Manage Railguns

Creating and activating a Railgun requires two API calls. First, a Railgun must be initialized using the init call. The activation API call is made by Railgun when the daemon is started and does not need to be made by a user.

​​ POST init

POST /api/v2/railgun/init

Creates a Railgun. If the request is successful, a new Railgun is added to a user account and placed in initializing status (INI).

​​ Form parameters

  • email – User account email
  • tkn – User API token
  • name – Name of Railgun
  • pubname – Name of Railgun shown to users
