HTTP and REST
A node REST contract is not a public endpoint.
Talero node software defines REST routes for controlled deployments, but the public RPC domain currently publishes only JSON-RPC at /rpc.
Contract reference
No public node REST base
Explorer API is separate
Deployment-specific
Do not construct URLs from the source catalog. A route classified as public-capable still needs an operator to publish it.
Contract, policy and deployment
| Layer |
What it says |
What it does not say |
| Node route catalog |
Routes implemented by the node and their policy classes |
That every route is internet-accessible |
| Access profile |
Routes a configured role may be permitted to use |
That a particular host publishes that profile |
| Reverse proxy |
The paths actually exposed by a deployment |
That other software routes share the same host |
Current public boundary
https://rpc.talero.info/rpc accepts JSON-RPC POST requests. The same host returns 404 for node REST probes such as /health, /ready and /api/v1/head. There is therefore no public node REST base URL to integrate against at this time.
If Talero publishes a node REST deployment later, its base URL, authentication, quotas and supported route subset must be announced as a separate contract.
Use the Explorer API for indexed reads
The Explorer exposes a distinct read API under https://explorer.talero.info/api. Representative routes include /blocks, /txs, /address/:address, /search, /validators, /checkpoint/latest, /network/health and /metrics.
Those routes belong to the Explorer indexer and may have privacy, freshness, pagination and degraded-state semantics that differ from direct node reads.

For node operators
The full node REST catalog remains useful as an operator-side contract. Publish only an explicitly reviewed subset behind authentication, request limits and monitoring. Do not reuse internal readiness, diagnostics or administration routes as a general public API.
