Introduction
The Relay API is an easy-to-use, open-source API to access Helium oracle data. It enables you to fetch data from Helium Oracles within seconds, eliminating the complexity of extracting the data from AWS S3 buckets.
During this phase, you may encounter some issues, bugs, or imperfections. We’re actively working on improving the API and adding more features. Follow Relay on X for the latest updates on our progress.”
Use Cases
The Relay team is actively expanding the API's capabilities. For more information about our development roadmap, visit our website.
During the beta phase, the Relay API primarily provides access to Helium Network hotspot data`. With the Relay API, you can:
- Sync hotspot rewards including HNT, IOT, MOBILE.
- Retrieve IoT and Mobile reward shares.
- Query historical Helium earnings data.
Open Source
The Relay API was built in partnership with the Helium Foundation. The Foundation awarded Relay a grant to make the Helium oracle data more accessible to the community, removing the need for users to extract data from S3.
For more information, read the official announcement.
The Relay API is open-source. The backend code will be published under the Relay GitHub organization and made publicly accessible for review, feedback, contributions, and independent development. The API will be open-sourced after the beta phase, at the time of its public launch.
