Introducing Xverse API: Build Powerful Bitcoin Applications

We’re excited to announce the launch of the Xverse API, an easier, more intuitive way to build Bitcoin applications. 

From wallets and DeFi platforms to NFT marketplaces, cross-chain bridges, and more, you can use our high-performance, comprehensive, and easy-to-integrate API solution to build just about anything on Bitcoin. 

Read on to learn how you can use the Xverse API to make building on Bitcoin easier than ever.

Xverse API

What Is the Xverse API? 

The Xverse API is your starting point for interacting with the Bitcoin ecosystem: from Ordinals and Runes, L2 integrations, Bitcoin-native swaps, and much more. It provides you with real-time Bitcoin blockchain data and ready-to-use transaction workflows.

Our API suite is built for builders: organized into powerful modules that serve different needs across the ecosystem, they’re easily implemented with our guides helping you along every step of the way.

Everything is built in-house, with no external wrappers, with all the indexing and infrastructure built directly from the source. 

To start using the platform, you can request an API key from the website.

Here’s What to Expect from Xverse API!

Now, let’s look at what you can do with the Xverse API.

While the list covers the most important aspects we’re offering, it’s definitely not exhaustive, and there are plenty of other advantages to using our product, including customized solutions for you.

Bitcoin Transactions API

Bitcoin Transactions API offers data about UTXOs, balances, and real-time and comprehensive Bitcoin transaction data for multiple addresses, all of which are already optimized for dashboards, apps, and other use cases. 

Ordinals, Runes, BRC-20 API

All the biggest Bitcoin-native assets in one place: you can use these APIs to fetch detailed balance information, access live market data, and parse transaction data tied to any one of these asset types. 

All three types come with separate APIs. These let you implement what you need on your own terms. 

Runes and BRC-20 APIs also let you create these assets, integrate them into your apps without having to build your own infrastructure, and include cost estimates, order management, and execution. 

Meanwhile, our Inscription Service helps you automate Ordinals inscriptions and use our advanced features for this.

Runes Integration Service

With our API, you can enable Runes integration, minting, and etching with status monitoring and detailed information. It’s the ideal way to keep everything in one place, without your users having to navigate off-site.

Swap Aggregation API

This API lets you integrate swaps across multiple automated market makers (AMMs). It will provide aggregate quotes, generate and execute swap orders, along with cross-chain swaps. 

Real-Time Data

Nothing is left up to chance, and all data is live: all supported assets and transaction types are shown in real time.

High-Performance Infrastructure

The Xverse API is built for high performance: with low-latency responses and a scalability-first design, proven in production with our wallet, we can handle any load you throw at us securely and reliably.

Customization

If you haven’t quite found what you’re looking for, you need something specifically tailored to your needs, or you simply want a bespoke API solution, we’ve got your back. All of our solutions can be potentially tailored to fit your specific needs.

Why Should You Use the Xverse API?

For builders looking to add access to the Bitcoin ecosystem through a single access point, we offer several benefits to using the Xverse API.

• Streamlined development: Everything is easily accessible from our portal, plus implemented quickly and easily using our docs.
• Reduced infrastructure burden: Let us handle the infrastructure on our side, and you simply plug it all in and play.
• Reliability and performance: Our modules are tested and true, built for powerful performance and reliability, with low latency and scalability at the forefront.
• Comprehensive data access: View all the data you need for multiple bitcoin addresses from one interface, including UTXOs, balances, and real-time transaction data.
• Easy integration of Bitcoin L1 features: Don’t be scared of adding Runes, Ordinals, and BRC-20 support, since we handle that for you, from creating new assets to accessing all data related to them from one integrated interface.

In short, the Xverse API lets you, the developer, shift your focus from infrastructure to building your own application logic. We handle the rest.

“Through years of building on Bitcoin at Xverse, we’ve seen developers struggle with limitations of Bitcoin APIs and data sources. The space needs better tooling, and we’re pushing forward with Xverse API. Battle-tested within Xverse wallet, it’s comprehensive and reliable,” explains Xverse CEO Ken Liao.
