Getting Started

1

Create your account

To begin, create your free AvaCloud account by visiting AvaCloud.

2

Get an API Key

Once the account is created:

1. Navigating to Web3 Data API
2. Click on Add API Key
3. Set an alias and click on create
4. Copy the the value

Always keep your API keys in a secure environment. Never expose them in public repositories, such as GitHub, or share them with unauthorized individuals. Compromised API keys can lead to unauthorized access and potential misuse of your account.

3

Make a query

With your API Key you can start making queries, for example to get the latest block on the C-chain(43114):

  curl --location 'https://glacier-api.avax.network/v1/chains/43114/blocks' \
  --header 'accept: application/json' \
  --header 'x-glacier-api-key: <YOUR-API-KEY>' \

And you should see something like this:
