We are now digging deeper and deeper into nerdness with Linux. The world of Linux may not be exciting but this is where real money is made.
This series will take us as far as your eyes can see. Now we shall try Infura as an API service. There is Ethereum and IPFS in their list of services.
Let us begin with Linux using Linux Deploy.
Let us put the IPFS service to a very simple test.
That is their way of saying that is available.
Now I am going to try the Ethereum service. You can get your authorization token once you sign up.
The JSON result is simply unreadable to the untrained eye. The result which spewed unreadable result is actually the hexadecimal equivalent of the block number in the Ethereum main network.
The decimal equivalent is 6271223. As complicated as that may be it is still providing data for free.
Although there are queries where you can get even without the authorization tokens.
It is still advisable to get one for yourself if you want to get a hang of it.
