About Keyhole Fabric API Gateway
The Keyhole Fabric API Gateway is an open-source tool that uses an API gateway implementation to provide access to Hyperledger Fabric (HLF) blockchain networks and its data. The gateway provides RESTful HTTP-based endpoints that access HLF network peers using the FABRIC-NODE-SDK. It is implemented with Node.js and uses the Express framework. Two types of API authentication validation schemes can be applied: token-based or session-based. Example implementations are provided for both.
