Blockbook explorer & API (blockbook.reddcoin.com)¶
ReddCoin operates a Trezor/SatoshiLabs Blockbook instance that serves as:
- a public block explorer UI
- an indexed API backend for address/tx/block lookups
Explorer: https://blockbook.reddcoin.com/
The team also published a Peers page for network transparency:
Why Blockbook matters¶
Blockbook is an indexer sitting in front of a full node. It maintains an address index and exposes fast queries without requiring each user to run a full chain index locally.
Endpoints you can rely on today¶
The ReddCoin Blockbook instance is known to expose a money-supply endpoint used by external data providers:
- Money supply:
https://blockbook.reddcoin.com/api/moneysupply/
(See also: CoinGecko’s supply references, which link to this endpoint.)
Common Blockbook API v2 patterns (upstream)¶
Most Blockbook instances expose a standardized /api/v2/... REST surface. Typical calls include:
GET /api/v2/address/<address>– balances + transactionsGET /api/v2/tx/<txid>– transaction detailGET /api/v2/block/<hash-or-height>– block detail
Practical note: confirm endpoints against the live instance before depending on them in production, as operators sometimes restrict or proxy routes.
Operational notes¶
- For mission-critical applications, run your own full node and/or your own Blockbook instance.
- Blockbook is a convenience layer; consensus truth is still the chain.
