Streaming API

Question

Guys

Do you have an expected release date for the streaming API?
I ask because I need to build out an activity log from the chain and obviously this would be much easier with said API available :)

 

Thanks

Marty

Not yet a firm date. But in the meantime you can use quasi-streams for small volumes:

Can you add the stream data to the originating raw transaction as an additional output so that both are published as an atomic unit of work?

Yes, absolutely, you can use a high-level API like sendwithmetadata(from) or use the raw transactions API for more control: http://www.multichain.com/developers/raw-transactions/
