Miner Index

An open API to explore a rich feed of real-time data to identify and use miners on the Filecoin network.

  • Swagger/Open API
  • UX / Scriptable CLI
  • Real-time on-chain variables
  • Real-time Textile telemetry
  • Query, Profiles, Calculator

Miner Index

Available as an installable command-line tool as part of the Hub.

  • Use interactive interface to query, get, and calculate deals with miners.
  • Use JSON formatting to integrate the client easily with other tools and pipelines.

Miner Query

  • Filter and sort based on performance features of miners storing deals
  • Real-time pricing data for simple and verified clients
  • Filter by miner region (ISO2)
  • Sort by last known activity
  • Launching with only North American sourced client telemetry. More regions to be added in the future.

Example: filter by region

Miner Stats

  • Rich details about every miner in the index. 
  • Per-miner telemetry insights.
  • Observed deals and stats over recent history.

Deal Calculator

  • Batch endpoint to calculate real-cost of storage with any set of miners.
  • Helpful cut-and-paste ready commands for turning calculations into proposals over Lotus and on the Textile Hub.

Data to network

  • Three easy commands to go from query to deal success. Shown to the right.
  • Calculate
  • Set bucket config
  • Ship data archive to Filecoin.

For Clients

  • Start using the API and Calculator for free.
  • Download and install the Hub CLI to use the command line index. 
  • Or use the OpenAPI/Swagger endpoint to build directly on the API. 
  • Join us on Slack to ask for tips or let us know how you are using it.

Create a Deal

  • After you have found a miner(s) to use, try making a deal!
  • Copy paste any of the steps to the right.
  • Use the addr in step three to also get your address verified on verify.glif.io.
  • The archive request queues your deal. You'll need to check back later to ensure the deal successfully stored with your selected miners.
