Once the chaincode has been initialized by an administrative user, our application is open for business. Now, any ordinary user (such as Jim in the importer's organization) may request a chaincode invocation or query. For example, a trade request can be made as follows:

curl -s -X POST http://localhost:4000/chaincode/requestTrade -H "authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJleHAiOjE1MjUwMDU4NTQsInVzZXJuYW1lIjoiSmltIiwib3JnTmFtZSI6ImltcG9ydGVyb3JnIiwiaWF0IjoxNTI1MDAxNzE0fQ.yDX1PyKnpQAFC0mbo1uT1Vxgig0gXN9WNCwgp-1vj2g" -H "content-type: application/json" -d '{ "ccversion": "v0", "args": ["2ks89j9", "50000","Wood for Toys"] }'

Note that the chaincode version must be supplied in the request body. The output, if all goes well, will be:

{"success":true,"message":"Chaincode invoked"}

Subsequently, the status of the trade can be queried (again by Jim):

curl -s -X GET http://localhost:4000/chaincode/getTradeStatus -H "authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJleHAiOjE1MjUwMDU4NTQsInVzZXJuYW1lIjoiSmltIiwib3JnTmFtZSI6ImltcG9ydGVyb3JnIiwiaWF0IjoxNTI1MDAxNzE0fQ.yDX1PyKnpQAFC0mbo1uT1Vxgig0gXN9WNCwgp-1vj2g" -H "content-type: application/json" -d '{ "ccversion": "v0", "args": ["2ks89j9"] }'

Now, the output ought to contain the chaincode response:

{"success":true,"message":"{"Status":"REQUESTED"}"}
