Ethplorer API

alexesnsk edited this page Oct 3, 2024 · 140 revisions

Ethplorer’s API can be used to query information about Ethereum tokens, balances, addresses, history of transactions, contracts, and custom structures.

The same API is available for the list of supported chains.

For tracking many addresses at once, consider using the Bulk API Monitor.

There is no warranty for provided data. By using Ethplorer code, APIs, or widgets, you hereby agree with the Terms of Usage and Privacy Policy.

The API service is offered for free, but you are required to place references to the Ethplorer API on your website. Alternatively, you can use Ethplorer’s direct links to transactions or addresses.

API Key Limits

Freekey limits

The free API key for development purposes is freekey. It is not recommended for production use.

Please do not overload the servers. See fair usage limits below:

Requests are limited to 2 per second, 30/min, 200/hour, 1000/24hours, 3000/week.
Max number of transactions/operations in response: 100
Max allowed timestamp age: 30 days

Personal key limits

Only a single API key should be used per project. Creating several keys to exceed the limits violates our policy. For tracking many addresses, use the Bulk API.

To get a free personal API key, please sign up for an Ethplorer account and visit the API Panel section.

See personal API key usage limits below:

Requests per second: 10
Max number of transactions/operations in response: 1000
Max allowed timestamp age: 1 year

API Index

Supported chains

Ethplorer exposes the same endpoints and API Keys for all explorers Ethereum Mainnet, BNB Chain explorer, Blast explorer, Linea explorer and testnets at different base addresses.

For the blockchains other than Ethereum, consider ETH as it's own gas token in endpoints and responses. (BNB for BNB Chain, etc)
