TzScan API for alphanet?

Question

Does the TzScan API support alphanet operations?

For example, this query in mainnet works. But this query for alphanet does not work even though the ophash ooTC8mMZ7dG1ReCXLPiTAN3qEUB7uNFuh9R8KZXEFbZZiZcypBf is valid in alphanet.

Answer 1

After inspecting TzScan's alphanet frontend, i've been able to extract the following curl request:

curl 'https://api.alphanet.tzscan.io/v1/operation/ooZXgbKsbHDwMof1mfRxgWXDsjGVZ4FMbwoJdVDyB3nzEAJVsBh' -H 'Pragma: no-cache' -H 'Origin: https://alphanet.tzscan.io' -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br' -H 'Accept-Language: en-GB,en-US;q=0.9,en;q=0.8' -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/71.0.3578.98 Safari/537.36' -H 'Accept: */*' -H 'Referer: https://alphanet.tzscan.io/ooZXgbKsbHDwMof1mfRxgWXDsjGVZ4FMbwoJdVDyB3nzEAJVsBh' -H 'Connection: keep-alive' -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' --compressed

Of course you can try /v3/operation as well, and it will work, even with your op hash, try the following:

curl 'https://api.alphanet.tzscan.io/v1/operation/ooTC8mMZ7dG1ReCXLPiTAN3qEUB7uNFuh9R8KZXEFbZZiZcypBf' -H 'Pragma: no-cache' -H 'Origin: https://alphanet.tzscan.io' -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br' -H 'Accept-Language: en-GB,en-US;q=0.9,en;q=0.8' -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/71.0.3578.98 Safari/537.36' -H 'Accept: */*' -H 'Referer: https://alphanet.tzscan.io/ooZXgbKsbHDwMof1mfRxgWXDsjGVZ4FMbwoJdVDyB3nzEAJVsBh' -H 'Connection: keep-alive' -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' --compressed

I'm not sure where api6.tzscan.io is pointing at, but api.alphanet.tzscan.io seems to work with alphanet. Alternatively you can run TzScan locally with your Alphanet node, if you wan't to fully in control.
