Stellar guides
Task-based walkthroughs for Stellar on Triport: building on the Horizon REST and SSE surfaces as they actually behave, including retention boundaries and the parts that have no stream.
The REST catalog and the Horizon SSE reference describe each surface on its own. These guides put them together into a working task and are explicit about the constraints that change how the code must be written — which channels exist, what a reconnect costs, and where the retained window ends.
| Guide | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Monitor payments with Horizon and SSE | Subscribing to transactions as a trigger, paging payments from a stored paging_token, closing the gap after a reconnect, and reading 410 beyond_retention as a boundary rather than an empty page. |
Before you start
Every guide assumes a working key and connection — see Getting started and the Stellar overview. Two facts apply throughout: Horizon and SSE run through one measured operator on a best-effort basis without an SLA, and this surface is read-only, so no guide here submits a transaction.
