Authentication

Pass your API token in as the Token header, like in this curl example:

$ curl -H "Token: secret-api-token" 'https://www.validators.app/api/v1/ping.json'

Requests Limits:

Requests limit to our API is 60 or 30 requests per 5 minutes, depending on the endpoint. Higher limit is available for data that changes more often: Ping Thing, Ping Thing Stats and Commission Changes endpoints.

After exceeding the limit, your will get 429 Too Many Requests error.

Limits are automatically reset after 5 minutes. See RateLimit-Reset header to check how much time is left (in seconds) until the limit resets.

NOTES:

Active stake is shown in Lamports.

Commision is shown in percent. e.g. 10%.

Our database uses null values when there is no data. You should expect to see `null` as a possible return value for any attribute. If an attribute is missing from the output, then you can also assume the value is null.

Besides JSON format, our API provides CSV format as well. For this case please change .json suffix into .csv in url when making up a request call. E.g: 'https://www.validators.app/api/v1/ping.csv'.

Version 1 of this API is still in development. Check back here to see updates!
