# Ethereum JavaScript API

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/ethereum/ethereum.js.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/ethereum/ethereum.js)

This is the Ethereum compatible JavaScript API using `Promise`s
which implements the [Generic JSON RPC](https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Generic-JSON-RPC) spec.

For an example see `index.html`.

**Please note this repo is in it's early stage.**

If you'd like to run a WebSocket ethereum node check out
[go-ethereum](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum).

To install ethereum and spawn a node:

go get github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/ethereum
ethereum -ws -loglevel=4
```
