Everything you use from Ethers - and way more

Our SDK extends Ethers.js provider, allowing you to access all the node methods you already know. However, the real magic is everything else you get for free.

Alchemy Scale and Reliability

All your requests use Alchemy’s best-in-class infrastructure that powers 70% of top dApps - meaning your requests will always succeed when you need them. Plus, you’ll get 10 million free requests every month.

NFT and Enhanced APIs

Get easy-to-use access to all of Alchemy’s Enhanced APIs with only a single line of code, including Alchemy’s coveted NFT API and Websockets. What used to take hours now takes seconds.

Multichain support

If it runs on an EVM, we support it. Access your Polygon, Optimism, Arbitrum, and Starkware nodes using the same interface and one simple config.

Quality of Life Improvements

Automatic retries? Exponential backoff? Timeout handling? Automatic query typing? The Alchemy SDK is 10x easier than calling our APIs directly.

How the Alchemy SDK Works

Dozens of lines of code are reduced to a single request - let’s take a look at how easy your life will be with the Alchemy SDK.

Get Metadata for NFTs

Grabbing NFT metadata usually requires developers to read and parse individual smart contracts, then sort through a sea of irregular data. The Alchemy NFT API and SDK makes this a one-line request.

Get Asset Transfers

Want to view historical transfers to or from a particular address? Get ready to scan the entire blockchain - unless you’re using Alchemy’s Enhanced APIs. We cache and return to you every transfer by an account in milliseconds.

websockets

Subscribe to Pending Transactions

By opening a WebSocket connection, Alchemy’s SDK will send you an event every time a pending transaction is sent to or from a certain address.
