The [[Cryptonite]] API call list is essentially the same as the [https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_calls_list Bitcoin API call list] with a few small changes.

listunspent is now listbalances and we have a new command: setlimit<br>
You can use the help command to get information about setlimit or anything else.

The following API commands have been removed:<br>
getrawchangeaddress,decodescript,lockunspent,listlockedunspent

All coin values should include all 8 decimal places, end with ep, and be encapsulated in quotes like so:<br>
<code>./cryptonited sendtoaddress mvqH4czVQg2HdGpkV7PWVZJpRXVwLnMXpN "0.01000000ep"</code>

 * sendtoaddress,sendmany,sendfrom - The two comment fields have been replaced by a single message field that is actually included in the transaction
 * signrawtransaction - Extra parameters allowed to help with signing of partially unsigned multisignature addresses

 Since Cryptonite uses 64-bit's worth of coin units, it is not safe to treat amounts as double precision floating point values unless they are smaller than about 32 million XCN. To prevent old code designed for use with bitcoin daemon from trying to parse Cryptonite amounts, all RPC calls use strings to represent amounts. We call this encoding the extended-precision encoding, or EP for short.
-EP numbers are strings in JSON, and must always have 8 digits after the decimal point followed by "ep". An example of a valid RPC command using an ep number would be:
+EP numbers are strings in JSON, and must always have 10 digits after the decimal point followed by "ep". An example of a valid RPC command using an ep number would be:

 All amounts returned in RPC results are also EP numbers, and you must take care to parse them, do not use floating point to represent them unless you are really sure of what you are doing.

-The [[Cryptonite]] API is similar to the [https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_calls_list Bitcoin API], containing a few additions and subtractions, some changed arguments, and some use restrictions. Almost all commands returning anything more than a hash will return different JSON objects as compared to bitcoin.
