Prerequisites

Before submitting an API request, ensure you have completed the following:
  • Created an Account
  • Created a Project

​
Steps to Submit an API Request

The Blockchain Indexer API allows applications to retrieve on-chain data and submit transactions. In this example, we will use the Pre-Production Cardano network as the selected network for our project.

​
1. Select the Network

  • Ensure your project is configured to use the Pre-Production Cardano network.

​
2. Retrieve Transaction Output

  • Use the following endpoint to get detailed information about a transaction and its output UTxO:
/transactions/{tx_hash}/outputs/{index}/txo

​
3. Specify Path Parameters

  • Include the required path parameters in your request:
ParameterData TypeDescriptionRequired
tx_hashStringThe unique identifier of the transaction.yes
indexIntegerThe output index is specifying which UTxO to retrieve.yes

​
4. Specify Query Parameters (Optional)

  • Include optional query parameters as needed:
ParameterData TypeDescriptionRequired
with_cborBooleanSet to true to include the CBOR encoding of the transaction output in the response.no

​
5. Send the API Request

  • Use cURL or your preferred tool to send the API request:
For this example, we will use:
  • tx_hash: 9907c1bcab96889368d975ec1964e2fedfef22ce4a0e367bf9cb621b9f0dcb4a
  • index: 0
  • with_cbor: true
curl -X GET \
  -H "api-key: <your_project_api_key>" \
  -H 'Accept: application/json' \

​
6. Review the Response

The API will return a response like the following: 
"data": {
    "tx_hash": "9907c1bcab96889368d975ec1964e2fedfef22ce4a0e367bf9cb621b9f0dcb4a",
