Quickstart

Fetch your first multichain balances in under a minute.

1. Create an API key

Head to the API Keys page and create a key. Copy it immediately — it's shown only once.

2. Call the Balances endpoint

curl "https://chainkit.ai/v1/balances/0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045?chains=ethereum,base" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer thw_live_xxxxxxxx"

3. Read the response

You get normalized balances plus credit and rate-limit headers on every response.

{
  "address": "0xd8dA...96045",
  "totalUsd": "4756.05",
  "balances": [
    { "chain": "ethereum", "asset": "ETH", "amount": "1.245", "valueUsd": "4756.05" }
  ],
  "errors": []
}
X-Credits-Charged: 25
X-Credits-Remaining: 9975
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 29

That's it. Next, see the full Balances reference for every parameter and field.
