FAQ

What is a Stellar node provider?

A Stellar node provider delivers managed blockchain infrastructure, giving developers instant access to the Stellar 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 Stellar API?

A Stellar API provides developers with a reliable interface for interacting with the Stellar blockchain without managing their own infrastructure. Through API endpoints, applications can submit transactions, retrieve ledger and account data, monitor network activity, and integrate Stellar functionality into wallets, payment systems, exchanges, and other Web3 services. Using a managed Stellar API allows developers to build scalable applications without operating their own nodes.

Should I run a Stellar node myself?

Running your own Stellar 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 Stellar APIs does NOWNodes support?

NOWNodes provides Stellar RPC API through reliable, enterprise-grade infrastructure. This service enables developers to broadcast transactions, retrieve blockchain data, and interact with the Stellar network without maintaining their own nodes.

How do I start using a Stellar 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 Stellar API.

Can I access Stellar infrastructure for free?

Yes. You can start with our START plan, which provides access to shared Stellar infrastructure with up to 100,000 API requests per month.
