Entity API

The Entity API is provided free of charge by Helium. The data provided focuses on infrequently changing attributes of Hotspots such as their owner and asserted location. This API is provided without any guarantees of uptime or support, and is intended for light use cases.For more in-depth analysis, refer to Oracles and Solana on-chain data.

In the interest of anonymity, the latitude/longitude data provided by the API is obfuscated to H3 resolution 8 rather than resolution 12 stored on-chain on Solana.

Active/Inactive Status

Active or Inactive status is deprecated for this API and will return false for all Hotspots on all routes.
