MAINNET / Blockbook 0.5.0 > 0.6.0 API CHANGES / Modified methods

BlockBook

Get address/account details.

GET

https://ethw-blockbook.nownodes.io/api/v2/address/{address}

Authorizations

ApiKeyAuthApiKeyAuth

api-key string

NOWNodes API key passed in the api-key header.

Modified between 0.5.0 and 0.6.0: improved unconfirmed balance reporting (PR #1142) - unconfirmedBalance and unconfirmedTxs are serialized (live-verified on the deployed build: present at details=basic as "0"/0); optional protocols=erc4626 enrichment parameter for EVM chains (PR #1431); REST traffic is rate limited per client (PRs #1563/#1590, default 20 req/min burst 20). Documented as it exists in 0.6.0.

Returns balances and transactions of an address. Transactions are sorted by block height with newest blocks first. Response size is controlled by the details parameter.

At details=basic, mempool transactions are not aggregated: unconfirmedBalance, unconfirmedSending, and unconfirmedReceiving are omitted, and unconfirmedTxs reports the raw mempool index size for the address.

Load estimate: Variable; basic is low, token/tokenBalances and txids/txslight are medium, and txs can be high as it grows with pageSize, transactions, token rows, filters, and protocol enrichment.

live-verified behavior:

Live: unconfirmedBalance ("0") and unconfirmedTxs (0) are present at details=basic on the deployed build.

Parameters

Authorizations

ApiKeyAuthApiKeyAuth

api-key string

NOWNodes API key passed in the api-key header.

Modified between 0.5.0 and 0.6.0: balance-history queries are bounded per transport as part of the rate-limiting work (PR #1563); batch fiat lookups are capped at 1000 timestamps (PR #1520). Documented as it exists in 0.6.0.

Returns balance history points for an address, XPUB, or descriptor. from and to are Unix timestamps. groupBy is an aggregation interval in seconds and defaults to 3600. When fiatcurrency is omitted, rates can contain all available currencies. sentToSelf is the amount sent from an address to itself or within addresses of the same XPUB.

Load estimate: High; grows with account transaction history, time span, grouping cardinality, fiat rate lookups, and XPUB/descriptor gap.

Parameters

descriptorstringrequiredpath

Address, XPUB, or supported descriptor. URL-encode descriptors.

frominteger<int64>query

Unix timestamp lower bound.

tointeger<int64>query

Method Not Allowed

Get current or historical fiat rates.

GET

https://ethw-blockbook.nownodes.io/api/v2/tickers

Authorizations

ApiKeyAuthApiKeyAuth

api-key string

NOWNodes API key passed in the api-key header.

Modified between 0.5.0 and 0.6.0: fiat-rate currency selectors are bounded (PR #1582); CoinGecko fetching hardened against 429 throttling with a self-healing pass for missing daily rates (PR #1560) - availability of rates improves, response shape is unchanged. Documented as it exists in 0.6.0.

Returns currency rates for the requested currency and date. If a rate is unavailable for the exact timestamp, the closest available rate can be returned. Responses include the actual rate timestamp. Without a currency parameter, all available currencies can be returned. A rate of -1 marks an unavailable or invalid currency for that timestamp.

Load estimate: Low to medium; specific currency lookups are cheap, while omitted currency and token lookups increase response size.

live-verified behavior:

Live: fiat tickers are disabled on the ETHW instance; the endpoint answers HTTP 400 {"error":"No tickers found!"}.

Parameters

currencystringquery

Optional currency code. When omitted, all available rates can be returned.

timestampinteger<int64>query

Unix timestamp for historical rates.

blockstringquery

Block height or hash whose timestamp should be used for historical rates.

tokenstringquery

Optional token symbol or contract/address key for token-specific rates.

Response

200OK

HTTP 200 EthereumPoW Blockbook response for getFiatTicker.

400Bad Request

Domain or validation error. live-verified: JSON body {"error": "..."} (unknown block/transaction, invalid address, malformed broadcast hex, missing filter parameters).

401Unauthorized

Unauthorized: missing or invalid api-key header. The NOWNodes gateway returns the plain-text body "Unknown API_key".

405Method Not Allowed

Method Not Allowed: gateway-level response for unknown routes (and for the v1 GET broadcast route on this instance).

500Internal Server Error

Internal Server Error. live-verified on the deployed instance: JSON body {"error":"Internal server error"} (observed on /api/rawtx and invalid XPUB lookups).

GET

https://ethw-blockbook.nownodes.io/api/v2/sendtx/{hex}

Authorizations

ApiKeyAuthApiKeyAuth

api-key string

NOWNodes API key passed in the api-key header.

Modified between 0.5.0 and 0.6.0: request-size hardening limits the broadcast body size (PR #1434); the backend can relay broadcasts through an alternative (e.g. private/MEV) provider (PR #1264); per-client REST rate limiting (PRs #1563/#1590). Documented as it exists in 0.6.0.

Broadcasts hex-encoded raw transaction data. Prefer POST for large payloads.

Load estimate: High; validates and forwards to the backend, with cost growing with transaction size and backend mempool policy checks.

live-verified behavior:

Write operation. Live-validated scenario (payload without 0x prefix): HTTP 400 EVM-flavored error (hexutil.Bytes). Success scenario not executed intentionally.

Parameters

hexstringrequiredpath

Raw transaction.

Response

400Bad Request

401Unauthorized

405Method Not Allowed

Method Not Allowed: gateway-level response for unknown routes (and for the v1 GET broadcast route on this instance).

500Internal Server Error

Internal Server Error. live-verified on the deployed instance: JSON body {"error":"Internal server error"} (observed on /api/rawtx and invalid XPUB lookups).

Broadcast a raw transaction using the request body.

POST

Authorizations

ApiKeyAuthApiKeyAuth

api-key string

NOWNodes API key passed in the api-key header.

Modified between 0.5.0 and 0.6.0: POST body size limited (PR #1434); alternative broadcast provider support server-side (PR #1264); per-client rate limiting (PRs #1563/#1590). Documented as it exists in 0.6.0.

Broadcasts hex-encoded raw transaction data from the request body. The trailing slash is mandatory in the Blockbook handler. POST bodies are limited to 8 MiB.

Load estimate: High; validates and forwards to the backend, with cost growing with transaction size and backend mempool policy checks.

live-verified behavior:

Write operation. Live-validated scenario (payload without 0x prefix in the body): HTTP 400 EVM-flavored error (hexutil.Bytes). Success scenario not executed intentionally.

Body

text/plain

string

Response

200OK

HTTP 200 EthereumPoW Blockbook response for sendTransactionByPost.

400Bad Request

Domain or validation error. live-verified: JSON body {"error": "..."} (unknown block/transaction, invalid address, malformed broadcast hex, missing filter parameters).

401Unauthorized

Unauthorized: missing or invalid api-key header. The NOWNodes gateway returns the plain-text body "Unknown API_key".

405Method Not Allowed

Method Not Allowed: gateway-level response for unknown routes (and for the v1 GET broadcast route on this instance).

500Internal Server Error

Internal Server Error. live-verified on the deployed instance: JSON body {"error":"Internal server error"} (observed on /api/rawtx and invalid XPUB lookups).

Broadcast a raw transaction using the request body.
