HTTP API Endpoints
The CLI commands map to HTTP endpoints on the CLI server (default port 5935) :/status- Node status/protocolParameters- Protocol info/registeredOrchestrators- Orchestrator list/bond,/unbond,/rebond- Staking operations/activateOrchestrator- Orchestrator activation/setBroadcastConfig- Broadcast configuration/setMaxPriceForCapability- AI pricing/reward- Claim rewards/transferTokens- Token transfers/signMessage- Message signing
Notes
- Commands are filtered based on node type - some only appear for orchestrators or gateways
- Testnet commands (like getting test tokens) only appear on test networks
- The CLI connects to the node’s HTTP API, typically on port 5935 for gateways and 7935 for orchestrators
