The XRP Ledger (XRPL) transaction scanner, a cutting-edge tool that allows real-time monitoring and analysis of XRP on the ledger, has taken a significant leap forward by launching its new and improved developer portal, the XRPSCAN API platform.
Introducing the New Developer Portal
As highlighted in a blog post, the XRPSCAN API platform represents a significant upgrade to the XRPL transaction scanner, offering developers a more streamlined and user-friendly experience. The platform is a robust toolset that provides developers with a series of REST APIs designed to maximize ease of use and productivity.
Currently, the platform only supports API version v1, delivering a consistent and streamlined developer experience. All resources are referenced in relation to the root endpoint, laying the groundwork for smooth integration and development.
The XRPSCAN API service offers a wide number of endpoints for both public and private use cases. However, it’s important to note that only the endpoints explicitly documented in the developer portal are intended for public use.
Public endpoints are the starting point for developers who want to connect with the XRP Ledger via the XRPSCAN API service. These endpoints provide a variety of features, such as real-time transaction monitoring, account information retrieval, ledger data, and more.
On the other hand, private endpoints are reserved for internal purposes within the XRPSCAN API service or for specific use cases that require restricted access.
Potential Impact of the Launch on XRPL
With the launch of the XRPSCAN API platform, the XRPL transaction scanner is poised to drive a new wave of innovation on the XRPL.
The user-friendly interface and comprehensive documentation enable access to the XRPL’s capabilities, attracting developers from various domains to explore and experiment with the blockchain technology.
As more developers join the platform and explore its potential, we can expect to witness a proliferation of groundbreaking applications that transform industries and enhance global financial inclusion.
Meanwhile, the XRPL has grown in popularity as more people adopt the protocol as their preferred smart contract network. As previously reported by Coingape, the XRPL has reached a historic milestone with more than 81 millionth ledgers recorded.
