External api call from ethereum smart contract

Posted By : Md Imroz Alam | 12-Dec-2016

Ethereum Smart Contract External API

Step 1.

Demo contract for call api with orcalize
// Save as "orcalize.sol"

pragma solidity ^0.4.0;

import "https://github.com/oraclize/ethereum-api/oraclizeAPI_0.4.sol"; 

contract ApiCall is usingOraclize {

    function DieselPrice() {
      // following code,Ethereum-bridge return value added to constructor 
      OAR = OraclizeAddrResolverI(0x56ad7524c192817b9f78ee117fdac186d5b3c995);
    }
    // this __callback function mandatory to add
    function __callback(bytes32 myid, string result) {
    }
    // user-definde function "update"
    function getCall() payable {
       oraclize_query("URL", "http://domain.com/getData/?data=Testing");
    }
}

browser-solidity link to test this contract -> http://dapps.oraclize.it/browser-solidity

Step 2. 

Setup Ethereum-bridge for private blockchain ,
    a) First take clone from https://github.com/oraclize/ethereum-bridge
        b) npm install
        c) run this command on terminal, node plugin -H localhost:8000 -a 0 // 0 refer to ethereum blockchain first account(etherbase account)
    d) wait for a some minute, ethereum-bridge will  some following code like , paste that code to constructor of our contract
      OAR = OraclizeAddrResolverI(0x56ad7524c192817b9f78ee117fdac186d5b3c995);

Step 3. 

Create Contract and deploy the Contract on Ethereum blockchain.

and then call getCall method of contract for external api call.
     
I hope this will helpful.
Thanks
