A voluntary exit is a signed message from a validator indicating the epoch at which they choose to exit the active set. Provide a slot number or use the keyword `latest` to fetch from the most recently processed slot. The response lists each voluntary exit along with block inclusion metadata. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api/v1/bundled.yaml get /api/v1/slot/{slot}/voluntaryexits openapi: 3.0.4 info: title: beaconcha.in API Documentation license: name: GPL-3.0 url: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html description: >- > ⚠️ No new features or endpoints will be added to V1. We recommend the [V2 API](/api/overview) for all new projects. See the [migration guide](/api/v1-to-v2-migration). ## Introduction **Advanced and reliable API for accessing comprehensive Ethereum blockchain data.** - **Free Usage Policy:** The API is free to use under a fair use policy, with rate limits of 10 requests per minute per IP. - **Caching:** All responses are cached for 1 minute. - **Higher Usage Plans:** For higher usage plans, visit: [https://beaconcha.in/pricing](https://beaconcha.in/pricing). An API key is required to use these plans. ### API Key Usage API keys can be obtained at [/user/settings](https://beaconcha.in/user/settings) and must be included in requests either as a query string parameter or in the request header. #### Example: Query String Parameter ```bash curl https://beaconcha.in/api/v1/slot/1?apikey= ``` #### Example: Request Header ```bash curl -H 'apikey: ' https://beaconcha.in/api/v1/slot/1 ``` contact: {} version: '1.1' servers: - url: https://beaconcha.in description: Ethereum mainnet - url: https://hoodi.beaconcha.in description: Hoodi Ethereum testnet security: - ApiKeyAuthQuery: [] - ApiKeyAuthHeader: [] tags: - name: Epoch description: Data related to consensus layer epochs - name: Slots description: Data related to consensus layer slots - name: Validators description: Data related to consensus layer validators - name: Rewards description: Data related to validator rewards - name: Sync Committees description: Data related to sync committees - name: Rocketpool description: Data related to the rocketpool protocol - name: ETH.Store® description: Data related to the ETH.Store® metric - name: Validator deposits description: Data related to execution layer validator deposits - name: Blocks description: Data related to execution layer blocks - name: Gas description: Data related to gas prices - name: Address description: Data related to ethereum addresses - name: Network description: Network data - name: Misc description: Miscellaneous data - name: User description: User data - name: Machine Metrics description: Submit machine, beacon-node, and validator-client monitoring metrics paths: /api/v1/slot/{slot}/voluntaryexits: get: tags: - Slots summary: Voluntary exits for a slot description: >- Retrieve all voluntary exit operations included in the beacon block for a specific slot.
