Read-only data service

BTC2Scan data API

BTC2Scan uses api.btc2scan.com as the read-only data service behind the official explorer. The endpoint is publicly reachable, but it is rate-limited, CORS-restricted for browser origins, and not offered as a guaranteed third-party developer API or unrestricted RPC gateway.

Base URL api.btc2scan.com Used by BTC2Scan over HTTPS.

Current mode Live RPC layers Address index and supply audit are still pending.

Access model Official-first, rate-limited Official web use is supported; external use is limited and not guaranteed.

Service stability Anti-abuse limits Rate limits help protect the explorer and backend node.

Website data endpoints

These backend routes power the official BTC2Scan website. They are shown for transparency and project status. Light manual access may work, but these routes are not a public developer API commitment.

`GET /api/status`	Live chain height, headers, best block hash, difficulty, sync progress and peer connections.	Live BTC2 node RPC	Website display.
`GET /api/blocks`	Recent blocks with height, hash, tx count, time, difficulty and node-reported money supply.	Live BTC2 node RPC	Website display.
`GET /api/block/:height`	Block lookup by height.	Live BTC2 node RPC	Website display.
`GET /api/block/hash/:hash`	Block lookup by hash.	Live BTC2 node RPC	Website display.
`GET /api/transactions`	Recent transactions derived from the latest blocks.	Live BTC2 node RPC	Website display; not address history.

Pending indexed layers

Address history, address balances, rich list and the final BTC2Scan supply audit require the production indexer and audit jobs. These routes should not be treated as final public data until they are connected and announced.

GET /api/address/:address GET /api/addresses GET /api/rich-list GET /api/supply-audit

Do not treat node-reported money supply as the BTC2Scan supply audit.

Access policy

The data API is primarily maintained for the official BTC2Scan website. Direct manual requests may work, but external access is rate-limited, not guaranteed, and may be restricted if it affects service stability.

Official BTC2Scan web domains are the supported browser consumers.
Non-official browser origins may be blocked by CORS without notice.
Manual or script access may work, but it has no availability guarantee.
Avoid repeated polling loops, scraping, bulk collection and automated load.
Heavy or production third-party use requires prior approval or a dedicated BTC2 node/indexer.
Do not treat the API as direct public RPC access.
