Dogecoin RPC Examples
This page provides examples of how to interact with the Dogecoin network using JSON-RPC commands via curl. Understanding these examples can help developers integrate with the Dogecoin blockchain for various applications. To get help on specific JSON-RPC commands, you can often generate them from the dogecoin-cli help command, for instance, dogecoin-cli help sendtoaddress.
Dogecoin RPC Commands with Curl
Below are common Dogecoin RPC commands demonstrated with curl. Each example shows the JSON-RPC request structure, including authentication, method, parameters, and the target URL.
