API Command Usage Guide for Tahcoin

Welcome to the API Command Usage Guide for Tahcoin! This guide will help you understand how to use a simple command in the terminal to send Tahcoin (TAH) to someone else. Additionally, we’ll cover how to install PHP if it’s not already on your system. Let’s break it down step by step!

What is Tahcoin?

Tahcoin is a type of digital money that you can use to send and receive funds over the internet. It operates on a secure network called a blockchain, which keeps track of all transactions without charging extra fees.

What Do You Need?

Before you can send Tahcoin, you need the following:

  1. Your Public Key: This is like your address where people can send you money.
  2. Your Private Key: This is your secret password that allows you to access your funds—keep this safe!
  3. Receiver's Public Key: The address of the person you want to send money to.
  4. Amount: How much Tahcoin you want to send.

Installing PHP

If PHP is not installed on your computer, follow these steps to install it:

For Windows:

  1. Download PHP:

    • Go to the PHP Downloads page.
    • Choose the latest version and download the Non-Thread Safe version (usually in a ZIP file).

  2. Extract PHP:

    • Extract the downloaded ZIP file to a folder, e.g., C:\php.

  3. Add PHP to System Path:

    • Right-click on "This PC" or "My Computer" and select "Properties."
    • Click on "Advanced system settings."
    • Click on "Environment Variables."
    • Under "System variables," find and select the Path variable, then click "Edit."
    • Add the path to your PHP folder (e.g., C:\php) and click "OK."

  4. Verify Installation:

    • Open Command Prompt and type php -v. You should see the PHP version information.

For macOS:

  1. Using Homebrew:

    • If you don’t have Homebrew installed, open Terminal and run: 
      /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
    • Install PHP by running: 
      brew install php

  2. Verify Installation:

    • After installation, type php -v in Terminal. You should see the PHP version information.

For Linux:

  1. Using APT (Debian/Ubuntu):

    • Open Terminal and run: 
      sudo apt update
sudo apt install php

  2. Using YUM (CentOS/RHEL):

    • Open Terminal and run: 
      sudo yum install php

  3. Verify Installation:

    • Type php -v in Terminal. You should see the PHP version information.

The Command

To send Tahcoin using the API, you will use this command:

curl -X POST 'https://tahriver.online/api_313.php' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
-d 'public_key=your_public_key&private_key=your_private_key&receiver_address=your_receiver_address&amount=0.019990904'

Breaking Down the Command

  • curl -X api_313.php: This part tells your computer to run the program called api_313.php, which handles the transaction.
  • 'your_public_key': Replace this with your actual public key (your wallet address).
  • 'your_private_key': Replace this with your actual private key (your secure access key).
  • 'receiver_public_key': Replace this with the public key of the person you want to send money to (their wallet address).
  • 'amount': Specify how much TAH you want to send.

Example

Let’s say:

  • Your public key is TAH313
  • Your private key is HER313
  • Your friend's public key is TAH1999
  • You want to send 9 TAH.

Your command would look like this:

curl -X POST 'https://tahriver.online/api_313.php' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
-d 'public_key=TAH313&private_key=HER313&receiver_address=TAH1999&amount=9'

Running the Command

  1. Open your terminal or command prompt on your computer.
  2. Type in the command with your specific information.
  3. Press Enter.

If everything goes well, you will see a message confirming that your Tahcoin has been sent!

Important Tips

  • Double-check your keys and amount before sending any transactions.
  • Keep your private key secure! Never share it with anyone; it’s essential for protecting your funds.
  • If you encounter any issues, consider asking for help from someone knowledgeable about cryptocurrencies.
