Command-Line Tool

Use the command line tool named - surprise, surpirse - ordserve to run a zero-config / out-of-the-box ordinal inscription server that lets you test recursive inscriptions with local web pages (in .SVG or .HTML). Type:

$ ordserve

That will start-up a (local loopback) web server running on port 3000. Open-up up the index page in your browser to get started e.g. http://localhost:3000/.

Try your first recursive inscription. Let's try a punk in the .SVG format with two recursions - alien (inscribe no. 11617799) and bandana (inscribe no. 11627632) - punk1.svg:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
   width="100%" height="100%"
   viewBox="0 0 24 24">
  <image href="/content/81ec4177e7fce4e568cc1c14366fe29deb88b0f0841eb12d4f1d0638cca68201i0" 
     style="image-rendering: pixelated;" />
  <image href="/content/a6b4b81f69e8c217db24f0a71954195d67ced49a819b67a4daf9f3ca7fa1b971i0" 
     style="image-rendering: pixelated;" />
</svg>

Now try http://localhost:3000/punks1.svg and you get the million dollar alien with bandana built from zero / scratch. The two recursions (referenced via /content/:id) will get the first-time "automagically" downloaded via the ordinals.com api and saved into the local ./content directory.

Let's try a punk with three recursions - alien (inscribe no. 11617799), cap foward (inscribe no. 11617793) and laser eyes (inscribe no. 12359718)- punk1a.svg:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
   width="100%" height="100%"
   viewBox="0 0 24 24">
  <image href="/content/81ec4177e7fce4e568cc1c14366fe29deb88b0f0841eb12d4f1d0638cca68201i0" 
     style="image-rendering: pixelated;" />
  <image href="/content/0bd902941392ea138adb7db30cecdf5bc09a92c80e3e1bc3ecdf3c2d0abf6631i0" 
     style="image-rendering: pixelated;" />
  <image href="/content/72fe7ebda802852f499dca865ec22ac43eacfcf4796d761969ae8358791e943ci0" 
     style="image-rendering: pixelated;" />
</svg>

Now try http://localhost:3000/punks1a.svg and you get an ultra-rare never-before-seen alien with cap foward and laser eyes built from zero / scratch. The three recursions (referenced via /content/:id) will get the first-time "automagically" downloaded via the ordinals.com api and saved into ./content.

That's it.
