MicroCoin Rider

Source code of the https://rider.microcoin.hu project

MicroCoin Rider is an API server for the MicroCoin ecosystem. It acts as the interface between MicroCoin network and applications that want to access the MicroCoin network. It allows you to submit transactions to the network, check the status of accounts, subscribe to transactions, etc. Rider provides a RESTful API to allow client applications to interact with the MicroCoin network. You can communicate with Rider using cURL or just your web browser. However, if you’re building a client application, you’ll likely want to use a MicroCoin SDK in the language of your client.
