Litecoin Core is a bitcoind fork — everything on the Bitcoin page applies verbatim with the /ltc path: same methods (getblockchaininfo, getblockcount, getblockhash, getrawtransaction, estimatesmartfee, sendrawtransaction, …), same 10-line JSON-RPC helper, same offline-signing flow (bitcoinjs-lib with Litecoin network parameters).
Quick test
bash
curl -X POST https://rpc.lab.au.ro/ltc \
-H "apikey: $YOUR_API_KEY" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"1.0","id":1,"method":"getblockchaininfo","params":[]}'Litecoin-specific notes
- MWEB (MimbleWimble Extension Blocks) data appears in block/tx decodes as
mweb-prefixed fields; standard UTXO queries are unaffected. - bitcoinjs-lib needs Litecoin network constants (
{ messagePrefix, bech32: 'ltc', pubKeyHash: 0x30, scriptHash: 0x32, wif: 0xb0 }) — pass them as thenetworkargument.
Limitations
Same as Bitcoin: no wallet RPCs, no address index.
