Sui (SUI) API Documentation

Sui

Sui (SUI) is a delegated-proof-of-stake Layer 1 using the DAG-based Mysticeti consensus protocol, which first launched on mainnet in July 2024. Smart contracts are written in Move and operate on an object-centric state model, while full nodes validate transactions, track checkpoints and epoch changes, and store objects, packages, transaction effects, and chain history. This object-based Move architecture is shared with other Move-derived systems, making objects, packages, checkpoints, and transaction effects the primary primitives exposed to applications.

Sui API Methods and Endpoints

NOWNodes exposes Sui's interface, plus a few others, depending on what your integration needs: JSON-RPC for reading chain state and broadcasting transactions.

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.
