Example
```
./censusHttpService 1500 Got_Favorite
2019/02/01 20:01:15 Starting process HTTP service on port 1500 for namespace GoT_Favorite
2019/02/01 20:01:15 Starting server in http mode
2019/02/12 10:20:16 Starting process HTTP service on port 1500 for namespace GoT_Favorite
2019/02/12 10:20:16 Starting server in http mode
```
#### add claims
## API
```
curl -d '{"censusID":"GoT_Favorite","claimData":"Jon Snow"}' http://localhost:1500/addClaim
A HTTP jSON endpoint is available with the following possible fields: `censusId`, `claimData`, `rootHash` and `proofData`.
{"error":false,"response":""}
```
If `pubKey` has been configured for a specific `censusId`, then two more methods are available (`timeStamp` and `signature`) to provide authentication.
If public key authentication enabled, `signature` field is required using Nancl signature.
The next table shows the available methods and its relation with the fields.
The signed message is expected to be a concatenation of the following fields: `censusID, claimData, timeStamp`
| method | censusId | claimData | rootHash | proofData | protected? | description |
|------------|-----------|-----------|----------|-----------|------------|------------|
| `addCLaim` | mandatory | mandatory | none | none | yes | adds a new claim to the merkle tree |
| `getRoot` | mandatory | none | none | none | no | get the current merkletree root hash
| `genProof` | mandatory | mandatory | optional | none | no | generate the merkle proof for a given claim
| `checkProof` | mandatory | mandatory | optional | mandatory | no | check a claim and its merkle proof
| `getIdx` | mandatory | mandatory | optional | none | no | get the merkletree data index of a given claim
| `dump` | mandatory | none | optional | none | yes | list the contents of the census for a given hash
There is a time window of 10 seconds while the signature is considered valid.
```
curl -d '{"censusID":"GoT_Favorite",
"claimData":"Jon Snow",
"timeStamp":"1547814675",
"signature":"a117c4ce12b29090884112ffe57e664f007e7ef142a1679996e2d34fd2b852fe76966e47932f1e9d3a54610d0f361383afe2d9aab096e15d136c236abb0a0d0e"}' http://localhost:1500/addClaim
{"error":false,"response":""}
```
## Signature
The signature provides authentication by signing a concatenation of the following strings (even if empty) without spaces: `censusId rootHash claimData timeStamp`.
#### generate proof
```
curl -d '{"censusID":"GoT_Favorite","claimData":"Jon Snow"}' http://localhost:1500/genProof
The `timeStamp` when received on the server side must not differ more than 10 seconds from the current UNIX time.
{"error":false,"response":"0x000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000352f3ca2aaf635ec2ae4452f6a65be7bca72678287a8bb08ad4babfcccd76c2fef1aac7675261bf6d12c746fb7907beea6d1f1635af93ba931eec0c6a747ecc37"}
```
## Examples
#### check proof
#### add claims
Add two new claims, one for `Jon Snow` and another for `Tyrion`.
```
curl -d '{"censusID":"GoT_Favorite","claimData":"Jon Snow", "proofData": "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000123"}' http://localhost:1500/checkProof
curl -d '{"censusID":"GoT_Favorite","claimData":"Jon Snow"}' http://localhost:1500/addClaim
{"error":false,"response":"invalid"}
{"error":false,"response":""}
```
```
curl -d '{"censusID":"GoT_Favorite","claimData":"Jon Snow", "proofData": "0x000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000352f3ca2aaf635ec2ae4452f6a65be7bca72678287a8bb08ad4babfcccd76c2fef1aac7675261bf6d12c746fb7907beea6d1f1635af93ba931eec0c6a747ecc37"}' http://localhost:1500/checkProof
curl -d '{"censusID":"GoT_Favorite","claimData":"Tyrion"}' http://localhost:1500/addClaim
{"error":false,"response":"valid"}
{"error":false,"response":""}
```
#### make snapshot
Snapshots are static and unmutable copies of a specific census
In case signature is enabled:
```
curl -d '{"censusID":"GoT_Favorite"}' http://localhost:1500/snapshot
curl -d '{
"censusID":"GoT_Favorite",
"claimData":"Jon Snow",
"timeStamp":"1547814675",
"signature":"a117c4ce12b29090884112ffe57e664f007e7ef142a1679996e2d34fd2b852fe76966e47932f1e9d3a54610d0f361383afe2d9aab096e15d136c236abb0a0d0e" }' http://localhost:1500/addClaim
{"error":false,"response":"0x8647692e073a10980d821764c65ca3fddbc606bb936f9812a7a806bfa97df152"}
{"error":false,"response":""}
```
The name for the snapshot is "0x8647692e073a10980d821764c65ca3fddbc606bb936f9812a7a806bfa97df152" which represents the Root Hash.
Now you can use it as censusID for checkProof, getRoot, genProof and dump. But addClaim is not longer allowed.
#### dump
#### generate proof
Dump contents of a specific censusID (values)
Generate a merkle proof for the claim `Jon Snow`
```
curl -d '{"censusID":"GoT_Favorite"}' http://localhost:1500/dump
{"error":false,"response":"[\"Tyrion\",\"Jon Snow\"]"}
```
curl -d '{"censusID":"GoT_Favorite","claimData":"Jon Snow"}' http://localhost:1500/genProof
{"error":false,"response":"0x000200000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000212f8134039730791388a9bd0460f9fbd0757327212a64b3a2b0f0841ce561ee3"}
```
If `rootHash` is specified, the proof will be calculated for the given root hash.
#### get root
The previous merkle proof is valid only for the current root hash. Let's get it
```
curl -d '{"censusID":"GoT_Favorite"}' http://localhost:1500/getRoot
{"error":false,"response":"0x2f0ddde5cb995eae23dc3b75a5c0333f1cc89b73f3a00b0fe71996fb90fef04b"}
```
#### check proof
##### add claims
Now let's check if the proof is valid
```
curl -d '{"processID":"GoT_Favorite","claimData":"Jon Snow"}' http://localhost:1500/addClaim
{"error":false,"response":""}
```
curl -d '{
"censusID":"GoT_Favorite","claimData":"Jon Snow",
"rootHash":"0x2f0ddde5cb995eae23dc3b75a5c0333f1cc89b73f3a00b0fe71996fb90fef04b",
"proofData":"0x000200000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000212f8134039730791388a9bd0460f9fbd0757327212a64b3a2b0f0841ce561ee3"}' http://localhost:1500/checkProof
```
curl -d '{"processID":"GoT_Favorite","claimData":"Tyrion"}' http://localhost:1500/addClaim
{"error":false,"response":""}
{"error":false,"response":"valid"}
```
##### generate proof
If `rootHash` is not specified, the current root hash is used.
```
curl -d '{"censusID":"GoT_Favorite","claimData":"Jon Snow"}' http://localhost:1500/genProof
{"error":false,"response":"0x000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000352f3ca2aaf635ec2ae4452f6a65be7bca72678287a8bb08ad4babfcccd76c2fef1aac7675261bf6d12c746fb7907beea6d1f1635af93ba931eec0c6a747ecc37"}
```
#### dump
##### check proof
Dump contents of a specific censusId (values)
```
curl -d '{"censusID":"GoT_Favorite","claimData":"Jon Snow", "proofData": "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000123"}' http://localhost:1500/checkProof
{"error":false,"response":"invalid"}
```
curl -d '{"censusID":"GoT_Favorite"}' http://localhost:1500/dump
```
curl -d '{"censusID":"GoT_Favorite","claimData":"Jon Snow", "proofData": "0x000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000352f3ca2aaf635ec2ae4452f6a65be7bca72678287a8bb08ad4babfcccd76c2fef1aac7675261bf6d12c746fb7907beea6d1f1635af93ba931eec0c6a747ecc37"}' http://localhost:1500/checkProof
{"error":false,"response":"valid"}
{"error":false,"response":"[\"Tyrion\",\"Jon Snow\"]"}
```
If `rootHash` is specified, dump will return the values for the merkle tree with the given root hash.
