Vector Smart Chain provides powerful tools for exploring on-chain activity, monitoring contracts, and integrating analytics into your dApps.

VSC Block Explorer

• URL: https://explorer.vscblockchain.org
• Features:
  • View transactions, blocks, and smart contracts
  • Check wallet balances and token holdings
  • Monitor validator activity and staking rewards
  • Interact directly with verified contracts

Analytics Dashboards

• URL: https://dashboard.vscblockchain.org
• Features:
  • Real-time network activity monitoring
  • Token and transaction statistics
  • Validator performance metrics
  • Historical trends and charts

Explorer API

• API Documentation: https://explorer.vscblockchain.org/api-docs
• Use Cases:
  • Fetch transaction history programmatically
  • Query token balances and transfers
  • Integrate VSC data into dashboards or analytics tools
  • Automate contract and wallet monitoring

Best Practices:

• Use the Explorer API for backend services or automated monitoring.
• Always verify that API responses match the current mainnet chain ID and contract addresses.
• Combine API queries with RPC calls for complete dApp functionality and reliability.

Example: Fetching Transaction Data via VSC Explorer API

// Example using Node.js + axios
const axios = require('axios');

// Replace with your wallet or contract address
const address = "0xYourAddressHere";

// VSC Explorer API endpoint for transactions
const apiUrl = `https://explorer.vscblockchain.org/api?module=account&action=txlist&address=${address}&startblock=0&endblock=99999999&page=1&offset=10&sort=desc`;

async function getTransactions() {
  try {
    const response = await axios.get(apiUrl);

    if (response.data.status === "1") {
      console.log("Recent Transactions:");
      response.data.result.forEach((tx, index) => {
        console.log(`${index + 1}. Hash: ${tx.hash}, From: ${tx.from}, To: ${tx.to}, Value: ${tx.value}`);
      });
    } else {
      console.log("No transactions found or API error:", response.data.message);
    }
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Error fetching transactions:", error);
  }
}

getTransactions();

Explanation:

• This fetches the latest 10 transactions for a given wallet or contract.
• The API endpoint parameters:
  • address → target wallet/contract
  • startblock / endblock → define block range
  • page / offset → pagination
  • sort → asc or desc
