Individually, this information is available from the following: * [Order book API](/cow-protocol/reference/apis/orderbook) (off-chain) * CoW Protocol Subgraph (on-chain) Switching between these tools, and reading raw JSON data is better suited for computers, not humans. To make it easier to view the current state of CoW Protocol, we've built a tool that combines the two, providing a convenient and holistic view of the current state of CoW Protocol. Enter the [CoW Explorer](#cow-explorer) 🐮🔎. ## CoW Explorer [CoW Explorer](https://explorer.cow.fi) is an "[Etherscan](https://etherscan.io)"-like interface for the CoW Protocol. It allows users to visualize the orders they have placed on the protocol, as well as the orders that have been executed, across all networks that the protocol is deployed on. Users may search for: * Order details by [`orderID`](/cow-protocol/tutorials/cow-explorer/order) * Orders placed by a specific [user's address](/cow-protocol/tutorials/cow-explorer/address) * Orders settled by a specific [batch auction's `transactionHash`](/cow-protocol/tutorials/cow-explorer/batch-auction) Example of CoW Protocol Explorer
