Get Started

The Blockdaemon Staking Reporting API provides developers access to various staking information across blockchain protocols. The API lets you access data, including validator status, rewards, and activity.

Follow the steps below to get started with the Staking API for free today.

Step 1. Sign Up for an API Key

To use the Blockdaemon Staking API, you must sign up for an API key. To do this, visit the Blockdaemon website and create an account.

Once you have an account, you can access your API key from the dashboard.

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.
