Client library used to access Dash DAPI endpoints

This library enables HTTP-based interaction with the Dash blockchain and Dash Platform via the decentralized API ([DAPI](https://github.com/dashpay/platform/tree/master/packages/dapi)) hosted on Dash masternodes.

- `DAPI-Client` provides automatic server (masternode) discovery using either a default seed node or a user-supplied one
- `DAPI-Client` maps to DAPI's [RPC](https://github.com/dashpay/platform/tree/master/packages/dapi/lib/rpcServer/commands) and [gRPC](https://github.com/dashpay/platform/tree/master/packages/dapi/lib/grpcServer/handlers) endpoints

### Install

### ES5/ES6 via NPM

In order to use this library in Node, you will need to add it to your project as a dependency.

Having [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/) installed, just type in your terminal :

```sh
npm install @dashevo/dapi-client

### CDN Standalone
