Esplora HTTP API

Esplora is an open-source block explorer and RESTful HTTP API for the Bitcoin blockchain, built by Blockstream.

Validation Cloud Bitcoin nodes support the Esplora RESTful HTTP API for querying Bitcoin blockchain data, including blocks, addresses, transactions, UTXOs, and mempool information.

Developers can use Esplora as a backend to interact with Bitcoin data without needing to parse raw blockchain files or operate their own full indexing logic. Applications such as wallets, analytics platforms, and dashboards integrate Esplora to fetch real-time chain data efficiently.

Amounts returned in API calls are always represented in satoshis.
