Introduction

1. Create a Shinami account

You’ll need a Shinami account to follow this quick-start guide. Use referral code "Aptos First Request."

2. Create an API Access Key

To use Shinami's products, you’ll need an API access key to authenticate your requests. Set up a Node Access key for Testnet as shown here in our Authentication and API Keys guide

3. Make a request!

Here is an example GET /accounts/address request that returns the sequence number and authentication key for an account.

Replace all instances of {{name}} with the actual value for that name

curl https://api.shinami.com/aptos/node/v1/accounts/{{accountAddress}} \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-Api-Key: {{aptosNodeServiceAccessKey}}"
