Core-level access (Horizon on the roadmap)

What's exposed today is the stellar-core node API — network/ledger status. The richer Horizon REST API (accounts, transactions submission, operations history) that stellar-sdk expects is a separate service we have not shipped yet. Until then treat /xlm as a chain-monitoring endpoint, not an application backend.

Supported endpoints (live-verified)

PathReturns
GET /xlm/infonode status, latest closed ledger, network passphrase, quorum health
GET /xlm/metricsnode metrics
GET /xlm/quorumquorum-set evaluation

Quick test

bash
curl https://rpc.lab.au.ro/xlm/info -H "apikey: $YOUR_API_KEY"
json
{
  "info": {
    "build": "stellar-core 23.0.1",
    "ledger": { "num": 62996970, "version": 23 },
    "network": "Public Global Stellar Network ; September 2015",
    "state": "Synced!"
  }
}

Recipe: chain-height monitor

js
const res = await fetch('https://rpc.lab.au.ro/xlm/info', {
  headers: { apikey: process.env.YOUR_API_KEY }
})
const { info } = await res.json()
console.log('ledger:', info.ledger.num, info.state)

Limitations

  • No Horizon: no account/transaction REST, no stellar-sdk Server class support, no transaction submission via this endpoint today.
  • Horizon deployment is tracked on the roadmap; this page will be upgraded to a full integration guide when it lands.
