Data Indexing API (suspended)
Shiden Quick Facts
The Shiden Network is a scalable and interoperable infrastructure for Web3.0. Since the Shiden Network is built with Parity’s Substrate framework, it can be a future Kusama parachain that also acts as a scalable smart contract platform. The Kusama Relaychain, by design, does not support smart contracts. This allows the Shiden Network the opportunity to fill in this gap. Scalability is obviously one of the most crucial demands dApp developers have. Ideally, the developers can build whatever applications on the Shiden Network without having to consider its scalability. The Shiden Network is built on the Kusama parent chain.

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.

Processing:
npm install @covalenthq/client-sdk
import { CovalentClient } from "@covalenthq/client-sdk"; const ApiServices = async () => { const client = new CovalentClient("YOUR_API_KEY"); const resp = await client.BalanceService.getTokenBalancesForWalletAddress(); console.log(resp.data); }
This network is suspended.
