RESTΒΆ

The Koinos REST API provides a clean and simple way of interacting with the Koinos blockchain using standard HTTP methods. The API automatically handles de/serializations when interacting with smart contracts. It can also help with preparing and submitting a transaction.

You can view the REST documentation to learn more.

Public REST endpoints are available at:

  • mainnet: https://api.koinos.io/v1/...
  • public testnet: https://testnet.koinosfoundation.org/v1/...

Preparing a transaction does not sign it. Submitting a transaction requires the necessary signatures, which must be produced by a Koinos-compatible wallet, SDK, or signing service.

The REST API is also available on KoinosPro and through a node you operate. See Running a Koinos node and Docker Compose profiles for the relevant services.
