Windows x64 CLI Tool¶
Table of Contents
In this section, we will show you how to install cli-wallet tools for Windows and try several methods to get the data from blockchain.
Start the CLI-Wallet (in Windows command prompt)¶
Note: We used the public API node of OpenLedger and connect via secured websocket connection.
>cli_wallet -s wss://bitshares.openledger.info/ws
If you open the cli-wallet successfully, you will see similar messages and receive new >>> prompt. Set a password and unlock the cli-wallte.:

Please use the set_password method to initialize a new wallet before continuing
new >>>
set_password
(e.g.) we used superaecret123 as a password.:
new >>> set_password supersecret123
set_password supersecret123
null
locked >>>
unlock- the cli-wallet:locked >>> unlock "supersecret123" unlock "supersecret123" null unlocked >>>
After this point, you can issue any command available to the cli-wallet (Wallet APIs) or construct your own transaction manually.
Q. How to close the CLI wallet in a clean way
Although in Windows closing the whole window produces a nasty exception, you can use ctrl-c or ctrl-d to try to stops the process.

unlocked >>>
gethelp- “list_accounts”
unlocked >>> gethelp "list_accounts"
Lists all accounts registered in the blockchain. This returns a list of all account names and their account ids, sorted by account name.
Use the 'lowerbound' and limit parameters to page through the list. To retrieve all accounts, start by setting 'lowerbound' to the empty string '""', and then each iteration, pass the last account name returned as the 'lowerbound' for the next 'list_accounts()' call.
Parameters:
lowerbound: the name of the first account to return. If the named account does not exist, the list will start at the account that comes after 'lowerbound' (type: const string &) limit: the maximum number of accounts to return (max: 1000) (type: uint32_t)
Returns
a list of accounts mapping account names to account ids
unlocked >>>
gethelp- “save_wallet_file”
unlocked >>> gethelp "save_wallet_file"
gethelp "save_wallet_file"
Saves the current wallet to the given filename.
Parameters:
wallet_filename: the filename of the new wallet JSON file to create or overwrite. If 'wallet_filename' is empty, save to the current filename. (type: string)
