Connecting to the wallet's V3 Owner API from Node

This is a small sample with code that demonstrates how to initialize the Wallet V3's Secure API and call API functions through it.

To run this sample:

First run the Owner API:

grin-wallet owner_api

The Owner API uses HTTP Basic authentication when api_secret_path is configured in grin-wallet.toml. Before running the sample, load the secret from that file into an environment variable:

export GRIN_OWNER_API_SECRET="$(cat /path/to/.owner_api_secret)"

The sample sends it as the password for the grin user. If api_secret_path is disabled, the environment variable can be omitted.

Ensure the client connection settings in src/index.js match the Owner API address.

Then (assuming Node.js >=20 and npm are installed on the system):

npm install
node src/index.js

Feel free to play around with the sample, modifying it to call whatever functions you'd like to see in operation!
