The API is built to allow you to create apps or integrations quickly and easily.

This API is organized around REST principles, so if you've interacted with RESTful APIs before, many of the concepts will look familiar.

Request

• Requests with a message body use JSON. Successful requests will return a 2xx HTTP status.

Response

• JSON will be returned for all responses, including errors.

Parameters

• Some endpoints accept optional parameters which can be passed as query string params.
• All parameters are documented along each endpoint.

Complexity

• In order to better optimize the available resources, a complexity evaluation is performed before the execution of every request.

• The maximum complexity available is currently hardcoded at 10000

• When listing entries, every element in the list adds 1 to the complexity, thus making it possible to retrieve a maximum of 10000 elements in list endpoints.

• If some extra info is requested, such as withScResults in the /transactions endpoint, the complexity calculation for the list is overridden with the complexity calculation of the requested field. In this situation, withScResults will multiply the number of items with 200, thus limiting the maximum requested size to 50

• Some fields use the same amount of resources whether one or more of them are requested. In this situation, the fields will be grouped together, regardless whether one or more of the same group are requested. The endpoints /transactions?size=50&withOperations=true will produce the same complexity as /transactions?size=50&withOperations=true&withLogs=true&withScResults=true since they all belong to the group details

Fields

• In order to fetch only specific fields from the response, the fields parameter can be used:
  • /accounts?fields=address,balance for arrays
  • /economics?fields=price,marketCap for object

Extract

• In order to extract a scalar value from an object response, the extract parameter can be used:
  • /economics?extract=price

Cleanup

• If the value of an attribute is undefined, "" (empty string), null, [ ] (empty array) the attribute will be omitted.

Pagination

• Requests that return multiple items will be paginated to 25 items by default.
• For a different number of items or for the next pages ?from= and size= can be used.
