KaiaScan OAPI

Introduction​

Welcome to the Kaiascan OAPI documentation.

Kaiascan is the leading platform for exploring and searching data on the Kaia network.

To provide open access to blockchain data, we’ve developed the Kaiascan OAPI, allowing developers to directly access Kaiascan's block explorer and services.

The OAPI is available as a community resource, provided without any guarantees. We encourage responsible and efficient usage to ensure fair access for all.

API Endpoints​

You can select from a variety of OAPI endpoints that allow you to query the necessary data while keeping your focus on developing your app.

Kaiascan provides two types of API plans: a set of free community endpoints and several types of paid OAPIs, which offers extended blockchain data.

  • Note: Our free API endpoints return a maximum of 500 records per call.

About Our API Usage and Credit-Based System​

Our new API service operates on a credit-based system, different from the traditional call-based model. In this system, each API call will still be counted as a single request, but the number of credits consumed per call will vary depending on the type of data being accessed.

Credits vs. Calls​

While you make API calls as usual, the cost in credits per call depends on the data requested. For example:

  • Accessing Data A may cost 1 credit.
  • Accessing Data B may cost 5 credits.
  • Accessing Data D may cost 10 credits.

Daily Credit Limit​

The n API credits/day limit refers to the total credits you can use in a day, not the number of calls you can make. This means:

  • If your daily limit is 100 credits, you can make up to 100 calls for Data A (1 credit per call).
  • Alternatively, you could make only 10 calls for Data D (10 credits per call).
  • Or, you could make a combination, such as 50 calls for Data A and 5 calls for Data D.

Managing Your Usage​

To avoid running out of credits, plan your usage according to the credit cost of the data you need. Always refer to the API documentation for the specific credit cost of each data type to optimize your usage.

For more details on the credit cost for different data types, please refer to the endpoint credit table.

Getting Started​

The Kaia blockchain contains a vast amount of data that can be extracted and utilized.

To help you get started, we've created this API doc introducing you to our endpoints and what data you can get from them.
