Avalanche C-Chain Onchain Data API

Overview

Avalanche is an open-source platform for launching decentralized applications and enterprise blockchain deployments in one interoperable, highly scalable ecosystem. Avalanche is the first smart contracts platform that processes 4,500+ transactions/second and instantly confirms transactions. Ethereum developers can quickly build on Avalanche as Solidity works out-of-the-box. A key difference between Avalanche and other decentralized networks is the consensus protocol. Over time, people have come to a false understanding that blockchains have to be slow and not scalable. The Avalanche protocol employs a novel approach to consensus to achieve its strong safety guarantees, quick finality, and high-throughput, without compromising decentralization.

GoldRush offers the most comprehensive Avalanche C-Chain Data API suite for developers, analysts, and enterprises. Whether you’re building a DeFi dashboard, a wallet, a trading bot, an AI agent or a compliance platform, our Avalanche C-Chain Data APIs provide fast, accurate, and developer-friendly access to the essential onchain data you need.

Example API Calls

curl -X GET "https://api.covalenthq.com/v1/avalanche-mainnet/address/0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045/balances_v2/?key=<GOLDRUSH_API_KEY>"

SDK Usage

import { GoldRushClient } from "@covalenthq/client-sdk";

const client = new GoldRushClient("<GOLDRUSH_API_KEY>");
const resp = await client.BalanceService.getTokenBalancesForWalletAddress({
    chainName: "avalanche-mainnet",
    walletAddress: "0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045"
});

Foundational API Support

This chain supports 23 GoldRush Foundational APIs:

Wallet API

Block Explorer API

Internal Transactions (`with-internal`)

Avalanche C-Chain supports internal transactions (traces). The Transactions API endpoints marked with-input-data with-internal above accept the with-internal=true query parameter, which includes internal transactions (the value transfers triggered by contract execution that are not recorded as standalone onchain transactions) in the response.

Internal transactions are included in the response by passing with-internal and cost 0.05 credits/item.

Example API Call

Recent transactions with internal transactions

curl -X GET "https://api.covalenthq.com/v1/avalanche-mainnet/address/0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045/transactions_v3/?with-internal=true&key=<GOLDRUSH_API_KEY>"
