Litecoin

Litecoin is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency network based on the Bitcoin protocol, offering faster block times (2.5 minutes) and lower transaction fees. It exposes a JSON-RPC interface via Litecoin Core for direct node interaction, a built-in unauthenticated REST interface for public blockchain queries, and a Litecoin Space block explorer REST and WebSocket API (mempool.space-compatible) for querying transactions, addresses, blocks, UTXO data, mempool state, and fee estimates.

agent ready

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Litecoin the way a machine reads it — 25 machine-readable artifacts across 10 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Litecoin scores 32.2/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 48/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Litecoin

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Litecoin. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 10

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Litecoin Space WebSocket API

A real-time WebSocket API provided by Litecoin Space (litecoinspace.org) for subscribing to live Litecoin network events. Clients connect to the WebSocket endpoint and subscribe...

Litecoin Addresses API

Address lookup, transaction history, and UTXO endpoints

Litecoin Blockchain API

Chain state information endpoints

Litecoin Blocks API

Block and header retrieval endpoints

Litecoin Fees API

Fee estimation and recommendation endpoints

Litecoin JSON-RPC API

Litecoin Core JSON-RPC 2.0 interface. All methods are accessed via a single POST endpoint using the method field to select the operation.

Litecoin Mempool API

Mempool state and contents endpoints

Litecoin Mining API

Mining pool statistics, hashrate, and difficulty endpoints

Litecoin Transactions API

Transaction retrieval endpoints

Litecoin UTXO API

Unspent transaction output query endpoints

Pricing Plans 4

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 4

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 4

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
