How to create an asset on Bigchaindb server using http call

Question

I have created an account on bigchaindb site. Now I want to post some data to online server using http call by postman. I got it that I need to mention api_key and app_id in header. What I need to keep in body and what other parameters should be passed ?

Answer 1

You could start like this:

method = POST

URL = https://test.bigchainb.com/api/v1/transactions?mode=commit

Headers

app_id: value

app_key: value

Content-Type: application/json

Body

The final, signed (fulfilled) transaction goes in the body, but I'm not sure what format Postman expects it in. Maybe a Unicode JSON string?

To construct a valid signed transaction, you should probably use one of the BigchainDB drivers, and if you're doing that, then why not also use the same driver to POST the transaction to the BigchainDB Testnet? Here's a list of drivers:
