name: Litecoin description: Litecoin is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency network based on the Bitcoin protocol, offering faster block times (2.5 minutes) and lower transaction fees. It exposes a JSON-RPC interface via Litecoin Core for direct node interaction, a built-in unauthenticated REST interface for public blockchain queries, and a Litecoin Space block explorer REST and WebSocket API (mempool.space-compatible) for querying transactions, addresses, blocks, UTXO data, mempool state, and fee estimates. image: https://kinlane-productions.s3.amazonaws.com/apis-json/apis-json-logo.jpg tags: - Cryptocurrency - Blockchain - Litecoin - LTC - Payments - Decentralized Finance - Block Explorer - JSON-RPC url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/litecoin/refs/heads/main/apis.yml created: '2026-06-14' modified: '2026-06-14' specificationVersion: '0.19' apis: - name: Litecoin Core JSON-RPC API description: The primary programmatic interface to a Litecoin Core node. Clients send HTTP POST requests with JSON-RPC 2.0 payloads to interact with the node. Methods cover blockchain state, block and transaction retrieval, mempool inspection, network peers, mining, UTXO queries, address validation, raw transaction construction and broadcast, and fee estimation. The daemon listens on port 9332 (mainnet), 19332 (testnet), and 19443 (regtest). Authentication is required via cookie file or rpcauth credentials. image: https://kinlane-productions.s3.amazonaws.com/apis-json/apis-json-logo.jpg humanURL: https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/blob/master/doc/JSON-RPC-interface.md baseURL: http://localhost:9332 tags: - JSON-RPC - Blockchain - Litecoin Core - Node - Transactions - Blocks - Mempool - UTXO - Mining properties: - type: Documentation url: https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/blob/master/doc/JSON-RPC-interface.md - type: OpenAPI url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/litecoin/refs/heads/main/openapi/litecoin-core-json-rpc.yml - type: Plans url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/litecoin/refs/heads/main/plans/litecoin-core-json-rpc.yml - type: RateLimits url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/litecoin/refs/heads/main/rate-limits/litecoin-core-json-rpc.yml - type: FinOps url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/litecoin/refs/heads/main/finops/litecoin-core-json-rpc.yml contact: - FN: Litecoin Project url: https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin meta: - name: score value: 0 - name: Litecoin Core REST API description: An unauthenticated, read-only HTTP REST interface built into Litecoin Core and enabled with the -rest flag.
