Backends are the protocols and methods used to communicate with the Monero daemon and interact with
|
|
|
|
|
the wallet. As of the time of this writing, the only backend available in this library is for the
|
|
|
|
|
HTTP based RPC server.

This backend requires a running ``monero-wallet-rpc`` process with a Monero wallet file opened.
|
|
|
|
|
This can be on your local system or a remote node, depending on where the wallet file lives and
|
|
|
|
|
where the daemon is running. Refer to the quickstart for general setup information.

The Python `requests`_ library is used in order to facilitate HTTP requests to the JSON RPC
|
|
|
|
|
interface. It makes POST requests and passes proper headers, parameters, and payload data as per
|
|
|
|
|
the official `Wallet RPC`_ documentation.
