Authentication

At this stage no authentication is required to use the API up to 3 requests/sec. If you need more, see below on how to increase your rate limit using an API key.

Rate Limits

Up to 3 requests/sec is free. Need more? Please create a free account on the TAAL Platformand view the available subscription plans there. We offer packages with 10 requests/sec, 20 requests/sec, or custom Enterprise plans.

Once you get your API key from the Platform, here is a usage example:

curl -H 'Authorization: mainnet_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' \

Please make sure to replace mainnet_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with your actual API key.
