Anime API Quickstart

How to get started building on Anime using Alchemy
Don't have an API key?

Build faster with production-ready APIs, smart wallets and rollup infrastructure across 70+ chains. Create your free Alchemy API key and get started today.

Animechain is a fast and secure blockchain built on Arbitrum, designed to support anime content and digital assets.

The Anime API allows interaction with the Anime 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.

Send Your First Request on Alchemy

Let’s use the viem package to create an Anime client connected to Alchemy and fetch the latest block number!

npm install --save viem

Create Client Connected to Alchemy

1import { createPublicClient, http, defineChain } from "viem";
2
3const anime = defineChain({
4 id: 69000,
5 name: "Anime",
6 nativeCurrency: { name: "Anime", symbol: "ANIME", decimals: 18 },
7 rpcUrls: {
8 default: { http: ["https://anime-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/v2/YOUR_ALCHEMY_API_KEY"] },
9 },
10});
11
12const client = createPublicClient({
13 chain: anime,
14 transport: http("https://anime-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/v2/YOUR_ALCHEMY_API_KEY"),
15});

Now that you’ve created a client connected to Alchemy, you can continue with some basics:

Get Latest Block Number

1const blockNumber = await client.getBlockNumber();
2console.log("Current block number:", blockNumber);

Get an Address Balance

1const balance = await client.getBalance({ address: "0xab5801a7d398351b8be11c439e05c5b3259aec9b" });
2console.log("Balance (ANIME):", Number(balance) / 1e18);

Read Block Data

1const block = await client.getBlock({
2 blockNumber: blockNumber, // from previous example
3});
4console.log(block);

Fetch a Transaction by Hash

1const tx = await client.getTransaction({ hash: "0xYOUR_TX_HASH" });
2console.log(tx);

Fetch Transaction Receipt

1const receipt = await client.getTransactionReceipt({
2 hash: "0xYOUR_TX_HASH"
3});
4console.log(receipt);
