What problem does it solve?
This Skill provides a clear, enforceable integration guide for making authenticated Alchemy API calls so developers can reliably query blockchain data (balances, NFTs, transfers, prices, webhooks) without misconfiguring endpoints, leaking keys, or misusing unauthenticated fallbacks.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Mandatory routing gate that asks whether to use an API key or the agentic gateway and prevents any network calls before confirmation.
- Endpoint and auth cheat sheet for EVM JSON-RPC, Solana RPC, NFT, Prices, Portfolio, and Notify APIs with base URLs and header requirements.
- Pagination, limits, and retry guidance including pageKey usage, maxCount constraints, and exponential backoff with jitter for rate limits.
- Troubleshooting and failure modes covering JSON-RPC error handling, webhook signature verification, and common misconfigurations.
- Use Case: Build a bot that fetches multi-chain token balances, retrieves NFT ownership and metadata, and creates address activity webhooks with robust pagination and retry logic.
Quick Start
Use the alchemy-api skill to run an authenticated request that fetches token balances and NFT ownership for a target address using your exported ALCHEMY_API_KEY.
