JSON Ledger API Migration to V2 guide

JSON Ledger API Migration to V2 guide

Migration guide for existing JSON Ledger API V1 users.

JSON Ledger API V2 is a mirror of a gRPC Ledger API, thus it diverges substantially in some aspects from V1 API.

Some v1 endpoints have simple corresponding v2 endpoints, while some need more calls or extra processing in order to simulate v1 behavior.

Chapters below only point out the endpoints that should be used in v2.

Always consult JSON Ledger API OpenAPI definition for exact details and usage.

Create a New Contract

  • v1 endpoint: POST /v1/create

  • v2 equivalent: POST /v2/commands/submit-and-wait

Put CreateCommand: payload as JsCommands/commands element.

There are also alternate endpoints available, such as: - /v2/commands/submit-and-wait-for-transaction - /v2/commands/submit-and-wait-for-transaction-tree

They might be used instead of /v2/commands/submit-and-wait to get more data about processed transactions.

Create a Contract with a Command ID

  • v1 endpoint: POST /v1/create

  • v2 equivalent: POST /v2/commands/submit-and-wait

Same as Create a New Contract Put commandId as part of JsCommand object.

Exercise by Contract ID

  • v1 endpoint : POST /v1/exercise

  • v2 equivalent: POST /v2/commands/submit-and-wait

Put ExersiseCommand: <payload> as JsCommands/commands element.

Check JSON Ledger API OpenAPI definition for details.

Exercise by Contract Key

  • v1 endpoint: POST /v1/exercise

  • v2 equivalent: POST /v2/commands/submit-and-wait

Put ExerciseCommand: <payload> as JsCommands/commands element.

Check JSON Ledger API OpenAPI definition for details.

Create and Exercise in the Same Transaction

  • v1 endpoint: POST /v1/create-and-exercise

  • v2 equivalent: POST /v2/commands/submit-and-wait

Put CreateAndExerciseCommand: <payload> as JsCommands/commands element.

Check JSON Ledger API OpenAPI definition for details.

Fetch Contract by Contract ID

  • v1 endpoint: POST /v1/fetch

  • v2 equivalent: POST /v2/events/events-by-contract-id

Fetch Contract by Key

  • v1 endpoint: POST /v1/fetch

  • v2 equivalent: no direct replacement

Contract keys feature is not available in canton 3.3.

Get All Active Contracts

  • v1 endpoint: GET /v1/query

  • v2 equivalent: /v2/state/active-contracts, if you do not have desired ledger offset (activeAtOffset), obtain it via a call to /v2/state/ledger-end.

There is also a streaming version of this endpoint in V2, which uses websockets. It provides better scalability for large results.

Get All Active Contracts Matching a Given Query

  • URL: GET /v1/query`

  • v2: no direct replacement

    • Option 1: use /v2/state/active-contracts and query result in client code

    • Option 2: use PQS (suitable for more demanding use cases)

Fetch Parties by Identifiers

  • v1 endpoint: POST /v1/parties

  • v2 equivalent: GET /v2/parties/<party-id>

Fetch All Known Parties

  • v1 endpoint: GET /v1/parties

  • v2 equivalent: GET /v2/parties

Allocate a New Party

  • v1 endpoint: POST /v1/parties/allocate

  • v2 equivalent: POST /v2/parties

Create a New User

  • v1 endpoint: POST /v1/user/create

  • v2 equivalent: POST /v2/users

Get Authenticated User Information

  • v1 endpoint: GET /v1/user

  • v2 equivalent: GET /v2/users/<user-id>

Get Specific User Information

  • v1 endpoint: POST /v1/user

  • v2 equivalent: GET /v2/users/<user-id>

Delete Specific User

  • v1 endpoint: /v1/user/delete

  • v2 equivalent: DELETE /v2/users/<user-id>

List Users

  • v1 endpoint: GET /v1/users

  • v2 equivalent: GET /v2/users

Grant User Rights

  • v1 endpoint: POST /v1/user/rights/grant

  • v2 equivalent: POST /v2/users/<user-id>/rights

Revoke User Rights

  • v1 endpoint: POST /v1/user/rights/revoke

  • v2 equivalent: PATCH /v2/users/<user-id>/rights

List Authenticated User Rights

  • v1 endpoint: GET /v1/user/rights

  • v2 equivalent: GET /v2/users/<user-id>/rights

List Specific User Rights

  • v1 endpoint: POST /v1/user/rights

  • v2 equivalent: GET /v2/users/<user-id>/rights

List All DALF Packages

  • v1 endpoint: GET /v1/packages

  • v2 equivalent: GET /v2/packages

Download a DALF Package

  • v1 endpoint: GET /v1/packages/<package ID>

  • v2 equivalent: GET /v2/packages/<package-ID>

Upload a DAR File

  • v1 endpoint: POST /v1/packages

  • v2 equivalent: POST /v2/packages

Metering Report

  • v1 endpoint: /v1/metering-report

  • v2: no direct replacement, metring has been removed

Streaming API

Contracts Query Stream

  • v1 endpoint: websocket /v1/stream/query

  • v2 equivalent: websocket /v2/state/active-contracts

Fetch by Key Contracts Stream

  • v1 endpoint: websocket /v1/stream/fetch

  • v2: no direct replacement

    • Option 1: Use PQS

    • Option 2: Use /v2/state/active-contracts with client site filtering (for infrequent queries).
