Developer Tools

This section demonstrates how to use RPC methods and Horizon endpoints on the Stellar Lab across different networks, including features like sharing URLs and saving requests for future use.

You can explore the various endpoints from the RPC and Horizon, make requests to these endpoints, and save them for future use.

📄️ Horizon Endpoints

Horizon is considered deprecated. It will receive changes necessary to support protocol upgrades but won't be releasing new features. Consider switching to Stellar RPC or another data product.

📄️ RPC Methods

RPC methods are a set of functions that allow developers to interact directly with the Stellar network. You can learn more about all the RPC methods here. The Lab provides an easy way to use these methods from the UI. To access the "RPC Methods" items, click on the "API Explorer" link in the main navigation, then click the "RPC Methods" submenu link, which will open another submenu listing all RPC methods by name. Click on the method name to open that page.
