Core
Core API is available on Web3 API platform (opens in a new tab).
Core is a layer 1 blockchain built around a unique consensus mechanism called "Satoshi Plus" (opens in a new tab).
In order for your Web3 application to interact with Core — either by reading blockchain data or sending transactions to the network — it must connect to a Core node. Developers interact with the blockchain using the methods provided by the API.
The API interaction follows the JSON-RPC (opens in a new tab) which is a stateless, light-weight remote procedure call (RPC) protocol. It defines several data structures and the rules around their processing. It is transport agnostic in that the concepts can be used within the same process, over sockets, over HTTP, or in other message-passing environments. It uses JSON (RFC 4627) as data format.
