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.
