Frequently asked questions
Blockread is a multichain explorer (BTC, BCH, LTC, BSV) backed by the Blockread API. Answers below apply to the public explorer unless your deployment differs. Human-readable documentation
Where is the HTTP API documented?
Per-chain OpenAPI (Swagger) UI is hosted under the Blockread API domain — use the API link in the header or Tools → API in the menu.
What can I search for?
Block height, block hash, transaction id, P2PKH/P2SH address, or script hash — depending on what the indexer exposes for that chain.
Why is some history missing?
Nodes and indexers may prune old blocks or limit proofs. Raw transaction downloads and deep history are best-effort and depend on backend retention.
