Ordinal Explorer
================

The `ord` binary includes a block explorer. We host a instance of the block
explorer on mainnet at [ordinals.com](https://ordinals.com), and on signet at
[signet.ordinals.com](https://signet.ordinals.com).

### Running The Explorer
The server can be run locally with:

`ord server`

To specify a port add the `--http-port` flag:

`ord server --http-port 8080`

To enable the JSON-API endpoints add the `--enable-json-api` or `-j` flag (see
[here](#json-api) for more info):

`ord server --enable-json-api`

To test how your inscriptions will look you can run:

`ord preview <FILE1> <FILE2> ...`

Search
------

The search box accepts a variety of object representations.

### Blocks

Blocks can be searched by hash, for example, the genesis block:

[000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce26f](https://ordinals.com/search/000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce26f)

### Transactions

Transactions can be searched by hash, for example, the genesis block coinbase
