What is Koios?

Koios Java Client Library is based on Koios Elastic Query Layer for Cardano Node by Cardano Community Guild Operators.
Koios is best described as a Decentralized and Elastic RESTful query layer for exploring data on Cardano blockchain to consume within applications/wallets/explorers/etc.
Resource and maintenance requirements for Cardano blockchain components (e.g. cardano-node, cardano-db-sync) are ever-growing. Along with that, every builder needs to identify how to query complex information from the chain.

Overview

Koios Java Client is a Java REST Client library which allows interacting with Koios Server Instances using Java Objects.

Features

• Synchronous REST messaging using java objects
• Structured Java Objects logging
• Pagination (Limit and Offset) Supported
• Horizontal Filtering Supported
• Sorting Supported
• Rate Control
• Inner Retry Mechanism upon Timeouts
