Node API

The Blockcore node software exposes a few ports for different usages.

There are three APIs available that can be consumed on a Blockcore based node, they are RPC, REST and Web Socket based.

BEWARE: You should normally never expose these APIs to the public, they should be protected behind firewall.

RPC API

The RPC API is mainted to be compatible with Bitcoin Core and other chains that are forks or modifications of the original Bitcoin source code.

REST API

The REST API has more functionality and is continuously improved upon.

You can use the OpenAPI documentation to investigate what functionality is available in the API.
