Based on ton-http-api (sources/ton-http) and TON Index (Go) v3. For request parameters and return values of any endpoint, use Swagger UI or OpenAPI doc.json.
TON nodes use ADNL binary transport; an HTTP API is an intermediary that accepts HTTP and talks to TON lite servers (via tonlib). Use the public toncenter.com or run your own instance from the ton-http-api repo. TON Index v3 (at toncenter.com) adds indexed REST APIs (accounts, actions, jettons, NFTs, etc.) on top of stored chain data.
Looking up endpoint parameters and return values
- Swagger UI (recommended): https://toncenter.com/api/v3/index.html#/ — browse by group, inspect query/body and response schemas.
- OpenAPI JSON: https://toncenter.com/api/v3/doc.json — full machine-readable spec for parameters and models.
When calling or wrapping TON Center APIs, consult the above to confirm query/body parameters and response shapes.
