Developer Guide
"Comprehensive documentation for building on the Elld.io platform"
Welcome to the Developer Guide
This guide provides all the information you need to integrate with Elld.ld's API and develop using our decentralized framework. New developers should start with the "Getting Started" section.

Platform Overview
Architecture
Elld.ld uses a modular blockchain framework with smart contract verification and AI-powered content moderation. Our API supports both REST and GraphQL endpoints.
Security
All transactions are encrypted with AES-256-GCM and verified with SHA-3 cryptographic hashing. Our infrastructure is SOC 2 Type II compliant.
Developer Tools
Access our SDKs for Python, JavaScript, and Rust. We provide auto-generated API clients for rapid integration with our platform.
Getting Started
1. Create Account
Register for a developer account at developers.elld.ld to get API credentials.
curl -X POST https://api.elld.ld/v1/auth/register
2. Install SDK
npm install @elldld/python-sdk
Python
npm install @elldld/js-sdk
JavaScript
cargo add elldld-sdk
Rust
3. First API Call
import elldld
client = elldld.Client(api_key="your-api-key")
response = client.get_latest_posts()
print(json.dumps(response, indent=2))
Use our API Explorer tool in the Developer Dashboard to test endpoints visually.
Core Concepts
Content Verification
Our AI verification system automatically analyzes content for plagiarism and factual accuracy. You can request re-evaluation of flagged content through the API.
POST /content/verify
{'hash': 'sha3-256', 'category': 'technology'}
Smart Contracts
Use our domain-specific language Elld.Contract to write secure blockchain operations. Smart contract templates are available in the Developer Portal.
contract MyContract {
function validate(data) requires verified_content(data) {
return hash(data) + signature
}
}
API Reference
Endpoints
Request Example
GET https://api.elld.ld/v1/content
Authorization: Bearer your-token
Accept: application/json
{
"success": true,
"posts": [
{
"id": "a1b2c3",
"title": "Introduction to Quantum..."
}
]
}
Best Practices
Content Caching
Implement client-side caching with ETag validation to reduce API load. Use our recommended TTL values:
- Posts: 5 minutes
- User data: 30 minutes
Error Handling
try {
response = elldld.get_post(id)
} catch (error) {
if (error.code === 429) {
// Implement exponential backoff
await timeout(2^retry_count * 100)
}
}
Always implement retry mechanisms with jitter for rate-limited requests. Our API provides retry-after headers in throttle responses.
