# Chain Requests

The universal Aquarius Endpoint is [`https://v4.aquarius.oceanprotocol.com`](https://v4.aquarius.oceanprotocol.com).

### Chain List

Retrieves a list of chains that are currently supported or recognized by the Aquarius service.

* **Endpoint**: `GET /api/aquarius/chains/list`
* **Purpose**: This endpoint provides a list of the chain IDs that are recognized by the Aquarius service. Each chain ID represents a different blockchain network, and the boolean value indicates if the chain is currently active (true) or not (false).
* **Parameters**: This endpoint does not require any parameters. You simply send a GET request to it.

Here are some typical responses you might receive from the API:

* **200**: This is a successful HTTP response code. It means the server has successfully processed the request and returns a JSON object containing chain IDs as keys and their active status as values.

Example response:

```json
{   "246": true, "3": true, "137": true,
    "2021000": true, "4": true, "1": true,
    "56": true, "80001": true, "1287": true
}
```

#### Curl Example

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```bash
curl --location --request GET 'https://v4.aquarius.oceanprotocol.com/api/aquarius/chains/list'
```

{% endcode %}

#### Javascript Example

{% @runkit/embed nodeVersion="18.x.x" content="const axios = require('axios')

const response = await axios( '<https://v4.aquarius.oceanprotocol.com/api/aquarius/chains/list>')
console.log(response.status)
console.log(response.data)
" %}

### **Chain Status**

Retrieves the index status for a specific chain\_id from the Aquarius service.

* **Endpoint**: `GET /api/aquarius/chains/status/{chain_id}`
* **Purpose**: This endpoint is used to fetch the index status for a specific blockchain chain, identified by its chain\_id. The status, expressed as the "last\_block", gives the most recent block that Aquarius has processed on this chain.
* **Parameters**: This endpoint requires a chain\_id as a parameter in the path. This chain\_id represents the specific chain you want to get the index status for.

Here are some typical responses you might receive from the API:

* **200**: This is a successful HTTP response code. It means the server has successfully processed the request and returns a JSON object containing the "last\_block", which is the most recent block that Aquarius has processed on this chain. In the response example you provided, "25198729" is the last block processed on the chain with the chain\_id "137".

Example response:

```json
{"last_block": 25198729}
```

#### Curl Example

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```bash
curl --location --request GET 'https://v4.aquarius.oceanprotocol.com/api/aquarius/chains/status/137'
```

{% endcode %}

#### Javascript Example

{% @runkit/embed nodeVersion="18.x.x" content="const axios = require('axios')
const chainId = 1

const response = await axios( `https://v4.aquarius.oceanprotocol.com/api/aquarius/chains/status/${chainId}`)
console.log(response.status)
console.log(response.data)
" %}

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.oceanprotocol.com/developers/old-infrastructure/aquarius/chain-requests.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
