Gemforce API Quick Reference¶

This document provides a concise reference for developers who need to interact with the Gemforce API, including smart contract calls and cloud function endpoints.

Smart Contract Interactions¶

Diamond Pattern¶

The Diamond pattern allows for modular and upgradeable smart contracts. All functionality is implemented through facets.

// Get the diamond address by symbol
address diamondAddress = diamondFactory.getDiamondAddress("GEM");

// Check if a diamond exists
bool exists = diamondFactory.exists("GEM");

// Create a new diamond
DiamondSettings memory settings = DiamondSettings({
    name: "Gemforce",
    symbol: "GEM",
    // Other settings...
});
address newDiamond = diamondFactory.createFromSet(
    settings,
    initializer,
    initData,
    "defaultFacetSet"
);

Identity Management¶

// Create a new identity
identityFactory.createIdentity(userAddress);

// Get an identity
address identityAddress = identityFactory.getIdentity(userAddress);

// Add a claim topic
claimTopicsRegistry.addClaimTopic(1); // e.g., KYC claim

// Add a trusted issuer
uint256[] memory topics = new uint256[](1);
topics[0] = 1; // KYC claim topic
trustedIssuersRegistry.addTrustedIssuer(issuerAddress, topics);

// Add a claim
identity.addClaim(
    1, // topic
    1, // scheme
    issuerAddress,
    signature,
    data,
    "https://example.com/claim"
);

// Check if an identity has a claim
bool hasKYC = identity.getClaim(claimId) != 0;

Token Management¶

// Mint a new token
Attribute[] memory attributes = new Attribute[](2);
attributes[0] = Attribute("name", AttributeType.String, "Carbon Credit");
attributes[1] = Attribute("amount", AttributeType.Number, "100");
uint256 tokenId = gemforceMinter.gemforceMint(attributes);

// Purchase a token
marketplace.purchaseItem(diamondAddress, tokenId);

// Retire carbon credits
carbonCredits.retireCarbonCredits(tokenId, 50);

Cloud Function APIs¶

Authentication¶

// Register a user
Parse.Cloud.run("registerUser", {
  username: "user@example.com",
  password: "password123",
  email: "user@example.com",
  company: "Example Corp",
  firstName: "John",
  lastName: "Doe"
}).then(result => {
  console.log("User registered:", result);
});

// Login (using Parse SDK)
Parse.User.logIn("username", "password").then(user => {
  console.log("Logged in:", user);
});

DFNS Wallet Management¶

// Register with DFNS
Parse.Cloud.run("registerInit", {
  username: "user@example.com"
}).then(challenge => {
  // Handle challenge with WebAuthn
  // Then complete registration
  return Parse.Cloud.run("registerComplete", {
    signedChallenge: signedChallenge,
    temporaryAuthenticationToken: tempToken
  });
}).then(result => {
  console.log("DFNS registration complete:", result);
});

// Login to DFNS
Parse.Cloud.run("login", {
  username: "user@example.com"
}).then(result => {
  const dfnsToken = result.token;
  // Store DFNS token for future operations
});

// List wallets
Parse.Cloud.run("listWallets", {
  authToken: dfnsToken
}).then(wallets => {
  console.log("User wallets:", wallets);
});

Contract Interactions via DFNS¶

This pattern is used for all blockchain interactions through DFNS: 1. Initialize the transaction 2. Sign the challenge client-side 3. Complete the transaction with the signed challenge

// Example: Purchase an item
Parse.Cloud.run("dfnsInitiatePurchase", {
  tokenId: "123",
  walletId: "wallet_123",
  dfns_token: dfnsToken
}).then(async ({ challenge, requestBody }) => {
  // Sign the challenge client-side using DFNS SDK
  const signedChallenge = await signChallenge(challenge);

  // Complete the purchase
  return Parse.Cloud.run("dfnsCompletePurchase", {
    walletId: "wallet_123",
    dfns_token: dfnsToken,
    signedChallenge: signedChallenge,
    requestBody: requestBody
  });
}).then(result => {
  console.log("Purchase complete:", result);
});

Identity Management via DFNS¶

// Create an identity
Parse.Cloud.run("dfnsCreateIdentityInit", {
  ownerAddress: "0x123...",
  walletId: "wallet_123",
  dfns_token: dfnsToken
}).then(async ({ challenge, requestBody }) => {
  // Sign the challenge client-side
  const signedChallenge = await signChallenge(challenge);

