Creating Channels on DL Fabric Gateway™

Creating a channel is required to protect your Chaincode from other users.

Goal

Create a channel on DL Fabric Gateway™ using the fab_createChannel API:

POST
https://dlfabricnetwork.dltlabs.com/api/1.0/fab_createChannel

Step 1

Open a Command Line Interface (CLI) of your choice (Terminal, cmd, etc.)

Step 2

Install curl (if not already installed): Download links — Linux/Windows

Step 3

Copy and paste the following API Call into your CLI of choice, and tap “enter” on your keyboard

curl -X POST \
‘https://dlfabricnetwork.dltlabs.com/api/1.0/fab_createChannel' \
-H ‘Content-Type: application/json’ \
-H ‘Authorization: AUTH_TOKEN_HERE’ \
-d ‘{
 “userName” : “your@email.com”,
 “channelName” : “yourchannel”
 }’

*Note

Where AUTH_TOKEN_HERE should be replaced with the Authentication Token received at your email address, your@email.com should be replaced with the email address used to register for DL Fabric Gateway™, and yourchannel should be replaced with a valid channel name.

Example:

You should receive a success response on the command line indicating that you have successfully created and joined a channel:

{
 “status”: “success”,
 “message”: “Channel successfully created.”
}
