IC Dashboard APIs

What This Is

These public REST APIs power dashboard.internetcomputer.org. They expose read-only access to canister metadata, ICRC ledgers, SNS data, the ICP ledger, and network metrics via OpenAPI specs and Swagger UI. Agents and scripts can call them over HTTPS from off-chain (no canister deployment or cycles required). Prefer v2 or higher API versions where available; they provide cursor-based pagination (after, before, limit) and are the same surface the dashboard uses.

Prerequisites

• Any HTTP client: curl, fetch, axios, or the language’s native HTTP library.
• No icp-cli or canister deployment needed for read-only API access.
• For OpenAPI-based codegen: optional use of the openapi.json URLs with your preferred OpenAPI tooling.
