Litecoin (LTC) API Documentation

Litecoin

Litecoin (LTC) is a payments blockchain secured by Scrypt proof of work, with its network launched in October 2011 as a Bitcoin-derived protocol with shorter block intervals. Transactions use Bitcoin-style Script and a UTXO model, while full nodes validate blocks and transactions and maintain blockchain data, the mempool, and the current spendable-output set. This Bitcoin-family architecture makes blocks, transactions, addresses, scripts, UTXOs, and mempool operations familiar integration primitives across Litecoin and related networks.

Litecoin API Methods and Endpoints

NOWNodes exposes Litecoin's interface, plus a few others, depending on what your integration needs: JSON-RPC for reading chain state and broadcasting transactions, WSS (WebSocket) for real-time subscriptions and events, and Blockbook for indexed address, balance, transaction, and block lookups. Archive mode extends any of these to historical states and data beyond standard retention.

Browse the interfaces below for endpoint details, request parameters, response formats, and integration examples. Create an API key, select Mainnet or Testnet, choose the required interface, and start sending requests from your application.
