Step 2. Get Familiar with API Endpoints
The Blockdaemon Staking API provides a variety of endpoints for different types of interactions with blockchain networks.
You can learn more about it and find a full list of endpoints in the Staking Reporting API Documentation. Endpoints are used to interact with the blockchain network, such as sending transactions or retrieving data.
Step 3. Test the API
You can test the API by sending a simple API request to the endpoint of your choice. For example, you can send a GET request to retrieve a validator status. The API will return the requested data in JSON format.
An easy way to test the Staking Reporting API is to make a simple Get the Status of a Validator request on the Ethereum network.
Note!
You can use this validator in your request:
