API Keys

Updated this week

Routescan provides powerful APIs to access blockchain data across more than 180 EVM networks. We strive to keep blockchain data accessible with flexible API plans designed for all types of developers and users—from those just getting started to teams with advanced needs.

Free Tier — No API Key Required

Our free tier allows you to access blockchain data without needing an API key at all. This tier supports up to 2 requests per second (rps) and a daily limit of 10,000 calls, making it perfect for developers or users starting out or working on projects with moderate API usage.

  • Normally, requests will go through even without any placeholders.

  • In some special cases or integrations, you may need to include placeholders in query parameters or config files where a key parameter is expected. You can use any API key value in query parameters: &apikey=placeholder. Or in configs: apiKey: { routescan: "placeholder", }.

ℹ️ Important note: Not all chains are available under the free tier, and some chains may not be fully indexed, which could result in incomplete data. For the most current information on free tier access and indexing, see our free plan chain list.

Paid Plans

For higher usage demands, access to all indexed chains, and premium features such as priority support and the /all parameter (which fetches data across multiple chains in one request), we offer paid plans.

With one API key, you can:

  • Access all supported blockchain networks we index.

  • Use the /all parameter to retrieve data across all supported chains (exclusive to paid plans).

  • Benefit from increased rate limits and higher daily call volumes.

  • Simplify development with seamless multichain integration.

  • Use our priority support whenever you require assistance.

Custom plans with tailored limits and features are also available. Contact us at hello@routescan.io for more details.

Routescan API plans

Use API key

Since no sign-up or API key is needed for the free tier, you can start issuing API requests at any moment.

For paid tier API requests add the following to the end of a query to use your API key: &apikey=<API_key>. For example, a query to get the aggregated total amount of all transactions on supported Mainnet chains in one API request would be formatted as follows: https://api.routescan.io/v2/network/mainnet/evm/all/aggregations/txs/tot?apiKey=<API_key>.

ℹ️ If you want to send a request to a specific blockchain — visit chain list page for detailed information about all supported Chain IDs.