  // Complete the identity creation
  return Parse.Cloud.run("dfnsCreateIdentityComplete", {
    walletId: "wallet_123",
    dfns_token: dfnsToken,
    signedChallenge: signedChallenge,
    requestBody: requestBody
  });
}).then(result => {
  console.log("Identity created:", result);
});

// Add a claim topic
Parse.Cloud.run("dfnsAddClaimTopicInit", {
  claimTopic: 1, // e.g., KYC claim
  walletId: "wallet_123",
  dfns_token: dfnsToken
}).then(async ({ challenge, requestBody }) => {
  // Sign the challenge client-side
  const signedChallenge = await signChallenge(challenge);

  // Complete adding claim topic
  return Parse.Cloud.run("dfnsAddClaimTopicComplete", {
    walletId: "wallet_123",
    dfns_token: dfnsToken,
    signedChallenge: signedChallenge,
    requestBody: requestBody
  });
}).then(result => {
  console.log("Claim topic added:", result);
});

Carbon Credit Management¶

// Retire carbon credits
Parse.Cloud.run("dfnsInitRetireCredits", {
  tokenId: "123",
  amount: "50",
  walletId: "wallet_123",
  dfns_token: dfnsToken
}).then(async ({ challenge, requestBody }) => {
  // Sign the challenge client-side
  const signedChallenge = await signChallenge(challenge);

  // Complete retirement
  return Parse.Cloud.run("dfnsCompleteRetireCredits", {
    walletId: "wallet_123",
    dfns_token: dfnsToken,
    signedChallenge: signedChallenge,
    requestBody: requestBody
  });
}).then(result => {
  console.log("Credits retired:", result);
});

Bridge API Integration¶

// Create an external account
Parse.Cloud.run("createExternalAccount", {
  customer_id: "cust_123",
  currency: "usd",
  account_owner_name: "John Doe",
  account_type: "us",
  account: {
    account_number: "123456789",
    routing_number: "123456789",
    checking_or_savings: "checking"
  }
}).then(result => {
  console.log("External account created:", result);
});

// Create a transfer
Parse.Cloud.run("createTransfer", {
  amount: "100.00",
  on_behalf_of: "cust_123",
  source: {
    currency: "usd",
    payment_rail: "ach",
    external_account_id: "ext_acct_123"
  },
  destination: {
    currency: "usdc",
    payment_rail: "ethereum",
    to_address: "0x123..."
  }
}).then(result => {
  console.log("Transfer created:", result);
});

Plaid Integration¶

// Get a Plaid link token
Parse.Cloud.run("getPlaidLinkToken", {
  customerId: "cust_123"
}).then(result => {
  const linkToken = result.link_token;
  // Use linkToken with Plaid Link
});

// Exchange a Plaid public token
Parse.Cloud.run("exchangePlaidPublicToken", {
  customerId: "cust_123",
  linkToken: "link-123",
  publicToken: "public-123"
}).then(result => {
  console.log("Plaid token exchanged:", result);
});

Common Patterns¶

Two-Step Transaction Pattern¶

Most blockchain interactions follow this pattern:

Initialization Step:
Call the *Init function with required parameters
Receive a challenge and request body
Completion Step:
Sign the challenge client-side (typically with WebAuthn)
Call the *Complete function with the signed challenge and request body
Receive transaction result

Error Handling¶

Parse.Cloud.run("someFunction", params)
  .then(result => {
    // Handle success
  })
  .catch(error => {
    // Parse Server error codes
    if (error.code === Parse.Error.VALIDATION_ERROR) {
      console.error("Validation error:", error.message);
    } else if (error.code === Parse.Error.SCRIPT_FAILED) {
      console.error("Script error:", error.message);
    } else {
      console.error("Unknown error:", error);
    }
  });

Important Considerations¶

Authentication: Always ensure users are authenticated before accessing protected endpoints.
DFNS Token Management: Store the DFNS token securely and refresh it when needed.
Transaction Monitoring: Monitor transaction status after submission as blockchain transactions can take time to confirm.
Gas Management: Be mindful of gas costs for transactions, especially for operations like minting tokens.
Error Handling: Implement robust error handling for both client-side and server-side errors.
Idempotency: Use idempotency keys for financial operations to prevent duplicate transactions.
Wallet Address Validation: Validate Ethereum addresses before sending transactions.
Testing: Test all interactions on test networks before moving to production.
