Node
The node resource is useful for service discovery, health checks, and obtaining network configurations, such as fees, API, and token information.
Note that these parameters are returned by the specific Node and that other nodes might adhere to a different set of parameters.
Endpoints
Retrieve the configuration
Used to access a Node’s configuration and the network it is attached to (identified by the nethash).
Endpoint
Retrieve the Cryptography Configuration
Used to access a Node’s configuration for the @arkecosystem/crypto package that handles all cryptography operations.
Endpoint
Retrieve the Fee Statistics
Used to access a Node’s fee statistics. By default, this endpoint returns calculations based on the 20 most-recent transactions for each type. Also note while using the days query that statistics may not be available for all transaction-types over a given period of time.

Retrieve the status
The status allows for health checking, showing if the node is in sync with the network.
Endpoint
Retrieve the Syncing Status
The syncing resource is very much alike node/status, providing information on the syncing progress. If a node is not syncing but significantly behind in blocks, it might be time to perform a check.
