The API Key

Visit Amberdata.io and select the developer plan to get started!

Once you've got your key, place it in a file named .env — see env.example for reference.

Then in you code you can use it like so:

const web3Data = new Web3Data(process.env.API_KEY)

Installation

Using npm:

npm install web3data-js

Using CDN:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/web3data-js/dist/web3data.min.js"></script>

Getting Started

Check out the Quick Start documentation to get started.

Usage

import Web3Data from 'web3data-js'

const w3d = new Web3Data('<api-key>')

;( async () => {
     const contract = await w3d.contract.getDetails("0x06012c8cf97bead5deae237070f9587f8e7a266d")
     console.log(contract) // { ... }
})()

Websockets

import Web3Data from 'web3data-js'

const w3d = new Web3Data('<api-key>')

w3d.connect(status => {
  console.log('status ->', status.type)
})
w3d.on({eventName: 'block'}, data => {
  console.log(data)
})
