Data mapping
A field-level guide to the Vezgo API data for Litecoin — what each attribute means and where to read it — so you can map it into your own system.
| Data | Where to read it | Source on Litecoin |
|---|---|---|
| Account & wallet | account.wallets[].address | The connected Litecoin address or extended public key (xpub). An xpub derives all of the wallet's addresses; one address/xpub is one account. wallet.address holds it and is the stable identity reused across syncs and reconnects. |
| Balances / positions | account.balances[] | A single native LTC balance — Litecoin is UTXO-based, so there are no tokens or NFTs. The balance has ticker LTC, amount, decimals and fiat_value (USD). |
| Transactions | GET /accounts/:id/transactions | Native LTC deposits and withdrawals (UTXO), one per on-chain transaction. See "How to read a transaction" below. |
| Assets / securities | balance.ticker | Only the native coin LTC — there are no token contracts on Litecoin, so ticker_address is not used. |
How to read a transaction
Each Litecoin transaction is a single native LTC movement (UTXO). Read it from the transaction itself:
- Native LTC movement — parts[] (direction received/sent, ticker "LTC", amount, fiat_value) and the network fee in fees[] (always LTC).
- Counterparties — parts[0] has from_address / to_address plus other_parties[] (UTXO transactions carry multiple inputs and outputs).
- The on-chain transaction hash is in misc.origin_id; misc.owner_address is the wallet address (for an xpub wallet, the specific derived address involved — wallet.address holds the xpub).
// One Vezgo transaction = one on-chain transaction (tx.misc.origin_id = hash)
const hash = tx.misc.origin_id; // on-chain transaction hash
const dir = tx.transaction_type; // "deposit" | "withdrawal" (canonical direction)
const kind = tx.misc.origin_type; // "IN" (deposit) or "OUT" (withdrawal)
const native = tx.parts?.[0]; // native LTC movement (ticker "LTC")
const gas = tx.fees?.[0]; // network fee, always in LTC
const parties = native?.other_parties ?? []; // extra UTXO inputs / outputs
// Litecoin is native-only: no tokenTransfers / nftTransfers / internalTransfers.| Where to read it | Attributes | What it is |
|---|---|---|
tx.transaction_type | "deposit" | "withdrawal" | Canonical direction of the transaction. |
tx.parts[0] | direction, ticker ("LTC"), amount, fiat_value, from_address, to_address, other_parties | Native LTC movement. other_parties holds the extra UTXO inputs/outputs. |
tx.fees[0] | ticker ("LTC"), amount, fiat_value | Network fee — always paid in LTC. |
misc.origin_type is one of:
- IN
- OUT
Supported
- Native LTC balance and transfers
- Address and extended-public-key (xpub) wallets
- Network fees (reported in LTC)
- USD fiat valuation for balances and transactions
Notes & limitations
- Litecoin is UTXO / native-only — no tokens, NFTs or staking.
- decimals may be null for some chains (e.g. Dash, Litecoin); amount is in whole-coin units regardless.
- fees[] is present on deposits too — there it is the whole on-chain network fee (economically paid by the sender), not a charge to your wallet; the connected wallet only bears the fee on sends/withdrawals.
- Up to ~5,000 transactions per sync for typical wallets; for very large wallets the per-sync batch is smaller (~1,000) and history is imported incrementally over later syncs. Wallets with extremely large histories (50k+ transactions) are not supported.
