[Steem API Explorer](http://steemroll.io/api-explorer) is a tool for testing Steem API calls. It is useful for developers but also for people who just want to see the raw blockchain data.

## Usage ##
Select what method you want to call and get a set of changeable parameters. The result can be viewed either as formatted JSON, raw JSON or expandable tree.

## Errors ##
Errors are output explicitly and can be tracked to the the relevant API method in [Steem](https://github.com/steemit/steem), for example [database_api::get_account_references](https://github.com/steemit/steem/blob/master/libraries/app/database_api.cpp#L359-L379) as shown below.

## Tips ##
* Use the arrow keys to quickly browse methods and see what parameters they take.
* Your last query is contained in the URL in case you want to share it.

## Issues ##
* *get_account_references* is not working due to [this](https://github.com/steemit/steem/blob/master/libraries/app/database_api.cpp#L364-L379).
* *get_best_categories*, *get_active_categories* and *get_recent_categories* seem unused if you look at [this](http://steemroll.io/api-explorer/#method=get_state&params=[""]) and will always return empty results. *get_trending_categories* works though.
* For *get_transaction* and *get_witnesses* I haven't figured out what input they require. If anyone knows please give me a shout!

## TODO ##
* Add the [remaining methods](http://steemroll.io/api-explorer/remaining_methods.txt)
* Add loading spinner for slow methods
* Description of parameters
* Sortable table view for list results
