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/transactions
curl, you can make a request like this:
curl -X GET "https://mainnet.mirrornode.hedera.com/api/v1/transactions" -H "Accept: application/json"
