Working With the Retrieve Asset Info Node in Interactive Mode

In this quick tutorial, we will cover Working With the Retrieve Asset Info Node in Interactive Mode. Here, we will create a flow containing the Retrieve Asset Info Node in interactive mode. In interactive mode, the end user clicks on the action button attached to the node, and the Catenis API method is called using the default settings.  You are not required to provide any input for nodes that support interactive mode.

In this video we will cover:

• What a Retrieve Asset Info Node in Interactive Mode is and how it works
• How to retrieve this information
• Creating a flow using the Retrieve Asset Info Node in interactive mode
• Deploying and testing your flow

Prerequisite

• A Free Catenis Development account or Production account
• Node-RED installed on either a local or cloud environment
• Catenis Flow Pallet installed on Node-RED
• A Catenis Virtual Device configured on Node-RED
• Basic understanding of how to use Node-RED
• Basic understanding of Bitcoin Blockchain concepts

You are all set to move on to the other videos in this tutorial series.

Hi, this is Clara for Blockchain of Things.

In this tutorial, we’ll create a flow containing the Retrieve Asset Info Node in Interactive Mode.

In Interactive Mode, the end user clicks on the action button

attached to the node to call the Catenis API method

using the values set in the node’s properties panel.

Before you proceed with this tutorial, you should already have learned how this node works

as well as how to create a flow using this node in RunTime Mode.

If you haven’t yet completed these tutorials, or would like to review, you can access them here:

Ready to go?

Let’s jump right in!

Drag a Retrieve Asset Info Node into your workspace.

Double-click it to display its properties slide-out panel.

On the device, drop-down field choose your Catenis Virtual Device.

Add the node’s configuration information based on your needs to each field.

Wire this node, to a Debug Node, and open the Debug Sidebar.

Click the deploy button.

Now, let’s test the flow!

Click the button attached to the left of the Retrieve Asset Info Node

to send the values set on the property panel
through the flow to the Catenis APIs.

The Debug Sidebar, should now display the returned JSON object containing the results.

Fantastic!

Now that you know how to create a flow using the Retrieve Asset Info Node,

it’s time to move on to our next tutorial.

where you’ll learn everything there is to
know about the Get Asset Balance Node.
