GoldRush SDK for TypeScript

The GoldRush SDK is the fastest way to integrate the GoldRush API for working with blockchain data. The SDK works with all supported chains including Mainnets and Testnets.

Use with NodeJS v18 or above for best results.

The GoldRush API is required. You can register for a free key on GoldRush's website

Using the SDK

You can also follow the video tutorial

1. Install the dependencies

   npm install @covalenthq/client-sdk

2. Create a client using the GoldRushClient

   import { GoldRushClient, Chains } from "@covalenthq/client-sdk";
   
   const client = new GoldRushClient("<YOUR_API_KEY>");
   
   const ApiServices = async () => {
     try {
       const balanceResp =
         await client.BalanceService.getTokenBalancesForWalletAddress(
           "eth-mainnet",
           "demo.eth"
         );
   
       if (balanceResp.error) {
         throw balanceResp;
       }
   
       console.log(balanceResp.data);
     } catch (error) {
       console.error(error);
     }
   };

   The GoldRushClient can be configured with a second object argument, settings. The settings offered are

   1. debug: A boolean that enables server logs of the API calls, enhanced with the request URL, response time and code, and other settings. It is set as false by default.
   2. threadCount: A number that sets the number of concurrent requests allowed. It is set as 2 by default.
   3. enableRetry: A boolean that enables retrying the API endpoint in case of a 429 - rate limit error. It is set as true by default.
   4. maxRetries: A number that sets the number of retries to be made in case of 429 - rate limit error. To be in effect, it requires enableRetry to be enabled. It is set as 2 by default.
   5. retryDelay: A number that sets the delay in ms for retrying the API endpoint in case of 429 - rate limit error. To be in effect, it requires enableRetry to be enabled. It is set as 2 by default.
   6. source: A string that defines the source of the request of better analytics.

Features

1. Name Resolution

The GoldRush SDK natively resolves the underlying wallet address for the following

1. ENS Domains (e.g. demo.eth)
2. Lens Handles (e.g. demo.lens)
3. Unstoppable Domains (e.g. demo.x)
4. RNS Domains (e.g. demo.ron)

2. Query Parameters

All the API call arguments have an option to pass typed objects as Query parameters.

For example, the following sets the quoteCurrency query parameter to CAD and the parameter nft to true for fetching all the token balances, including NFTs, for a wallet address:

const resp = await client.BalanceService.getTokenBalancesForWalletAddress(
  "eth-mainnet",
  "demo.eth",
  {
    quoteCurrency: "CAD",
    nft: true,
  }
);

3. Exported Types

All the interfaces used, for arguments, query parameters and responses are also exported from the package which can be used for custom usage.

For example, explicitly typecasting the response

import {
  GoldRushClient,
  type BalancesResponse,
  type BalanceItem,
} from "@covalenthq/client-sdk";

const resp = await client.BalanceService.getTokenBalancesForWalletAddress(
  "eth-mainnet",
  "demo.eth",
  {
    quoteCurrency: "CAD",
    nft: true,
  }
);

const data: BalancesResponse = resp.data;
const items: BalanceItem[] = resp.data.items;

4. Multiple Chain input formats

The SDK supports the following formats for the chain input:

1. Chain Name (e.g. eth-mainnet)
2. Chain ID (e.g. 1)
3. Chain Name Enum (e.g. ChainName.ETH_MAINNET)
4. Chain ID Enum (e.g. ChainID.ETH_MAINNET)

5. Additional Non-Paginated methods

For paginated responses, the GoldRush API can at max support 100 items per page. However, the Covalent SDK leverages generators to seamlessly fetch all items without the user having to deal with pagination.

For example, the following fetches ALL transactions for demo.eth on Ethereum:

import { GoldRushClient } from "@covalenthq/client-sdk";

const ApiServices = async () => {
  const client = new GoldRushClient("<YOUR_API_KEY>");
  try {
    for await (const tx of client.TransactionService.getAllTransactionsForAddress(
      "eth-mainnet",
      "demo.eth"
    )) {
      console.log("tx", tx);
    }
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(error.message);
  }
};

6. Executable pagination functions

Paginated methods have been enhanced with the introduction of next() and prev() support functions. These functions facilitate a smoother transition for developers navigating through our links object, which includes prev and next fields. Instead of requiring developers to manually extract values from these fields and create JavaScript API fetch calls for the URL values, the new next() and prev() functions provide a streamlined approach, allowing developers to simulate this behavior more efficiently.

import { GoldRushClient } from "@covalenthq/client-sdk";

const client = new GoldRushClient("<YOUR_API_KEY>");
const resp = await client.TransactionService.getAllTransactionsForAddressByPage(
  "eth-mainnet",
  "demo.eth"
); // assuming resp.data.current_page is 10
if (resp.data !== null) {
  const prevPage = await resp.data.prev(); // will retrieve page 9
  console.log(prevPage.data);
}

7. Utility Functions

1. bigIntParser: Formats input as a bigint value. For example

   bigIntParser("-123"); // -123n

   You can explore more examples here

2. calculatePrettyBalance: Formats large and raw numbers and bigints to human friendly format. For example

   calculatePrettyBalance(1.5, 3, true, 4); // "0.0015"

   You can explore more examples here

3. isValidApiKey: Checks for the input as a valid GoldRush API Key. For example

   isValidApiKey(cqt_wF123); // false

   You can explore more examples here

4. prettifyCurrency: Formats large and raw numbers and bigints to human friendly currency format. For example

   prettifyCurrency(89.0, 2, "CAD"); // "CA$89.00"

   You can explore more examples here

5. timestampParser: Convert ISO timestamps to various human-readable formats

   timestampParser("2024-10-16T12:39:23.000Z", "descriptive"); // "October 16 2024 at 18:09:23"

   You can explore more examples here

8. Standardized (Error) Responses

All the responses are of the same standardized format

❴
    "data": <object>,
    "error": <boolean>,
    "error_message": <string>,
    "error_code": <number>
