Explorer API

One read-only response combines Genesis chain state, coordinator status, settlements, and privacy-preserving mesh telemetry. The browser Explorer uses this same public data.

GET/api/explorer

Uncached public snapshot. Sends Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *.

bash

curl -fsS https://grid-compute.com/api/explorer \
  | jq '{checkedAt, health, endpoints, chain, coordinator, settlement}'

Top-level response

Field	Meaning
checkedAt	Time the edge assembled this response
endpoints	Canonical public Genesis, coordinator, P2P, and mesh addresses
health	Reachability booleans for Genesis, coordinator, and mesh
genesis	Public Genesis role, policy, epoch, and chain summary
chain	Chain ID, height, leader key, tip, and recent block details
coordinator	Job, node, reward, cap, and issued-reward statistics
status	Coordinator service status
settlement	Coordinator-to-chain inclusion counters
mesh	Coarse node presence snapshot; no public IP addresses

Block details

chain.blocks[]

{
  "height": 1,
  "hash": "b4a948…f609a",
  "previousHash": "527314…741a",
  "stateRoot": "c1002b…4c20",
  "timestamp": "2026-07-28T23:00:45.136249856+00:00",
  "transactions": 23,
  "settlements": 23
}

Hashes are abbreviated only in this documentation example. The API and Explorer expose the complete values. The browser allows a block row to be expanded to show its previous hash, state root, timestamp, transaction count, and settlement count.

Polling

The public Explorer UI refreshes automatically once per hour and also provides manual refresh. API clients should use similarly conservative polling and honor HTTP failures with exponential backoff.

A healthy edge response does not mean every upstream is healthy. Always inspect the health object and treat individual upstream sections as nullable.
