IOTA


IOTA API is available on Web3 API platform.

IOTA is a Move-based protocol that provides a decentralized, scalable platform for digital asset management and smart contracts. Leveraging the Move programming language, IOTA Layer 1 ensures high performance and security for applications deployed on the IOTA Mainnet.

In order for your Web3 application to interact with IOTA — either by reading blockchain data or sending transactions to the network — it must connect to an IOTA node. Developers interact with the blockchain using the methods provided by the API.

The API interaction follows the JSON-RPC 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.
