Get Started

The XRP Ledger is always online and entirely public. You can access it directly from your browser with RippleAPI for JavaScript (ripple-lib). Try experimenting with some of the following examples:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lodash.js/4.17.15/lodash.js"></script> <script type="application/javascript" src="assets/js/ripple-lib-1.8.0-min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="assets/vendor/codemirror-js-json-lint.min.js"></script>

const mainnet = new ripple.RippleAPI({
  server: 'wss://s1.ripple.com' // Public rippled server
});

(async function(api) {
  await api.connect();
  let ledger = await api.getLedger();
  console.log(ledger);
})(mainnet);

Run

Output

<script type="application/javascript"> const code_ex = $("#step2code"); const code_text = code_ex.text().trim(); code_ex.text(""); const cm = CodeMirror(code_ex.get(0), { mode: 'javascript', json: false, smartIndent: false, }); cm.setValue(code_text); const cm_resp = CodeMirror($("#step2resp").get(0), { mode: 'javascript', json: false, readOnly: true }); let ret; $("#step2button").click((evt) => { const oldconsole = console; console = { log: (...args) => { oldconsole.log(...args); args.forEach(arg => cm_resp.setValue(JSON.stringify(arg, null, 2))) } } Function(cm.getValue())(); }); </script>
