Introducing the Cronos zkEVM Developers Portal
We have developed the Cronos Developer APIs to empower developers with access to Cronos zkEVM blockchain data and services via GET/POST requests.
We are pleased to introduce the Cronos zkEVM Developers Portal, a comprehensive resource designed to accelerate the development of decentralized applications (dapps) on the Cronos zkEVM blockchain.
This portal provides direct access to the Developer API, offering developers the power to query blockchain data, verify smart contracts, and build sophisticated applications with ease.
Whether you're building a dapp, a game, or analysing data, the Cronos zkEVM Developers Portal is your one-stop solution for all the data you need.
Developer API Access
At the heart of the Cronos zkEVM Developers Portal is the Developer API documentation, which offers access to the blockchain explorer's APIs. These APIs empower developers to efficiently query blockchain data using GET/POST requests. Available data includes:
Accounts data: Balance, transaction history, internal transactions
Blocks data: Block details
Contracts data: ABI, source code, verification submissions, and status
ETH proxy: Proxy for commonly used zkEVM RPC endpoints
Logs data: Log details
Tokens data: Account balance for tokens, total supply for tokens
Transactions data: Transaction status
The Developer API provides real-time data, ensuring that your applications have access to the most current information. Typically updated within a few minutes, this data enhances the performance and reliability of your dapps.
Getting Started With the Cronos zkEVM Developer API
To get started with the Cronos zkEVM developer API, simply register an account on the Account Registration page in Cronos zkEVM developer portal, where you can access a pair of mainnet and testnet API keys on the user dashboard. You can then access the developer API service and use it to retrieve data from the available endpoints.
The Developer API service is well-documented with comprehensive guides and examples to help you get started quickly. The documentation provides information on making requests, parsing responses, and using the various endpoints, as well as access to a range of data on the Cronos zkEVM, including accounts, blocks, contracts, transactions, logs, tokens, statistics, and more.
For more detailed information, refer to the Cronos zkEVM API documentation.
The Cronos zkEVM Developer API supports any programming language that can make HTTP requests, offering the flexibility to choose your preferred development environment, whether it's JavaScript, Python, Java, or any other language. To ensure fair usage and prevent abuse, the Cronos zkEVM Developer API enforces a rate limit of 50,000 calls per day. This limit is sufficient for application development, though it may not be adequate for intensive and sustained production use.
With your API key in hand and the Developer API documentation as your guide, you’ll have all the necessary tools to create innovative solutions on the Cronos zkEVM chain.
