API Suite Dashboard

Overview

The Overview tab allows you to manage and access all resources related to the API endpoints. It provides the following features:

• Track your compute unit usage and monthly allocation based on your current plan.
• Test the full suite of endpoints using a free API key.
• Access the REST API URL and the CURL command to test all available endpoints for the selected protocol.
• Discover SDK clients to use the Blockdaemon API suite seamlessly.
• Find resources to help you get started and get the support you need.

Manage API Keys

🚧

Note

This option is only available to paid users.

Manage your API Suite plan by adding products to new keys and using your free keys to test new products indefinitely.

• Key names must be unique.
• Key names must be at least 3 characters long.
• Only alphanumeric characters and spaces are allowed.
• The "Select Product(s)" will only show products you have purchased.

Live keys will be listed and can be edited or removed at any time.

API Key Access Restrictions

You can optionally restrict which requests are allowed to use a key by configuring one or more of the following allowlists.

• Allowed IP Addresses: Limit key usage to specific CIDR range (e.g. 10.0.0.1/32). Requests from any IP not on the list will be blocked.
• Allowed Origins: Limit key usage to specific values of the Origin request header (e.g. https://myapp.com). Useful when your key is used from a browser-based frontend.
• Allowed User Agents: Limit key usage to specific values of the User-Agent request header (e.g. MyApp/2.1). Useful when your key is used from a known internal service or SDK.

📘

Note

Each field supports a maximum of 10 entries. Leaving a field empty means no restriction is applied for that criteria — all values will be accepted.

API Key Expiry Date

You can optionally set an expiry date on any API key. Once the expiry date is reached, the key will be automatically deactivated by the gateway and can no longer be used to authenticate requests. API keys expire at midnight UTC at the end of the selected expiry date.

Setting an expiry date is optional. Keys with no expiry date remain active until manually deleted.

📘

Note

You will receive a notification before your key expires. Expired keys cannot be reactivated, delete the expired key and create a new one if continued access is needed.

Usage

1. Compute Units Usage

Stay up to date with your quota for sending API requests. The limit is based on your plan:

• Free users are allocated limited compute units (CUs), with 3,000,000 CUs/5 RPS valid for a month You will encounter a paywall once you exceed your monthly limit, as shown below.

• Upgrading to a paid plan provides auto-scaling capabilities that ensure continuous usage even when approaching compute unit limits. Additional Compute Unit usage will be charged per CU based on your current plan.

2. Daily Usage

The daily usage monitor tracks the number of compute units (CUs) and daily requests. It also provides information about your average usage over the last 30 days. This data allows you to track usage patterns and adjust your plan for efficient use.

Invite Members

🚧

Note

This option is only available to paid users.

Improve collaboration by inviting team members to your workspace. Here's what you can do:

• Assign different roles to each member. Available member roles are Contributors and Admin.
• Set node limits for each member to manage your workspace's resources effectively.

Logs

Track your previous requests by viewing the last 100 requests in the Logs section.
