Moonbeam Quick Facts
Moonbeam is an Ethereum-compatible smart contract parachain on Polkadot. Moonbeam is much more than just an EVM implementation: it’s a highly specialized Layer 1.5 chain that mirrors Ethereum’s Web3 RPC, accounts, keys, subscriptions, logs, and more. The Moonbeam platform extends the base Ethereum feature set with additional features such as on-chain governance, staking, and cross-chain integrations.

FAQ
These FAQs are a self-serve support resource for the Covalent API.
Base URL
The API Host for all requests is https://api.covalenthq.com/v1
. Some additional points to keep in mind:
- All requests are done over HTTPS (calls over plain HTTP will fail.)
- The default return format for all endpoints is JSON unless the query parameter
format=csv
is specified. - All requests require authentication.
Authentication
To access the Covalent API, you will need an API key. Various authentication mechanisms are available:
Authentication via Query parameter
curl -X GET https://api.covalenthq.com/v1/ENDPOINT/?key=API_KEY
Append key=API_KEY
as a query parameter to all requests.
Authentication via Basic Auth
curl -X GET https://api.covalenthq.com/v1/ENDPOINT/ \ -u API_KEY: -H 'Content-Type: application/json' # The colon prevents curl from asking for a password.
Provide your API key as the basic auth username. You do not need to provide a password.
