Validators

Querying into individual validator IDs

The following endpoints return all kinds of useful information (e.g. rewards, performance, metadata) about a validator or a specific set of validators in the requested time-frame.

Single validator effectiveness

Validator Checkpoint Effectiveness

GET/v0/polygon/validators/{validator_id}/effectiveness

Path parameters

validator_id*Validator Id

JavaScriptCurl

const response = await fetch('/v0/polygon/validators/{validator_id}/effectiveness', {
    method: 'GET',
    headers: {},
});
const data = await response.json();

Response

{
  "page": {
    "granularity": "checkpoint"
  },
  "data": [],
  "next": "text"
}

This endpoint returns all the useful information you will ever need on the historical performance of a single validator. This includes rewards (checkpoint signings, proposals, Bor proposals), performance (effectiveness and its components), stake distribution, and so much more. For a glossary of the variables returned, see effectiveness.

Here's how to interpret the inputs required to operate it 👇

Parameter	Context
from	Starting checkpoint (integer, e.g. 52922) or UTC date (e.g. from=“2023-10-31”)
granularity	The size of time increments you are looking to query. Can be checkpoint or day
size	The number of results included per page

Here's how to interpret the inputs required to operate it 👇

Parameter	Context
window	Window of the aggregation, with 1d, 7d, 30d and all being the supported values

Similar to the Single validator summary but returns the summary stats for all validators. What is great about this endpoint is that you can filter it for validators under a specific delegator, essentially giving you a per validator view of a delegator's delegations.

Here's how to interpret the inputs required to operate it 👇

Parameter	Context
window	Window of the aggregation, with 1d, 7d, 30d and all being the supported values
from	From a specific validator's ranking based on their order in terms of network_penetration
size	The number of results included per page
delegator_address	The Ethereum address of the delegator to filter the results by
