Get started
Make your first Routescan API request in seconds. No sign-up or API key is required for free-tier access.
Base URL
Every request targets a specific network and chain:
text
1https://api.routescan.io/v2/network/{network}/evm/{chainId}/...
{network}:mainnetortestnet.{chainId}: the numeric chain id (for example1for Ethereum,43114for Avalanche C-Chain), orallto aggregate across every chain. Routescan currently indexes 35 EVM chains.
Quick start
No sign-up or API key is required for free-tier access. The following request returns the native balance of an address on Ethereum:
bash
1curl "https://api.routescan.io/v2/network/mainnet/evm/1/etherscan/api\
2?module=account&action=balance\
3&address=0xde0b295669a9fd93d5f28d9ec85e40f4cb697bae&tag=latest"
Next steps
- API keys & pricing: get an API key and send it in the
apikeyheader. - Rate limits: free-tier caps and how to handle exceeding them.
- Migrate from Etherscan: move an existing integration over.
- API reference: every endpoint, with an interactive Try it panel.
