Solana explorer

The same data as the Explorer pages, as JSON. Every explorer route is free.

15 routes, all under /explorer. Every path below is served under https://api.scanner.net, and every request carries the key header, so those two are not repeated per route. Shared errors, limits and response formats are in Requests and errors.

• Response shape: every route returns { "success": true, "data": ... }. The response sections below describe data.
• Per-IP limit: explorer routes allow 60 requests per minute per client IP, on top of the key limit. See Per-IP limits.
• Filters: an invalid filter value is ignored, not refused. An invalid before cursor starts again from the first page.
• Route errors: besides the errors below, any explorer route can return 504 TIMEOUT when the upstream data provider times out.

Transaction

GET /explorer/tx/{signature}

One transaction, parsed and labelled.

curl "https://api.scanner.net/explorer/tx/SIGNATURE" \
  -H "x-api-key: $SCANNER_API_KEY"

Response: an ExplorerTransactionDetail. Key fields: signature, slot, blockTime (unix seconds, or null), status (success or fail), error, fee and priorityFee (lamports), signers, enhanced (the decoded description, or null), instructions, logMessages, balanceChanges, tokens (metadata by mint) and identities (labels by address).

Address

GET /explorer/address/{address}

A summary of any Solana address.

curl "https://api.scanner.net/explorer/address/WALLET_ADDRESS" \
  -H "x-api-key: $SCANNER_API_KEY"

Response: an ExplorerAddressSummary: address, solBalance (lamports), detection (isToken, isContract, isWallet, isPool, owner), domains, identity when labelled, cachedScan (available, scannedAt, scanId) and txCount (value, and exact: false from 1,000 up). An address with no activity still returns a summary.

Address transactions

GET /explorer/address/{address}/txs

An address's transactions, newest first by default.

curl "https://api.scanner.net/explorer/address/WALLET_ADDRESS/txs?limit=50&type=SWAP" \
  -H "x-api-key: $SCANNER_API_KEY"

Response: transactions (each with signature, type, source, slot, timestamp, description, fee, feePayer, transactionError, nativeTransfers and tokenTransfers), nextBefore (cursor, or null at the end) and stillMore. A filtered page can be shorter than limit with stillMore: true; keep paging. With sort=asc the response adds nextOffset and oldestAvailable.

Oldest-first walks of addresses that aren't cached yet are limited to a few per IP every 10 minutes. Past that, the route returns an empty page with oldestAvailable: false rather than an error. oldestAvailable: false also means the history is too long to walk from the start.

Address transfers

GET /explorer/address/{address}/transfers

SOL and token transfers in and out of an address, newest first.

curl "https://api.scanner.net/explorer/address/WALLET_ADDRESS/transfers?direction=in&mint=MINT_ADDRESS" \
  -H "x-api-key: $SCANNER_API_KEY"

Response: transfers (each with signature, blockTime, slot, mint, amount in token units, usdValue, from, to, direction (in, out or self), source and txType), nextBefore, stillMore, tokens and identities. Pages end on a transaction boundary, so a page can hold slightly more than limit rows.

Address origin

GET /explorer/address/{address}/origin

Where an address's money came from: its funding chain, walked back to the first labelled entity, up to 20 hops. A trace that isn't cached can take 5 to 15 seconds.

curl "https://api.scanner.net/explorer/address/WALLET_ADDRESS/origin" \
  -H "x-api-key: $SCANNER_API_KEY"

Response: an ExplorerAddressOrigin: address, status (ok, no_origin, not_wallet, is_entity or unavailable), directFunder, origin, hops, terminalReason (labeled, depth, loop or no_funder), cached and tracedAt.

Cached origins are always served. New traces are limited to a few per IP every 10 minutes.

Cached origins

POST /explorer/origins

Cached funder and origin labels for up to 30 addresses at once. It reads only what is already cached and never starts a trace.

curl -X POST "https://api.scanner.net/explorer/origins" \
  -H "x-api-key: $SCANNER_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"addresses":["WALLET_ADDRESS"]}'

Response: { "origins": { "<address>": { "address", "funder", "funderEntity", "origin" } } }. Addresses with nothing cached are left out.

Token

GET /explorer/token/{mint}

A token's metadata, market stats, security flags, pools and top holders.

curl "https://api.scanner.net/explorer/token/MINT_ADDRESS" \
  -H "x-api-key: $SCANNER_API_KEY"

Response: an ExplorerTokenOverview: mint, metadata (symbol, name, decimals, supply, logoUri, links), stats (priceUsd, marketCap, fdv, liquidityUsd, volume24h, priceChange24h, holderCount), security (mint and freeze authority, Token-2022 extensions, riskScore, risks, top10HolderPct), pools, creator, createdAt (unix milliseconds), launchpad, topHolders (up to 100) and cachedContractScan. Fields Scanner has no data for are left out.

Token transfers

GET /explorer/token/{mint}/transfers

Transfers of one token, newest first.

curl "https://api.scanner.net/explorer/token/MINT_ADDRESS/transfers?amount=1000-" \
  -H "x-api-key: $SCANNER_API_KEY"

Response: the same shape as Address transfers.

Token trades

GET /explorer/token/{mint}/trades

Buys and sells of a token, about 50 per page.

curl "https://api.scanner.net/explorer/token/MINT_ADDRESS/trades?side=buy&minUsd=1000" \
  -H "x-api-key: $SCANNER_API_KEY"

Response: trades (each with signature, wallet, type, amountToken, amountUsd, priceUsd and time in unix milliseconds), nextCursor and stillMore.

Token chart

GET /explorer/token/{mint}/chart

Price candles for a token.

curl "https://api.scanner.net/explorer/token/MINT_ADDRESS/chart?interval=1h" \
  -H "x-api-key: $SCANNER_API_KEY"

Response: { "interval": "1h", "points": [{ "t", "open", "high", "low", "close", "volume" }] }, with t in unix seconds.

Block

GET /explorer/block/{slot}

A block, with one page of its transactions and stats over the whole block.

curl "https://api.scanner.net/explorer/block/SLOT?pageSize=50&sort=priorityFee" \
  -H "x-api-key: $SCANNER_API_KEY"

Response: an ExplorerBlockDetail: slot, blockhash, parentSlot, blockTime, blockHeight, txCount, transactions (this page), filteredCount, page, pageSize, totalPages, stats (whole block), chart (one row for every transaction in the block, so it can be large) and identities.

Network

GET /explorer/network

Current Solana network stats. No parameters.

curl "https://api.scanner.net/explorer/network" \
  -H "x-api-key: $SCANNER_API_KEY"

Response: slot, blockHeight, epoch, epochProgressPct, epochSlotsRemaining, tps, solPriceUsd, recentBlocks and history (recent snapshots).

Live blocks and activity

GET /explorer/network/blocks
GET /explorer/network/activity

The latest blocks, and the latest blocks with recent transactions. No parameters. Responses aren't cached.

curl "https://api.scanner.net/explorer/network/activity" \
  -H "x-api-key: $SCANNER_API_KEY"

Response: /network/blocks returns a list of { slot, blockHeight, blockTime, txCount }. /network/activity returns { blocks, transactions }.

Resolve a search

GET /explorer/resolve

Works out what a search string is, the way the explorer search box does.

curl "https://api.scanner.net/explorer/resolve?q=WALLET_ADDRESS" \
  -H "x-api-key: $SCANNER_API_KEY"

Response: { "kind", "value" }. kind is block, tx, address, token, partial (a truncated address; look it up with the wallet finder) or unknown. A .sol domain resolves to its address.
