For a while now on the grin-wallet API I’ve been collecting notes and script, especially lately as I’ve been supporting a developer working for an Exchange. I managed to put everything together in a tutorial type document. The document takes you from installing grin to communicating with the API. > **[GitHub - grincc/grin-wallet-api-tutorial: Grin wallet API Tutorial](https://github.com/grincc/grin-wallet-api-tutorial)** > > Grin wallet API Tutorial. Contribute to grincc/grin-wallet-api-tutorial development by creating an account on GitHub. You will also find a folder named `scripts`. There are **+20 bash scripts** to query the API using cURL. Feel free of adding more content. ---

> Also if you want to run your node in a separate server from the wallet which is recommended, please change `api_http_addr` to run on your server IP, example: > api\_http\_addr = “192.168.0.10:3413” > NOTE: Make sure you are using your own IP. This isn’t necessary for most users. 0.0.0.0 will listen on all interfaces by default. Maybe you’d prefer comments like this on github but I don’t really know how to use it if that’s supposed to be PR or Issue or what. I appreciate the documenting of these tutorials, it was your previous comment on the forum that I used to get mine running as a service. ---

Nice! Just two quick revisions under “Running grin as a service” “NOTE: Be aware that you probably will need to properly configure your firewall” should be “NOTE: Be aware that you will probably need to properly configure your firewall.” And “You see will now the status:” should be “You will now see the status:” ---
