API keys & Providers

honestnft-shenanigans aggregates data from multiple sources and most sources require an API key or some extra configuration.

Blockchain RPC endpoint (web3 providers)

Note

We added public web3 providers to the .env-example so you can get started right away. If you run into issues or rate-limiting, you might need to set up a private endpoint.

You will need a web3 provider for each blockchain you want to use. Most providers have a free tier that should be enough for our use-case. Some examples are:

• Alchemy

• Infura

IPFS gateway

The default gateway is set to https://dweb.link/ipfs/, but can be changed if necessary. A list of public gateways can be found on the IPFS Public Gateway Checker.

Note

When you click on one of the gateways, you might be redirected to a long URL. Please note that only the hostname + /ipfs/ part is necessary. E.g.

Correct: gateway.ipfs.io/ipfs/
Wrong: gateway.ipfs.io/ipfs/bafybeifx7yeb55armcsxwwitkymga5xf53dxiarykms3ygqic223w5sk3m#x-ipfs-companion-no-redirect

In some cases a private gateway can lead to faster downloads.
