Mirror Node REST API
The mirror node REST API offers the ability to query transaction information.
Overview
The Hedera Mirror Node REST API enables developers to access historical transaction data from Hedera's mainnet, testnet, and previewnet. Each transaction generates a record stored in a record file, which can be accessed via the Mirror Node REST APIs.
Making a Request
To make a request, use the network endpoint and the REST API of choice.
For example, To get a list of transactions on the Hedera mainnet, use the following API endpoint:
https://mainnet.mirrornode.hedera.com/api/v1/transactionsThis will return a JSON response containing transaction details such as transaction ID, timestamps, and fees.
If you are using curl, you can make a request like this:
curl -X GET "https://mainnet.mirrornode.hedera.com/api/v1/transactions" -H "Accept: application/json"Hedera Mirror Node Swagger UI Environments
Hedera provides interactive Swagger UI for its Mirror Node REST API. Developers can use these environments to explore available endpoints, check request parameters, and test API calls without writing code.
Available Environments:
