The Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) maintains the core protocol and the Horizon REST API, which provides HTTP access to ledger data including accounts, transactions, operations, effects, offers, trades, claimable balances, and liquidity pools. Horizon is the primary data gateway for the Stellar network, re-serving ledger data in a developer-friendly format. The network supports native XLM transfers, custom asset issuance, a built-in decentralized exchange (DEX), Soroban smart contracts, and anchor integrations for fiat on/off-ramps. Authentication is not required for read queries; transaction submission requires signing with a Stellar keypair. apis: - aid: stellar:horizon-api name: Stellar Horizon API tags: - Accounts - Assets - Blockchain - Claimable Balances - DEX - Effects - Ledger - Liquidity Pools - Offers - Operations - Payments - Trades - Transactions image: https://kinlane-productions2.s3.amazonaws.com/apis-json/apis-json-logo.jpg baseURL: https://horizon.stellar.org humanURL: https://developers.stellar.org/docs/data/apis/horizon properties: - url: https://developers.stellar.org/docs/data/apis/horizon type: Documentation - url: https://developers.stellar.org/docs/data/apis/horizon/api-reference type: APIReference - url: https://developers.stellar.org/docs/tools/sdks/client-sdks type: SDKs - url: https://github.com/stellar/go/tree/master/services/horizon type: GitHubRepository - url: openapi/stellar-horizon-api.yml type: OpenAPI - url: rate-limits/stellar-rate-limits.yml type: RateLimits - url: plans/stellar-plans-pricing.yml type: Plans - url: finops/stellar-finops.yml type: FinOps description: >- The Stellar Horizon API is an HTTP REST interface to the Stellar network, providing developer-friendly access to the full ledger data set. It exposes endpoints for querying accounts, transactions, operations, effects, ledgers, offers, trades, claimable balances, liquidity pools, assets, and order books. Horizon also supports submitting new transactions to the network and finding payment paths between assets. The public SDF-hosted instance is available at https://horizon.stellar.org for mainnet and https://horizon-testnet.stellar.org for testnet. No API key is required for read-only queries; transaction submission requires a signed XDR envelope. x-features: - No authentication required for read-only queries - Cursor-based pagination with configurable limit and order - SSE (Server-Sent Events) streaming for real-time ledger data - Transaction submission via POST /transactions - Built-in DEX order book and trade history - Path payment route discovery via /paths endpoints - Testnet and mainnet instances hosted by SDF x-use-cases: - Query account balances, trustlines, and data entries - Retrieve full transaction and operation history for an account - Stream real-time effects and payment events via SSE - Submit signed transactions to the Stellar network - Access DEX order books, active offers, and trade history - Discover optimal payment paths between Stellar assets - Monitor claimable balances and liquidity pool reserves - aid: stellar:stellar-rpc-api name: Stellar RPC API tags: - Blockchain - Smart Contracts - Soroban - RPC - Web3 image: https://kinlane-productions2.s3.amazonaws.com/apis-json/apis-json-logo.jpg baseURL: https://soroban-testnet.stellar.org humanURL: https://developers.stellar.org/docs/data/rpc properties: - url: https://developers.stellar.org/docs/data/rpc type: Documentation - url: https://developers.stellar.org/docs/data/rpc/api-reference type: APIReference - url: https://developers.stellar.org/docs/tools/sdks/client-sdks type: SDKs description: >- The Stellar RPC API (formerly Soroban RPC) is a JSON-RPC interface for interacting with Soroban smart contracts deployed on the Stellar network.
