Some of the APIs require a special miner public key parameter unavailable to public users.

Work in progress ...

Hi @scottstirling, this is really awesome work you have done here.

Can you help me out? Trying to access bitclout.com paths but they all return a 404 Not Found Error

Thanks, @Pycomet - please give me an example and I'll try to figure it out - some of them work as GET, some require POST, and some require a special "miner" Public key which regular users do not have.

[Pycomet-zz]

I am guessing all the /admin paths require a special "miner" public key and how do I get one? Because all I get in return, empty response for all of them.

[scottstirling]

Unless you run a node locally in which case you can now admin your own profile. See the bitclout/run project released tonight.

[scottstirling]

Caution: the node is not source. It is a Docker image prebuilt with a binary executable inside.

[scottstirling]

And a set of scripts and files that pull that Docker image down for you and start it up. Caveat emptor

[scottstirling]

I’ll say I’ve already tried it in a sandbox env. Which led me to discover the dependencies on BadgerDB.
