API keys & pricing

Every Routescan API request counts against two caps set by your plan: a rate limit (requests per second) and a daily call limit. There are two free tiers:

- Free (Keyless) — no account or API key needed. Start calling immediately at 2 req/s and 10,000 calls/day.
- Free (Registered) — sign up for a free API key to raise the caps to 5 req/s and 100,000 calls/day, 10× the daily volume at no cost.

Free (Keyless)

You can call the APIs straight away with no key. The free tier is capped per second and per day, see Rate limits for the current caps.

Using an API key

Once you have a key, pass it in the request header:

bash
1curl -H "apikey: YourApiKeyToken" \
2 "https://api.routescan.io/v2/network/mainnet/evm/1/etherscan/api?module=account&action=balance&address=0xde0b295669a9fd93d5f28d9ec85e40f4cb697bae"
  • Send the key in the apikey HTTP header, never embed it in client-side code you ship to users.
  • The same key works across every chain and both the High-speed and Etherscan-compatible APIs.

Getting a key

  1. Pick a plan below that matches your throughput needs.
  2. Complete checkout to generate your API key.
  3. Send the key in the apikey header on every request.

API plans

One API key works across every chain Routescan indexes and both the High-speed and Etherscan-compatible APIs. A paid plan adds:

  • Access to every chain Routescan indexes.*
  • The all chain id to query across all supported chains in one request.
  • Higher rate limits, larger daily call volumes and priority support.
  • Seamless multichain integration from a single key.

Requests work even without a key. A placeholder is only needed for integrations that require a key field, you can use any value, for example &apikey=placeholder or apiKey: { routescan: "placeholder" }.

Manage keys and subscriptions in your Profile Settings, or in the billing portal (log in with your email and a one-time passcode). Need custom limits? Email hello@routescan.io.
