Helium

API

API for Helium's decentralized wireless blockchain network data

Overview

The Helium Blockchain API provides RESTful access to data from Helium’s global distributed wireless network, including Hotspot details, transaction records, block history, IoT device activity, and reward distributions. Responses are in JSON format, supporting use cases like building Hotspot performance trackers, network coverage analyzers, IoT transmission monitors, or integrating blockchain data into third-party apps. Endpoints cover core functions such as retrieving block details, querying account balances, and accessing Hotspot status updates, enabling developers to leverage Helium’s network data efficiently.
