Web API: Master Node

Validators (master nodes) as recorded by the explorer: address, name, active flag, connection time, geolocation, and blocks produced.

Base URL

/api/masternodes/

Endpoints

List Master Nodes

GET /api/masternodes/

Returns a paginated list of every validator address the explorer has recorded. Filter with is_active=true for the current validator set.

Query Parameters:

is_active: true or false
search: match on address or name; results then use the full record shape (see details below)
ordering: a response field, prefixed with - for descending (for example -date_connected)
compact: any value; each result then has only address, name, is_active, and location_name (city, region, country joined with commas, or -)
page, limit: page number and page size; the default and maximum page size is 15000

Response:

{
  "count": 19673,
  "page": 1,
  "num_pages": 2,
  "results": [
    {
      "address": "RNLsAwj8pn6EXbHv1LYokuFGHXTVnxcwfr",
      "name": "Merkle Science 1",
      "is_active": true,
      "date_connected": "2026-08-31T11:01:23.701409Z",
      "city": "Boardman",
      "country": "United States",

  "connect_date": "2026-08-31T11:01:23.701409Z"
}

Get Master Node by Name

GET /api/masternodes/name/{name}/

Same response shape as the details endpoint. URL-encode names that contain spaces.

Map Data

GET /api/masternodes/map/

Paginated like the list, with the same query parameters. Each result carries only the coordinates and the address:

{
  "count": 19673,
  "page": 1,
  "num_pages": 2,
  "results": [
    {
      "latitude": 45.8401,
      "longitude": -119.705,
      "address": "RNLsAwj8pn6EXbHv1LYokuFGHXTVnxcwfr"
    }
  ]
}

Field Descriptions

address: the validator’s VFX address
name, unique_name: the validator name chosen at activation (unique on the network); unique_name repeats name
is_active: whether the node is in the current active validator set
date_connected, connect_date: when the node was last recorded connecting; connect_date repeats date_connected
city, country, latitude, longitude: geolocation derived from the node’s IP address; may be null or 0.0 when unknown
block_count: blocks this validator has produced (details and name lookups only)

Notes

count on the unfiltered list includes every validator address ever recorded; is_active=true gives the current set.
There are no uptime, version, performance, rewards, or port fields, and IP addresses are not exposed. Proof of Assurance pays no block rewards.
POST /api/masternodes/send/ is an internal ingestion endpoint used by the explorer’s own node infrastructure; it is not part of the public API and is not listed in Swagger.
