This document shows how to query basic information from the blockchain.

Current block

The current status can be queried from the RPC endpoint using

curl https://rpc-eu-1.kyve.network/status

Output

This response contains a lot of useful information. To query directly the height, one can do:

curl -s https://rpc-eu-1.kyve.network/status | jq ".result.sync_info.latest_block_height | tonumber"

Query Block

A block can be queried from the rpc endpoint. For example to query block 415111 one can do

curl -s "https://rpc-eu-1.kyve.network/block?height=415111"

This returns all the different hashes as well as consensus information. To get all transactions one can do

curl -s "https://rpc-eu-1.kyve.network/block?height=415111" | jq .result.block.data.txs

Output

]

The data returned is the raw proto-encoded message. We highly recommend using comsjs here. However, if one wants to decode it using the cli one can do

echo <raw-proto-message> | base64 -d | protoc --decode_raw

Query a transaction from the API

To query a transaction one needs its transaction hash. The transaction hash is the sha256sum of the raw proto-encoded message.

echo <raw-proto-message> | base64 -d | sha256sum

In the example above the hash can be obtained via

echo "Cp8BCpwBCiMvY29zbW9zLnN0YWtpbmcudjFiZXRhMS5Nc2dEZWxlZ2F0ZRJ1CitreXZlMWtyMGZsajhsbTZ4M3hrd3owazM3ajdta25oczQzNzV2ZWtxZjc1EjJreXZldmFsb3BlcjFrcjBmbGo4bG02eDN4a3d6MGszN2o3bWtuaHM0Mzc1dnR4cWZzaxoSCgV1a3l2ZRIJMTY4NDY5MzE1EmgKUQpGCh8vY29zbW9zLmNyeXB0by5zZWNwMjU2azEuUHViS2V5EiMKIQIO8IpKrB2xJfAhr4SPlFU5TmJst7orlU1U6ABOYC6JihIECgIIARjtBxITCg0KBXVreXZlEgQ0MDAwEMTuChpA8joAcQn3yMWZJ8c5cdv4+Vr/BHIihT6FyI93l3st+61dbHFLTImSYSqc4s7ZMO5zPtutrtcG0OSMyFa/jEHHmw==" | base64 -d | sha256sum

Output

e966695d16667d78f132ca310c556ae0608ad281f386a879af203d4bd0df690a

After that one can use the obtained hash to query the transaction

curl -s https://api-explorer.kyve.network/cosmos/tx/v1beta1/txs/e966695d16667d78f132ca310c556ae0608ad281f386a879af203d4bd0df690a

Again: We highly recommend using comsjs for querying transactions

Reading the transaction result

The transaction query also returns information about the execution of the transaction. Using the example above:

curl -s https://api-explorer.kyve.network/cosmos/tx/v1beta1/txs/e966695d16667d78f132ca310c556ae0608ad281f386a879af203d4bd0df690a | jq .tx_response

Some values are encoded with base64 and need to be decoded manually. If the field code is 0, then the transaction was successful. In this example the transaction was not successful. The reason can be found in the raw_log field. (In this example: "raw_log": "out of gas in location: ReadFlat; gasWanted: 177988, gasUsed: 178718: out of gas") The user did not provide enough gas.
