Stellar Effects API

Effects represent specific changes that occur in the ledger as a result of successful operations, but are not necessarily directly reflected in the ledger or history, as transactions and operations are.

  title: Horizon Effects API
  version: 0.0.1
  summary: Horizon provides an HTTP API to data in the Stellar network. It ingests and re-serves the data produced by the Stellar network in a form that is easier to consume by the average application relative to the performance-oriented data representations used by Stellar Core. This API serves the bridge between apps and Stellar Core. Projects like wallets, decentralized exchanges, and asset issuers use Horizon to submit transactions, query an account balance, or stream events like transactions to an account.
  description: 'Horizon provides an HTTP API to data in the Stellar network. It ingests and re-serves the data produced by the Stellar network in a form that is easier to consume by the average application relative to the performance-oriented data representations used by [Stellar Core](https://developers.stellar.org/network/core-node). This API serves the bridge between apps and Stellar Core. Projects like wallets, decentralized exchanges, and asset issuers use Horizon to submit transactions, query an account balance, or stream events like transactions to an account.


    Horizon can be accessed via cURL, a browser, or one of the [Stellar SDKs](https://developers.stellar.org/docs/tools/sdks). To reduce the complexity of your project, we recommend you use an SDK instead of making direct API calls.


    This guide describes how to administer a production Horizon instance (refer to the [Developers'' Blog](https://www.stellar.org/developers-blog/a-new-sun-on-the-horizon) for some background on the performance and architectural improvements of this major version bump). For information about developing on the Horizon codebase, check out the [Development Guide](https://github.com/stellar/stellar-horizon/blob/main/DEVELOPING.md).


    Before we begin, it''s worth reiterating the sentiment echoed in the [Core Node](https://developers.stellar.org/network/core-node) documentation: **we do not endorse running Horizon backed by a standalone Stellar Core instance**, and especially not by a _validating_ Stellar Core. These are two separate concerns, and decoupling them is important for both reliability and performance. Horizon instead manages its own, pared-down version of Stellar Core optimized for its own subset of needs (we''ll refer to this as a "Captive Core" instance).

      summary: List All Effects
      description: This endpoint lists all effects and can be used in streaming mode. Streaming mode allows you to listen for new effects as they are added to the Stellar ledger. If called in streaming mode, Horizon will start at the earliest known effect unless a cursor is set, in which case it will start from that cursor. By setting the cursor value to now, you can stream effects created since your request time.
