The Blockchain REST API is the gateway surface for IXO Protocol query access over HTTP. It is a protocol interface, not an application service API.

​
Overview

  • Use this API when your client needs HTTP/JSON access to protocol queries.
  • Use the RPC API for direct node interaction patterns.
  • Use service APIs for IXO Blocksync, IXO Matrix, or Impact Hub Registry workflows.

​
Request model

  1. Client sends HTTP request.
  2. Gateway maps request to gRPC service methods.
  3. Gateway returns JSON response.

​
Example endpoint shapes
