<p>I originally created my wallet through the blockchain.info api.  I have since downloaded the bitcoin core and it's finishing downloading all the blocks now.  What is the process to access this wallet directly?  Also, is this a one way transfer, or will it still be usable through the blockchain.info api?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

I originally created my wallet through the blockchain.info api. I have since downloaded the bitcoin core and it's finishing downloading all the blocks now. What is the process to access this wallet directly? Also, is this a one way transfer, or will it still be usable through the blockchain.info api?

Thanks.
