Every call to an Alkemy API must include a Strategy ID and API Key. Contact [email protected] to receive your credentials. We generate a set of access credentials for every authorized Alkemy Developer account for use in Sandbox and Live environments. Use the steps on this page to start sending requests immediately.
If you get stuck at any point, help is just a click away! Ask other developers in our Discord community or submit a support ticket to [email protected]
API Access
| strategy_id | Private identifier for your strategy. If you have multiple strategies, you will receive multiple strategy Ids |
| X-API-Key | Private key, one for each of the two environments |
It's best practice to store your API keys in a .env file to prevent exposing your strategy's data to those who don't need to see it.
Environments
Sandbox
Sandbox is one of two Alkemy environments on which you can run your code, along with Live. Sandbox is a free test environment in which no real data can be used. The Sandbox environment also offers a number of special Sandbox-only capabilities to make testing easier.
Get started with test credentials and life-like data by making API calls to the following URL:
https://sandbox.api.alkemy.finance/1.0/webhook/health
Live
Live is one of two Alkemy environments on which you can run your code, along with Sandbox. While Sandbox are intended as test environments, Live is intended for production code. It uses real world data. Launch your strategy with unlimited live credentials.
