You read that right, not one but two blockchains just launched on the Amberdata platform! We are happy to announce that just like our previous announcements — Bitcoin, Litecoin — our lineup of services is fully available supporting Websockets, REST, RPC and market data!
Use multiple blockchains without building many different integrations. No syncing required, no cli, no protocol learning curve, no dev-ops or server management. Get started quickly and easily!
0. Get Latest Blocks & Transactions
1. Get Account Balances
2. Get Multiple Account Balances
3. Get Websocket Events
4. Connect to multiple RPC
NOTE: While it is possible to do all the above examples in direct requests without a library, it is faster and simple to show code with the SDK.
Go to Amberdata.io to Get Started.
Using the following code, we are able to configure requests for Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV using a simple namespace variable. This configures the x-amberdata-blockchain-id under the hood, and instantiates all available methods. Click here to edit example →
The portfolio and address data is by far the most valuable information available. This is accessible either with individual address requests, or by passing multiple addresses and getting many balances at once. Click here to edit example →
Now we’re ready for the fun part! Here’s an example of getting a portfolio for a hypothetical user that has cryptocurrency holdings in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash & Bitcoin SV. This example shows how it’s possible to get the crypto balances as well as the current market value for each. BONUS — There are also some Ethereum Tokens holdings as well! 🙌
Who said data has to be stale? Let’s look at an example of how to listen to transactions from 5 blockchains at once:
Connecting to a blockchain node directly requires a complicated setup, but no more! Here’s another powerful example of how to call RPC methods to several blockchains, and since we have the SDK its only a few lines of code:
And that’s it! Hope you enjoyed this deep dive into how to access multi-blockchain data.
For ongoing development, we’ve created a postman collection that covers all of our features and utilizes simple parameters so you can focus on building. Click here to download the collection directly, or go here for tons of resources:
