The api module contains all 3rd party API that is useful together with QurasLib. The main highlight is the qurasDB API which provides the necessary information to construct a ClaimTransaction or ContractTransaction. A normal QURAS node does not provide us with a convenient way of retrieving the balance or claimable transactions through RPC.

However, do note that these APIs rely on hosted nodes by 3rd party and thus use them at your own risk.

This module is structured slightly different from the rest of the modules. While the rest of the modules are flat in terms of hierachy, this module is composed of largely many other submodules. Only the core methods are found at the top level of the module.

These are core methods that help to tie up the different 3rd party APIs in order to simplify transaction creation and sending.

core methods are exposed at the top level of api. The 3 high level methods are:

1. claimGas - not implemented
2. sendAsset - implemented
3. doInvoke - implemented

These methods are the core functionality that quras-js will maintain. There is in built API selection that will choose the more reliable API between qurasDB and qurasIO based on past transactions.

The methods revolve around passing an configuration object containing all information down the chain. Each method digests the necessary information within the configuration object to perform its task and pass down the configuration object with new information added to it.
