#4 Integration with our text messaging service

[Anonymous]

hello,

how does this server node work? you offer this service? or we install ourselves?

i want to integrate this with our text messagjng service so users can configure
notification settings based on certain paraneters. we can start with queries first but its best to have system scanning each blockchain for addresses and other information we need in real time.

You have to install it on your server according to the instructions in the README file.

When using desktop application, data acquisition will be interrupted when you switch off your computer. The main advantage of using server node instead of desktop application is that server is running continuously and therefore performs checks and collects data without interruption.

Only e-mail notifications are supported at the moment.

Which specific sms gateway would you like to use? Also what parameters are you interested in?

sms api here. http://sms.diamondcard.us/doc/ - its a listing of api examples.

to start, i need date/time, transaction amount. maybe also number of confirmations from 0-6 if we are talking bitcoin. for example,, transaction shows up. we notify user. confirmations are zero. then confirmation hits 1,2,3,4,5,6 we also notify user if he wants to be notified at one or more steps

to start, trans amount and date/time.

thanks.

when you do email notifications, are you sending an email directly from script or using api so an external email gateway sends the email out? preferably a call to external gateway. if yes, we can add email notifications to out system too.

E-mail notifications are sent by Python script notification.py. However at the moment there are no parameters passed to the script about the affected address, transaction amount etc., so it only sends general alert e-mail.

I could implement some changes to provide more details to the script, but this would definitely take some time.

You could than easily modify the notification.py script according to your needs.
