Ankr's Advanced API is a powerful tool for developers that streamlines access to blockchain data. This allows developers to build complex applications using RPC endpoints, but AAPI reduces development time and simplifies data access using Ankr's blockchain infrastructure. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use Ankr's Advanced API:

  1. Begin using Endpoint: In order to use Ankr's Advanced API, you will need to go to Check out the price of Ankr's Remote procedure call (RPC) on the Ankr platform. Once you have created an account, your keys will be accessible.

  2. API endpoint: Ankr's Advanced API offers each user a unique endpoint with many methods for developers to choose from. These methods include blockchain data, node management, and more. Choose a method that matches the functionality you need for your application.

  3. Build your API request: To use Ankr's Advanced API, you'll need to build an HTTP request that includes your API credentials, methods with parameters and the endpoint you want to access. You can use any programming language or tool that supports HTTP requests to build your request.

  4. Send your API request: Once you have built your API request, you can send it to Ankr's API server. If your request is successful, you'll receive a response from the server that includes the data you requested.

  5. Parse the API response: The response from Ankr's API server will be in JSON format, which you can easily parse using any programming language. Once you have parsed the response, you can use the data in your application or process it further.

  6. Handle errors: If your API request is unsuccessful, Ankr's API server will return an error response. You should handle these errors in your application to ensure that your code behaves appropriately in all scenarios.

  7. Secure your API credentials: Finally, it's important to keep your API credentials secure to prevent unauthorized access to your Ankr account. Make sure to store your credentials in a secure location and don't use endpoint on frontend without additional protection.

By following these steps, you can use Ankr's Advanced API to build powerful blockchain applications and automate processes using Ankr's infrastructure.
