name: Filecoin description: > Filecoin is the world's largest decentralized storage network, providing cryptographically verifiable storage backed by a global network of storage providers. Developers can query storage deals, retrieval markets, miners, blocks, and Filecoin+ verified storage operations through the Glif-hosted Lotus JSON-RPC API and the Filecoin HTTP REST API. The network also exposes protocol-level actors (Miner, Market, Datacap, Verified Registry, Storage Power) through built-in actor methods, and offers high-level storage onramps such as Filecoin Onchain Cloud (Synapse SDK) and S3-compatible Fil One storage. image: https://filecoin.io/favicon.ico tags: - Decentralized Storage - Web3 - IPFS - Blockchain - Storage Deals - Filecoin+ - FVM url: https://filecoin.io/ apis: - name: Filecoin Glif Lotus JSON-RPC API description: > Public, load-balanced Lotus node endpoint hosted by Glif providing read-only access to the Filecoin mainnet JSON-RPC API, including all Filecoin and Ethereum-compatible RPC methods. Supports MPoolPush and EthSendRawTransaction for broadcasting pre-signed transactions. Limited to the most recent 2 000 blocks on the public endpoint; archival access requires a dedicated node. image: https://filecoin.io/favicon.ico humanURL: https://docs.filecoin.io/networks-and-tools/networks/mainnet/rpcs baseURL: https://api.node.glif.io/rpc/v1 tags: - JSON-RPC - Lotus - Mainnet - Blockchain - Storage Deals - Miners properties: - type: Documentation url: https://docs.filecoin.io/reference/general - type: RPC-Providers url: https://docs.filecoin.io/networks-and-tools/networks/mainnet/rpcs - type: WebSocket url: wss://wss.node.glif.io/apigw/lotus/rpc/v1 contact: - FN: Glif Nodes url: https://github.com/glifio x-apis-io-info: type: JSON-RPC version: v1 network: mainnet - name: Filecoin Calibration Testnet Glif API description: > Glif-hosted public Lotus node endpoint for the Filecoin Calibration testnet.
