Every inscription. Every Rune.
One API.
Query inscriptions, satoshi metadata, Rune details, and collection data through JSON-RPC and ORD-compatible REST API on your Quicknode endpoint. No custom indexer.
Every Ordinals and Runes dataset,
query-ready.
Raw Bitcoin RPC exposes blocks and transactions but does not index Ordinals, satoshi data, or Rune metadata. Building that layer yourself means block scanning, custom databases, and ongoing maintenance. The Ordinals & Runes API indexes it for you.
