• AtomicDEX (mm2) is up and running

• You can find all the possible methods accepted by it here: https://developers.atomicdex.io/basic-docs/atomicdex/atomicdex-api.html (opens new window)

• To easily test/use various methods, open another terminal window and export the rpc_password's value to the environment variable named userpass

export userpass="<value of rpc_password from MM2.json here>"

• Now, find the version of the program using the version RPC:

curl --url "http://127.0.0.1:7783" --data "{\"method\":\"version\",\"userpass\":\"$userpass\"}"
