Zcash RPC API

ZEC · bitcoin dialect

JSON-RPC to our own Zcash full node, with one Olenza API key. Bitcoin-style JSON-RPC (bitcoind dialect): the gateway passes your call to the node and its answer back unchanged; it does not translate between dialects.

zebrad speaks the Bitcoin dialect. Transparent (t-) addresses only: shielded balances are private by design. getaddresstxids on a busy address is slow; at most 16 addresses per call.

Endpoint

POST https://node.olenza.io/v1/rpc/zec

Send the key in the X-API-Key header (or Authorization: Bearer). A batch is a JSON array of calls.

Example

curl https://node.olenza.io/v1/rpc/zec \
  -H "X-API-Key: $OLENZA_KEY" \
  --data '{"jsonrpc":"1.0","id":1,"method":"getblockcount","params":[]}'

The answer is the node's own JSON-RPC response. Errors from the gateway carry a stable error.data.reason — see the docs.

Only these methods are available; wallet, peer, node-control and UTXO-set scan methods are not. Signed transactions can be broadcast with sendrawtransaction. Every call counts as one unit.
