this is helpful, but it's also basically the same as the api as provided by developer.bitcoin.org, just with less explanation than the website unfortunately. I'm using a few more sites for research too so hopefully i'll figure it out

The best documentation for Bitcoin Core's JSON-RPC interface is arguably the `help` command. For example, to get help on the `getblocktemplate` command, run `help getblocktemplate`.
