ADI API Quickstart

To use the ADI API you’ll need to create a free Alchemy account first!

Introduction

ADI Network is an EVM-compatible Layer 2 that leverages cryptographic Zero-Knowledge validity proofs (ZKPs) to ensure both security and efficiency in transaction processing. ADI is enabling seamless integration between traditional finance, crypto ecosystems, and regulated markets.

What is the ADI API?

The ADI API allows interaction with the ADI network through a set of JSON-RPC methods. Its design is familiar to developers who have worked with Ethereum’s JSON-RPC APIs, making it intuitive and straightforward to use.

Getting Started Instructions

1. Choose a Package Manager (npm or yarn)

Select a package manager to manage your project’s dependencies. Choose between npm and yarn based on your preference or project requirements.

$
# Begin with npm by following the npm documentation
>
# https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm

2. Set Up Your Project

Open your terminal and execute the following commands to create and initialize your project:

$
mkdir adi-api-quickstart
>
cd adi-api-quickstart
>
npm init --yes

This creates a new directory named adi-api-quickstart and initializes a Node.js project within it.

3. Make Your First Request

Install Axios, a popular HTTP client, to make API requests:

$
npm install axios

Create an index.js file in your project directory and paste the following code:

1
const axios = require('axios');
2
3
const url = 'https://adi-testnet.g.alchemy.com/v2/${your-api-key}';
4
5
const payload = {
6
  jsonrpc: '2.0',
7
  id: 1,
8
  method: 'eth_blockNumber',
9
  params: []
10
};
11
12
axios.post(url, payload)
13
  .then(response => {
14
    console.log('Latest Block:', response.data.result);
15
  })
16
  .catch(error => {
17
    console.error(error);
18
  });

Remember to replace your-api-key with your actual Alchemy API key that you can get from your Alchemy dashboard.

4. Run Your Script

Execute your script to make a request to the ADI network:

$
node index.js

You should see the latest block information from ADI’s network outputted to your console:

$
Latest Block: 0x...

Next Steps

Congratulations! You’ve made your first request to the ADI network. You can now explore the various JSON-RPC methods available on ADI and start building your dApps on this innovative platform.
