameters
Return
txid: hash of the transaction
The corresponding transaction if found, or null if not found.
