# Algorand via Indexer API

**Step 1:** To access Algorand, use the native access endpoint with `/indexer` at the end:

* **Network:** Algorand Mainnet
* **Request Type:** GET

```
https://svc.blockdaemon.com/algorand/mainnet/native/indexer
```

**Step 2:** Authenticate your request using your API key. You can include the API key using either of the following headers:

```curl Bearer Token
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
```

```curl X-API-Key
X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY
```

**Step 3:** Add an Algorand method at the end of the query:

```
https://svc.blockdaemon.com/algorand/mainnet/native/indexer/YOUR_METHOD
```

**Step 4:** For POST requests, specify the data required by the method in the request body.

## Example Request for Indexer API

Here is a cURL example for using **[GET /health](https://developer.algorand.org/docs/rest-apis/indexer/#get-health)** to get the status information of Algorand Mainnet:

```curl
curl -X \
GET https://svc.blockdaemon.com/algorand/mainnet/native/indexer/health \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'
```

The following is a typical response you will get:

        "migration-required": false,
        "read-only-mode": true
    },
