Frequently Asked Questions.

Difference between BscScan's APIs and Etherscan V2 APIs ?

BscScan's APIs are a set of free, community tier endpoints for basic explorer data.

Etherscan V2 APIs are multichain, extended endpoints with higher rate limits for BNB Smart Chain and 50+ other supported chains.

Can the same API keys be used across different explorers?

BscScan's API keys can only be used for the BscScan explorer.

For a multichain API key, we recommended using Etherscan V2.

Which networks are API PRO endpoints applicable to?

The additional endpoints available under any API PRO subscription are only available to the BNB Smart Chain mainnet, and not supported on the testnet.

My API keys are not working, what can I do?

A technical glitch may have occurred in the key creation process. In this case, try deleting the key and generating a new one ✨

If the issue still persists after using a freshly generated key, do reach out for us to have a closer look.
