Introduction
Learn how to send and receive instant Bitcoin payments with Rust and ZBD.
Prerequisites
To complete this guide, you will need the following:
- ZBD Project with a Live API key
- Rust and cargo installed
1. Create a Rust project
cargo new <project-name>
cd <project-name>
2. Install dependencies
Add both the zebedee-rust and tokio crates to your project:
cargo add zebedee-rust tokio
3. Update your Cargo.toml
Update your Cargo.toml file to use full features in tokio.
[package]
name = "zbd-rust"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"
# See more keys and their definitions at https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html
[dependencies]
tokio = { version = "1.29.1", features = ['full']}
zebedee-rust = "0.4.4"
4. Create a Charge
Open your project’s main.rs file and add the following code:
use std::env;
use zebedee_rust::{charges::*, ZebedeeClient};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main(){
let apikey: String = env::var("ZBD_API_KEY").unwrap();
let zbd_client = ZebedeeClient::new().apikey(apikey).build();
let charge = Charge{
amount: String::from("5000"),
..Default::default()
};
let charges_res = zbd_client.create_charge(&charge).await.unwrap();
println!("{:?}", charge_res);
}
Make sure to create an environment variable called ZBD_API_KEY in your Rust project. This is the API key you get from your ZBD Project.
Run the following command to create your charge:
cargo run
You can now create charges using the ZBD and Rust!
5. Try it yourself
You can now begin receiving instant Bitcoin payments with Rust + ZBD!
