JSON

Example

{
  "horizon_version": "$horizon_version",
  "core_version": "$core_version",
  "history_latest_ledger": 64317187,
  "_links": {
    "ledgers": {
      "href": "$ledgers_url"
    }
  }
}

Returns Horizon service metadata and HAL links to the available resource collections.

Use it for discovery and compatibility diagnostics. It does not report Soroban RPC health; use the JSON-RPC getHealth method for that layer.

This Horizon surface currently has one measured working operator and is best-effort without an SLA.

Parameters

——optional

This operation defines no path or query parameters.

Response

horizon_versionstring

Horizon software version.

core_versionstring

Connected Stellar Core version.

history_latest_ledgerinteger

Latest ledger ingested by Horizon.

_linksobject

HAL links to resource collections.

`401`	Unauthorized	The API key is missing or invalid.
`403`	Forbidden	The key lacks the required scope or tier.

const response = await fetch("https://triport.io/rpc/stellar/horizon", {
  headers: {
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${process.env.TRIPORT_API_KEY}`,

  },
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Horizon returned ${response.status}`);
const payload = await response.json();
console.log(payload);

Notes

HAL links are passed through as returned by Horizon.
The root is metadata, not a transaction-submission endpoint.
Related: stellarHorizonGetFeeStats and Soroban getHealth.
Horizon is currently served by one measured operator on a best-effort basis without an SLA.
This product surface is read-only; transaction submission is unavailable.
