Lightning Network API

healthy 3,904 Subscribers

Live data for Bitcoin's Lightning Network — the instant-payment layer on top of Bitcoin — served straight from mempool.space's public API, no key, nothing cached. The stats endpoint returns the state of the whole network: how many nodes and payment channels exist, the total capacity locked in Bitcoin, the average and median channel capacity, the average fee rate, and the split between clearnet and Tor nodes — the network runs tens of thousands of channels holding thousands of BTC. The top endpoint is the node league table, ranked by liquidity (capacity) or by connectivity (channel count), with each node's alias, capacity and channel count — Bitfinex and Binance run some of the largest routing nodes. The search endpoint finds nodes by alias and returns their public key, capacity and channel count. This is the routing-and-liquidity layer for any Lightning wallet, node operator, payment or analytics app — who the big routing nodes are and how much capacity the network holds. Live from mempool.space, nothing stored. Distinct from on-chain Bitcoin and fee APIs — this is the Lightning Network layer. 4 endpoints.

Crypto Treasury API

Live data on the public companies that hold Bitcoin and Ethereum on their balance sheets, from the public CoinGecko feed. Rank every public company by how much of the coin it holds, with current and entry value, average entry price, country and share of total supply; get the aggregate corporate holdings, USD value and market-cap dominance; find a specific holder by name, ticker or country; and compare Bitcoin and Ethereum corporate treasuries side by side. The corporate crypto-treasury layer — distinct from price and exchange feeds: it answers who holds how much, and what they paid. Live, with a short 60-second upstream cache.

Yadio Real FX API

Live "real" market exchange rates derived from local cryptocurrency (BTC/USDT) trading. Because they are implied by where people actually buy and sell crypto, these rates track the true street/parallel value of a currency — for stressed currencies (Argentine peso, Nigerian naira, Venezuelan bolívar, Lebanese pound …) this is far from the official rate. The rates endpoint returns one base currency against ~130 currencies plus the BTC price; the convert endpoint converts any amount between two currencies; the btc endpoint returns the BTC price in a chosen currency (the crypto bridge that powers every rate); the currencies endpoint lists every supported currency. Read live, nothing stored. This is a global crypto-implied real-rate layer — distinct from official ECB/central-bank rate feeds and from single-country parallel-dollar APIs.

Bitcoin Stats API

Live Bitcoin on-chain economics and network-activity statistics, built on the open blockchain.com dataset — the macro on-chain layer, not raw address or mempool lookups: a live network snapshot (24h transaction count and USD volume, hash rate, market price and cap, total mined supply, miners' revenue), the historical time series of any curated on-chain metric (active addresses, transaction volume, UTXO-set size, mempool size, miner revenue, fees and more), the catalog of available metrics, and Bitcoin's issuance state (total mined, share of the 21M cap, current block reward and estimated next halving).

Bitcoin Mining API

Live Bitcoin mining and hashrate analytics, built on the open mempool.space dataset — the mining layer, not address or mempool data: the mining-pool dominance ranking by share of blocks mined over a period, the current network hashrate and difficulty plus their history, the history of difficulty adjustments with each retarget's percentage change, and block-reward economics over the last N blocks (total and average reward, fees and transactions).
