API

Introduction

The Stacks Blockchain API allows you to query the Stacks blockchain and interact with smart contracts. It was built to maintain pageable materialized views of the Stacks Blockchain.

Note that the Stacks Node RPC API and the Hiro Stacks API are two different things. The Hiro API is a centralized service run by Hiro, a developer tooling company, that makes it easy to get onboarded and begin interacting with the Stacks blockchain in a RESTful way. You can also run your own API server.

The Hiro Stacks API is a proxy for the Stacks Node API that makes it a bit easier to work with by providing additional functionality.

The RPC API is generated by every Stacks node and allows developers to self-host their own node and API for a more decentralized architecture.

The RPC API can be used without any authorization. The basepath for the API is:

# for mainnet, replace `testnet` with `mainnet`
https://api.testnet.hiro.so/

If you run a local node, it exposes an HTTP server on port 20443. The info endpoint would be localhost:20443/v2/info.

Stacks Node RPC API endpoints

The Stacks 2.0 Blockchain API (Hiro's API) is centrally hosted. However, every running Stacks node exposes an RPC API, which allows you to interact with the underlying blockchain. Instead of using a centrally hosted API, you can directly access the RPC API of a locally hosted Node.

Broadcast raw transaction

Broadcast raw transactions on the network. You can use the @stacks/transactions project to generate a raw transaction payload.

Contract interface

Get specific data-map inside a contract

Attempt to fetch data from a contract data map. The contract is identified with [Stacks Address] and [Contract Name] in the URL path. The map is identified with [Map Name].

The key to lookup in the map is supplied via the POST body. This should be supplied as the hex string serialization of the key (which should be a Clarity value). Note, this is a JSON string atom.

In the response, data is the hex serialization of the map response. Note that map responses are Clarity option types, for non-existent values, this is a serialized none, and for all other responses, it is a serialized (some ...) object.

Get approximate fees for the given transaction

Get an estimated fee for the supplied transaction. This estimates the execution cost of the transaction, the current fee rate of the network, and returns estimates for fee amounts.

• transaction_payload is a hex-encoded serialization of the TransactionPayload for the transaction.
• estimated_len is an optional argument that provides the endpoint with an estimation of the final length (in bytes) of the transaction, including any post-conditions and signatures

If the node cannot provide an estimate for the transaction (e.g., if the node has never seen a contract-call for the given contract and function) or if estimation is not configured on this node, a 400 response is returned. The 400 response will be a JSON error containing a reason field which can be one of the following:

• DatabaseError - this Stacks node has had an internal database error while trying to estimate the costs of the supplied transaction.
• NoEstimateAvailable - this Stacks node has not seen this kind of contract-call before, and it cannot provide an estimate yet.
• CostEstimationDisabled - this Stacks node does not perform fee or cost estimation, and it cannot respond on this endpoint.

The 200 response contains the following data:

• estimated_cost - the estimated multi-dimensional cost of executing the Clarity VM on the provided transaction.
• estimated_cost_scalar - a unitless integer that the Stacks node uses to compare how much of the block limit is consumed by different transactions. This value incorporates the estimated length of the transaction and the estimated execution cost of the transaction. The range of this integer may vary between different Stacks nodes. In order to compute an estimate of total fee amount for the transaction, this value is multiplied by the same Stacks node's estimated fee rate.
• cost_scalar_change_by_byte - a float value that indicates how much the estimated_cost_scalar value would increase for every additional byte in the final transaction.
• estimations - an array of estimated fee rates and total fees to pay in microSTX for the transaction. This array provides a range of estimates (default: 3) that may be used. Each element of the array contains the following fields:
  • fee_rate - the estimated value for the current fee rates in the network
  • fee - the estimated value for the total fee in microSTX that the given transaction should pay. These values are the result of computing: fee_rate x estimated_cost_scalar. If the estimated fees are less than the minimum relay fee (1 ustx x estimated_len), then that minimum relay fee will be returned here instead.

Note: If the final transaction's byte size is larger than supplied to estimated_len, then applications should increase this fee amount by:

fee_rate x cost_scalar_change_by_byte x (final_size - estimated_size)

Fetch information about evaluated burnchain blocks (i.e., sortitions).

Fetch sortition information about a burnchain block. If the lookup_kind and lookup parameters are empty, it will return information about the latest burn block.

get

/v3/sortitions/{lookup_kind}//{lookup}

Path parameters

lookup_kindstring

The style of lookup that should be performed. If not given, the most recent burn block processed will be returned. Otherwise, the lookup_kind should be one of the following strings:

• consensus - find the burn block using the consensus hash supplied in the lookup field.
• burn_height - find the burn block using the burn block height supplied in the lookup field.
• burn - find the burn block using the burn block hash supplied in the lookup field.
• latest_and_last - return information about the latest burn block with a winning miner and the previous such burn block

lookupstring

The value to use for the lookup if lookup_kind is consensus, burn_height, or burn
