Check Node Status

https://nemproject.github.io/#NIS-status-related-requests Using this API path check on your node sync status.

https://nemproject.github.io/#block-chain-height Using this API path check on your block height.

Recommended for exchanges, this set of APIs will get blocks from the chain.

To get transaction hash directly if nis.transactionHashRetentionTime is set as mentioned above, use /transaction/get?hash=<hash>

You can always use public node to cross check with the information. Public node Testnet node Testnet Nodes Mainnet Nodes

Configure to Testnet node

Go to nis/config.properties Search nem.network and change it to testnet
