FAQ
What is a Stacks node provider?
A Stacks node provider delivers managed blockchain infrastructure, giving developers instant access to the Stacks network without the burden of deploying and maintaining their own nodes. Instead of managing synchronization, infrastructure, software updates, and ongoing maintenance, teams can connect to reliable hosted endpoints and start building immediately.
What is a Stacks API?
A Stacks API provides developers with a reliable interface for interacting with the Stacks blockchain without managing their own infrastructure. Through API endpoints, applications can broadcast transactions, retrieve block and transaction data, query account information, and interact with smart contracts programmatically. Using a managed Stacks API enables developers to build wallets, Bitcoin-secured decentralized applications, blockchain explorers, analytics platforms, and other Web3 services on scalable, highly available infrastructure.
Should I run a Stacks node myself?
Running your own Stacks node is not necessary for most projects. Operating a node requires continuous synchronization, software updates, security monitoring, and dedicated infrastructure. These requirements often make self-hosted nodes costly and time-consuming, particularly as your application grows.
What Stacks APIs does NOWNodes support?
NOWNodes provides Stacks RPC API and Archive API through reliable, enterprise-grade infrastructure. These services enable developers to broadcast transactions, retrieve both current and historical blockchain data, and interact with the Stacks network without maintaining their own nodes.
How do I start using a Stacks API?
After logging in to NOWNodes and selecting a plan, navigate to the Dashboard in your account and scroll down the page. There you will find the Add a New Key button. Click it to generate your API key, then use it to connect to the Stacks API.
Can I access Stacks infrastructure for free?
Yes. You can start with our START plan, which provides access to shared Stacks infrastructure with up to 100,000 API requests per month.
