RPC endpoint request [Glif]

[lerajk]

Issue summary

The following RPC commands are being deemed useful for Glif. We will try to include them in Forest. We can exclude the ETH endpoints.

Other information and links

• Filecoin endpoints
• Ethereum endpoints

Context: These are all the endpoints that can be accessed through the Lotus Gateway. They were not picked by Glif.

[lerajk]

These are the ones we need to include; the most active endpoints are listed below:

• ChainHead
• StateMinerPower
• ChainGetMessage
• StateMarketStorageDeal
• StateMinerInfo
• EthCall
• WalletBalance
• EthGetBalance
• EthBlockNumber
• EthGetTransactionHashByCid
• EthChainId
• StateAccountKey
• ChainNotify
• EthFeeHistory
• EthGetBlockByNumber
• ChainGetBlockMessages
• ChainGetTipSet
• EthGetTransactionCount
• EthGetTransactionReceipt
• StateLookupID
• ChainGetMessageInTipset
• StateLookupID
• StateGetActor
• ChainGetTipSetByHeight
• EthGasPrice
• MsigGetAvailableBalance
• ChainGetParentMessage
• EthGetLogs
• StateReadState

The ones in bold are high priority.

Makes sense to group them by namespace instead of implementing them one by one, i.e., prioritize implementing:

1. Filecoin.Chain*
2. Filecoin.State*
3. eth_*
4. Filecoin.Wallet*

And so on...

@lemmih should we close this in favour of other, recent issues and the project sheet?
