Light API

On WAX, “light API” typically refers to lighter-weight managed API access patterns that avoid the full cost of running broad archival or indexing infrastructure.

External Reference

For the light API HTTP surface used by one common Antelope implementation, use:

When It Fits

  • read-heavy apps with simpler data needs
  • environments that do not need deep indexed history
  • services that want lower operational complexity than full history infrastructure

Important Caveat

Provider offerings vary. Treat “light API” as a deployment and service category, not as a single universal WAX standard.
