Getting Started
Authentication
Most APIs require authentication via API keys. Generate your API key in the developer dashboard.
GET /api/v1/contracts
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
Example Request
This sample request retrieves transaction data for a specific address
curl "https://api.elixir.dev/web3/txns?address=0xABC..." \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_key" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
SDK Integration
JavaScript SDK
const { Web3 } = require('@elxir/web3-sdk');
const w3 = new Web3({
apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
network: 'polygon'
});
w3.contracts.getBalance('0xMyAddress').then(balance => {
console.log('Balance:', balance);
});
Python SDK
from elixir import Web3
w3 = Web3(api_key='YOUR_API_KEY', network='ethereum')
transactions = w3.account.get_transactions('0xMyAddress')
print(f'Found {len(transactions)} transactions')
Security Best Practices
Private Key Storage
- Use hardware security modules for production keys
- Never commit private keys to source control
Rate Limiting
1200 requests/minute for standard accounts. Enterprise plans available for higher throughput.
