getLedgers

Archive Method

Only on the full archive nodes. Complex queries might take longer and incur additional cost

How to use it

// Import required libraries and modules from Tatum SDK
import { TatumSDK, Stellar, Network } from "@tatumio/tatum";

// Initialize the Tatum SDK for Stellar
const tatum = await TatumSDK.init<Stellar>({ network: Network.STELLAR });

// Define optional parameters for listing ledgers (Replace placeholders with actual values and remove redundant)
const params = {
  cursor: "YOUR_CURSOR",
  order: "asc",
  limit: 10,
};

// List all ledgers or stream new ledgers as they close
const ledgers = await tatum.rpc.getLedgers(params);

// Log the list of ledgers
console.log("Ledgers:", ledgers);

// Always destroy the Tatum SDK instance when done to stop any background processes
await tatum.destroy();

Overview

The getLedgers method allows you to retrieve a list of all ledgers on the Stellar blockchain. You can use this endpoint to either list all existing ledgers or stream new ledgers as they are created.

Request Parameters

The getLedgers method supports the following optional request parameters:

cursor (string, optional):
Set the cursor to start listing ledgers from a specific ledger. If not specified, it starts from the earliest known ledger.
order (string, optional):
Set the order of listing, which can be either 'asc' (ascending) or 'desc' (descending). If not specified, it defaults to 'asc'.
limit (integer, optional):
Set the maximum number of ledgers to return in a single request. The limit can range from 1 to an upper limit hardcoded in Horizon for performance reasons. If not specified, it defaults to 10.

Return Object

The getLedgers method returns a JSON object representing a list of ledgers on the Stellar blockchain. Each ledger entry includes various properties describing the ledger's characteristics, such as its sequence number, transaction count, and more.

(Note: The exact fields in the return object might vary based on the Stellar blockchain's implementation and version.)
