Stacks Core RPC Overview
Query the Stacks core RPC API, interact with smart contracts, and broadcast transactions all via a familiar REST interface.
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?
