openapi: 3.0.0 info: version: 0.1.86 title: Blockfrost.io ~ API Documentation x-logo: url: https://staging.blockfrost.io/images/logo.svg altText: Blockfrost contact: name: Blockfrost Team url: 'https://blockfrost.io' email: contact@blockfrost.io license: name: MIT url: 'https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT' termsOfService: 'https://blockfrost.io/terms' description: | Blockfrost is an API as a service that allows users to interact with the Cardano blockchain and parts of its ecosystem. ## Tokens After signing up on https://blockfrost.io, a `project_id` token is automatically generated for each project. HTTP header of your request MUST include this `project_id` in order to authenticate against Blockfrost servers. ## Available networks At the moment, you can use the following networks. Please, note that each network has its own `project_id`.
Network Endpoint
Cardano mainnet https://cardano-mainnet.blockfrost.io/api/v0
Cardano preprod https://cardano-preprod.blockfrost.io/api/v0
Cardano preview https://cardano-preview.blockfrost.io/api/v0
InterPlanetary File System https://ipfs.blockfrost.io/api/v0
## Concepts * All endpoints return either a JSON object or an array. * Data is returned in *ascending* (oldest first, newest last) order, if not stated otherwise. * You might use the `?order=desc` query parameter to reverse this order. * By default, we return 100 results at a time. You have to use `?page=2` to list through the results. * All time and timestamp related fields (except `server_time`) are in seconds of UNIX time. * All amounts are returned in Lovelaces, where 1 ADA = 1 000 000 Lovelaces. * Addresses, accounts and pool IDs are in Bech32 format. * All values are case sensitive. * All hex encoded values are lower case. * Examples are not based on real data. Any resemblance to actual events is purely coincidental. * We allow to upload files up to 100MB of size to IPFS. This might increase in the future. * Only pinned IPFS files are counted towards the IPFS quota. * Non-pinned IPFS files are subject to regular garbage collection and will be removed unless pinned. * We allow maximum of 100 queued pins per IPFS user. ## Errors ### HTTP Status codes The following are HTTP status code your application might receive when reaching Blockfrost endpoints and it should handle all of these cases. * HTTP `400` return code is used when the request is not valid. * HTTP `402` return code is used when the projects exceed their daily request limit. * HTTP `403` return code is used when the request is not authenticated. * HTTP `404` return code is used when the resource doesn't exist. * HTTP `418` return code is used when the user has been auto-banned for flooding too much after previously receiving error code `402` or `429`. * HTTP `425` return code is used in Cardano networks, when the user has submitted a transaction when the mempool is already full, not accepting new txs straight away. * HTTP `425` return code is used in IPFS network, when the user has submitted a pin when the pin queue is already full, not accepting new pins straight away. * HTTP `429` return code is used when the user has sent too many requests in a given amount of time and therefore has been rate-limited. * HTTP `500` return code is used when our endpoints are having a problem. ### Error codes An internal error code number is used for better indication of the error in question. It is passed using the following payload. ```json { "status_code": 403, "error": "Forbidden", "message": "Invalid project token." } ``` ## Limits There are two types of limits we are enforcing: The first depends on your plan and is the number of request we allow per day. We defined the day from midnight to midnight of UTC time. The second is rate limiting. We limit an end user, distinguished by IP address, to 10 requests per second. On top of that, we allow each user to send burst of 500 requests, which cools off at rate of 10 requests per second. In essence, a user is allowed to make another whole burst after (currently) 500/10 = 50 seconds. E.g. if a user attempts to make a call 3 seconds after whole burst, 30 requests will be processed. We believe this should be sufficient for most of the use cases. If it is not and you have a specific use case, please get in touch with us, and we will make sure to take it into account as much as we can. ## SDKs We support a number of SDKs that will help you in developing your application on top of Blockfrost.

Blockfrost acts as a proxy for the subset of Mithril API endpoints. The format of the Mithril API may change independently of the core Blockfrost API.** # All Mithril endpoints are accessible under the /mithril path. # > For example, to retrieve a snapshot artifact of the cardano mainnet, you would use: # `https://cardano-mainnet.blockfrost.io/api/v0/mithril/artifact/snapshot/{digest}` # In addition to error responses listed in Mithril endpoints (such as `404`, `412` and `500`), the API may also return error responses related to Blockfrost (e.g. `400` for invalid path or `403` for unauthenticated request).
