Introduction

Welcome to the NexaShell API You can use our API to access NexaShell API endpoints, which can get information on various coins, tokens, and assets in our database.

We have language bindings in JavaScript, Python, PHP and Rust! You can view code examples in the dark area to the right, and you can switch the programming language of the examples with the tabs in the top right.

This example API documentation page was created with Slate. Feel free to edit it and use it as a base for your own API's documentation.

Authentication

To authorize, use this code:

require 'kittn'

api = NexaShell::APIClient.authorize!('meowmeowmeow')

import pynexa

api = kittn.authorize('meowmeowmeow')

# With shell, you can just pass the correct header with each request
curl "api_endpoint_here" \
  -H "Authorization: meowmeowmeow"

import Nexa as 'nexajs'

let token = Nexa.getToken('meowmeowmeow')

Make sure to replace meowmeowmeow with your API key.

NexaShell uses API keys to allow access to the API. You can register a new NexaShell API key at our developer portal.

NexaShell expects for the API key to be included in all API requests to the server in a header that looks like the following:

Authorization: meowmeowmeow

You must replace meowmeowmeow with your personal API key.
