TONAPI

Public indexed API for TON from tonapi.io. Unlike raw Toncenter, it returns jetton operations, NFT history, and events in human-readable form — the go-to choice for DApp frontends and analytics.

Aliases: tonapi.io, ton api

TONAPI (tonapi.io) is a public indexed TON API: on top of raw blockchain data, it adds normalised jetton/NFT semantics, event search, and ready-made transaction grouping into “operations”.

How it differs from Toncenter

Toncenter is raw JSON-RPC over liteservers: you see cells, opcodes, low-level transaction structure. TONAPI is the index layer above: you see “Alice sent Bob 100 USDT, fee 0.02 TON”. For DApp UI and analytics, TONAPI usually saves you a lot of parsing.

Key endpoints

  • /v2/accounts/<address>/events — normalised account operations (TON-transfer, jetton-transfer, NFT-transfer, etc.).
  • /v2/jettons/<master>/holders — top jetton holders.
  • /v2/nfts/<collection>/items — NFT collection with metadata.
  • /v2/blockchain/... — raw data, when you need it.

An API key is required (free tier with rate limit), available from the tonapi.io dashboard.
