Start Building on Stellar
Stellar RPC, full-history Stellar RPC v2 and Horizon from one Node API account, plus white label Stellar validator hosting.
Stellar APIs
Choose the right Stellar API
One Node API account gives you all three. Start new projects on Stellar RPC, the API the Stellar Development Foundation recommends.
Stellar RPC
The recommended API for live Stellar data. Submit and simulate transactions, call smart contracts, read account and contract state, and follow events.
Best for
Wallets, payment apps and smart contract apps that work with current network data.
History
60 days on Pubnet (mainnet), 7 days on Testnet.
Stellar RPC v2 (Beta)
The Stellar Development Foundation's full-history Stellar RPC archive node. The same methods as Stellar RPC, with every Pubnet ledger back to 2015 and a new queryEvents method.
Best for
Looking up transactions and events older than 60 days, backfilling an indexer, and audit or reconciliation work.
History
Full Pubnet history, back to 2015. Pubnet only.
Horizon
Stellar's original REST API for accounts, payments, trades, offers and live streaming. The Stellar Development Foundation plans to retire Horizon in favor of Stellar RPC, so start new projects on Stellar RPC.
Best for
Apps already built on Horizon, and REST-style account and payment history.
History
90 days on Pubnet, 1 year on Pubnet Archive, and full history on Testnet since its last reset.

What is the Stellar Network?
Stellar is a public blockchain purpose-built for regulated finance: issuing assets, moving money and deploying capital. Running since 2014 and secured by the Stellar Consensus Protocol, it settles transactions in seconds for a fraction of a cent, and supports smart contracts for programmable payments and tokenized assets.
