Check Validator Details

To monitor the current condition of your validator, you can use the following API endpoint (it is public):

curl -X GET "https://api.testnet.stake.fish/v1/eth/oracle/validators?ids=VALIDATOR_INDEX_OR_PUBKEY"

Replace VALIDATOR_INDEX_OR_PUBKEY with the appropriate values based on your needs:

Example values

• Single Validator by Index: https://api.testnet.stake.fish/v1/eth/oracle/validators?ids=1754301
• Multiple Validators by Index (max 100): https://api.testnet.stake.fish/v1/eth/oracle/validators?ids=1754301,1754302
• Single Validator by Public Key: https://api.testnet.stake.fish/v1/eth/oracle/validators?ids=0x8bd0438e7c38a18e0733cd7362a5af5c677e2dffa0a6af6e279322e3918832462ce5b651ca9ca8f6455196cfec74b378
• Multiple Validators by Public Key (max 50): https://api.testnet.stake.fish/v1/eth/oracle/validators?ids=0x8bd0438e7c38a18e0733cd7362a5af5c677e2dffa0a6af6e279322e3918832462ce5b651ca9ca8f6455196cfec74b378,0xa3ee4597cd0df036691bef3cafa4d01afd0527b985c77b2655c0f23647ba49104190e39752fcb7ce45645d4057e01f65
