​
Overview

The Solana Data API provides deep, Solana-native access to Solana blockchain data, standardizing complex on-chain structures into clean, developer-friendly formats. It is designed specifically around Solana’s account model, programs, and transaction semantics, rather than forcing Solana data into an EVM-style abstraction.

​
What the Solana Data API Is For

The Solana Data API is built for:
  • Applications focused exclusively on Solana
  • Use cases that require Solana-specific data models
  • Developers who need precise control over Solana program and account data

​
Relationship to the Universal API

  • The Universal API includes shared EVM + Solana functionality
  • The Solana Data API provides deeper Solana-specific coverage
  • Some Solana-specific endpoints are not available in the Universal API
As with EVM, not all Solana features are suitable for a fully universal abstraction.

​
When to Use the Solana Data API

Use the Solana Data API if you:
  • Are building a Solana-only application
  • Need Solana-specific transaction or account details
  • Want the most accurate representation of Solana on-chain behavior
