API Overview

Query the Stacks blockchain with the Stacks Blockchain API.

The Stacks Blockchain API expands the intentionally minimal RPC endpoints available in Stacks nodes and indexes, cleans, and enriches on-chain data to put everything you need at your fingertips. Who knew getting reliable blockchain data could be this easy?

RPC endpoints

If you're looking for direct access to the Stacks node, including the ability to broadcast transactions and interact with smart contracts, check out our Stacks Node RPC documentation.

Get recent transactions
