RESTful API for the Proof of Humanity protocol and ecosystem.

This project started a couple of weeks ago when I was playing with some concepts. I found it hard to query information from the PoH protocol easily. Talking with other devs I saw this was a shared frustration.

Examples:

Today it only has a few endpoints, but more are in the works. Curious to hear what other devs would like to see.

There is also an instance for the Kovan Testnet registry: https://api-kovan.poh.dev

GraphQL. :slight_smile: But I could build that using your REST API as a backend datasource.

Update:

  • Returned profiles now include the property vanity_id (docs)

vanity_id is a sequential ID assigned to every profile when they are accepted into the registry (moving to REGISTERED status). So not all profiles will have a vanity ID. Once assigned a vanity ID is permanent, it won’t be removed or changed, regardless of the profiles status.

The intention is a number to brag about, for example I am #2,973 in the registry.

I’d like to add a couple lines into the profiles/{eth_address} controller to check to see if the parameter looks like an ENS name before doing the lookup. Would be a nice touch.

Great idea! ENS support would fit perfectly (and play into the future HNS plans).

Can you create a PR to support this? If not can you create an issue on the repo so I can remember it in the near future?
