The quickest way to start building on Celestia with Quicknode is by sending a REST API request to your endpoint. In this quickstart, you’ll create an endpoint, copy its provider URL, and make your first request. Code samples are available in cURL as well as other popular programming languages.

Get Your Celestia Endpoint

1

Create a Quicknode account

Sign up here if you haven't already.

2

Go to your dashboard

Open the Endpoints dashboard from the left sidebar menu to manage all your blockchain endpoints

3

新しいエンドポイントを作成する

Click Create an Endpoint in the top-right corner, select Celestia as your blockchain, then select your preferred network

4

Copy your provider URLs

Keep the HTTP URL handy. You'll use it in your requests below.

最初のリクエストを送信する

Your endpoint is ready. Now, let's make your first call to the Celestia blockchain. We’ll use the ステータス method, which retrieves Tendermint status including node info, pubkey, latest block hash, app hash, block height そして 時間. Select your preferred language and follow the steps below to send your first request.

cURL

1

Check cURL installation

Most *nix based systems have cURL support out of the box. Open your terminal and check the cURL version by running the command below:

curl --version

2

Get Status

To retrieve the node status, run the following cURL command:

curl --location 'YOUR_QUICKNODE_ENDPOINT_URL/status' \
--header 'accept: application/json'

Node.js

1

Set up your project

Create a directory and initialize a Node.js project:

mkdir celestia-js-quickstart
cd celestia-js-quickstart
npm init -y

2

Create app.js

Create a file named app.js to call the status endpoint:

const https = require('https');

const options = {
  hostname: '{your-endpoint-name}.quiknode.pro',
  path: '/{your-token}/status',
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {
    'accept': 'application/json'
  }
};

const req = https.request(options, (res) => {
  let result = '';
  res.on('data', (chunk) => {
    result += chunk;
  });
  res.on('end', () => {
    console.log('Status:', result);
  });
});

req.on('error', (error) => {
  console.error('Error:', error);
});

req.end();

3

実行

Execute your script:

node app.js

Python

1

Set up your project

Create a new directory for your Python project:

mkdir celestia-python-quickstart
cd celestia-python-quickstart

2

Create and activate a virtual environment

Create a virtual environment to manage dependencies:

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

3

Install requests

Install the requests library for making HTTP requests:

pip install requests

4

Create a Python script (app.py)

Create a Python file to call the status endpoint:

import requests

url = "YOUR_QUICKNODE_ENDPOINT_URL/status"

headers = {
  'accept': 'application/json'
}

response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers)

print('Status:')
print(response.text)

5

実行

Execute your script:

python app.py

TypeScript

1

Set up your project

Create a directory and initialize a TypeScript project:

mkdir celestia-ts-quickstart
cd celestia-ts-quickstart
npm init -y
npm install typescript @types/node tsx
npx tsc --init

2

Create app.ts

Create a file named app.ts to call the status endpoint:

import https from 'https';

const options: https.RequestOptions = {
  hostname: '{your-endpoint-name}.quiknode.pro',
  path: '/{your-token}/status',
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {
    'accept': 'application/json'
  }
};

const req = https.request(options, (res) => {
  let result = '';
  res.on('data', (chunk: Buffer) => {
    result += chunk.toString();
  });
  res.on('end', () => {
    console.log('Status:', result);
  });
});

req.on('error', (error: Error) => {
  console.error('Error:', error);
});

req.end();

3

実行

Execute your script:

npx tsx app.ts

ルビー

1

Set up your project

Create a new directory for your Ruby project:

mkdir celestia-ruby-quickstart
cd celestia-ruby-quickstart

2

Check Ruby installation

Verify Ruby is installed on your system. If not, install it from https://ruby-lang.org:

ruby --version

3

Create a Ruby script (app.rb)

Create an app.rb file to call the status endpoint:

require "uri"
require "net/http"

url = URI("YOUR_QUICKNODE_ENDPOINT_URL/status")

https = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
https.use_ssl = true

request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url)
request["accept"] = "application/json"

response = https.request(request)
puts "Status:"
puts response.read_body

4

Run the script

Execute your Ruby script:

ruby app.rb
