Authorizations

ApiKeyAuthApiKeyAuth

api-key string

NOWNodes API key passed in the api-key header.

Alias served by the same handler as /api/status on full public interfaces.

Load estimate: Low; constant-size status metadata.

live-verified behavior:

Live capture (200): the full status object {blockbook, backend}. On this gateway /api/ is the primary status route, because /api/status is not routed (405).
Amount scale: decimals reports 6 - Verge-native precision, 1 XVG = 1,000,000 satoshi (smallest unit 0.000001 XVG). Integer amount fields across the API (address balance, utxo value) use this 10^6 scale, and tx-specific returns the same amounts as decimal XVG floats - both represent the same values. Read decimals from this response instead of hardcoding a divisor.

Response

200OK

HTTP 200 Verge Blockbook response for getApiIndexStatus.

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).
