Nodes API

This Nodes API reference guide describes the endpoints to access Bloq Nodes services and manage your Bloq Nodes.

TIP

Clusters utilize the same API as Bloq Nodes. To interact with your node clusters, change the /nodes/ path in the API URL to /clusters/.

Jump to:

• DELETE /users/me/nodes/{id}

• GET /chains

• GET /users/me/nodes

• GET /users/me/nodes/{id}

• POST /users/me/nodes

GET /chains

This resource lists the chains and versions available for creating new nodes.
