Whether you need to verify a record, track creation history, or validate a timestamp, the Explorer provides a fast, searchable interface for managing verifiable records. ## Key Features ### Certificate Table Each row represents a certificate issued by your organization’s accounts. You’ll see: * Certificate ID: A unique identifier for the certificate * Created On: Timestamp of when the certificate was anchored * Size: The on-chain size of the certificate data * Account: Which account issued the certificate * Action: Click View to inspect full details You can sort each column, pick a specific creation date, or search by ID, account name, or metadata. ### Certificate Details Page Clicking View opens a modal with full metadata for the certificate: * ID: Unique certificate identifier * Timestamp: UTC time the certificate was anchored * Block #: The block number in which the certificate was included * TX ID: Transaction ID on the chain * Size: Total size in kilobytes * Raw Data: With the ability to swap between HEX and ASCII views Use this view to verify anchor details, check inclusion in the chain, or copy the data for audits or reporting. You can also click View in Explorer to open a chain explorer tab showing the certificate’s on-chain record and related proofs. {% hint style="info" %} **Tips for Use** **Filter by Account:** Narrow results to a specific blockchain account **Pick a Date:** Quickly find certificates issued on a specific day **Search:** Use certificate ID, metadata, or account labels {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://circular-protocol.gitbook.io/circular-protocol-documentation/tutorials-and-examples/circular-connect-guide/using-the-explorer-and-viewing-certificate-details.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
