Recursion

An important exception to sandboxing is recursion: access to ord's /content endpoint is permitted, allowing inscriptions to access the content of other inscriptions by requesting /content/<INSCRIPTION_ID>.

This has a number of interesting use-cases:

• Remixing the content of existing inscriptions.

• Publishing snippets of code, images, audio, or stylesheets as shared public resources.

• Generative art collections where an algorithm is inscribed as JavaScript, and instantiated from multiple inscriptions with unique seeds.

• Generative profile picture collections where accessories and attributes are inscribed as individual images, or in a shared texture atlas, and then combined, collage-style, in unique combinations in multiple inscriptions.

A few other endpoints that inscriptions may access are the following:

• /blockheight: latest block height.
• /blockhash: latest block hash.
• /blockhash/<HEIGHT>: block hash at given block height.
• /blocktime: UNIX time stamp of latest block.
