FAQPage Schema

How do I query Internet Computer dashboard APIs for canister metadata?▼

You query Internet Computer dashboard APIs for canister metadata by making HTTP requests to public REST endpoints, retrieving network data without requiring canister deployment or paying cycles.

How does cursor-based pagination work for fetching ICP ledger transactions?▼

Cursor-based pagination for ICP ledger transactions works by using a cursor parameter in sequential HTTP requests to fetch data pages. This enables efficient retrieval from off-chain environments without requesting overlapping records.

Can I retrieve SNS proposal data and network metrics without deploying a canister?▼

Yes, you can retrieve SNS proposal data and network metrics without deploying a canister. The Skill queries public REST APIs directly to fetch SNS data and network metrics, eliminating deployment requirements and cycle costs.

What is the best way to get ICRC ledger data from off-chain environments?▼

The best way to get ICRC ledger data from off-chain environments is querying dedicated ICRC API endpoints via REST. This method supports cursor-based pagination to efficiently retrieve specific ledger transaction histories.

Do I need to pay cycles to fetch Internet Computer network statistics?▼

No, you do not need to pay cycles to fetch Internet Computer network statistics. The queries target public REST APIs that power dashboard.internetcomputer.org, providing free access to network metrics from off-chain environments.
