By default, this REST API will listen on `localhost:3413`. This API is started as the same time as the Grin node. This endpoint requires, by default, [Basic Authentication](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication). The username is `grin` and the password can be found in the `.api_secret` file. To learn about what specific calls can be made read the [node API doc](node_api.md).
