Introduction

This quickstart guide walks through using the GoldRush TypeScript SDK and GoldRush UI Kit to quickly build with multichain data leveraging the powerful GoldRush APIs.

​
Prerequisites

Using any of the GoldRush developer tools requires an API key.

Get Started

Sign up for a free API key to get started with GoldRush.

​
Supported Chains

GoldRush can be used with any of the supported chains. See the full list, including chain categorization, at Supported Chains.

Some data enrichments such as internal transactions and historical balance fetches are only available for Foundational Chains.

​
Using the GoldRush TypeScript SDK

The GoldRush TypeScript SDK is the fastest way to integrate the GoldRush APIs for working with blockchain data. The SDK works with all supported chains including Mainnets and Testnets.

This SDK requires NodeJS v18 or above.

​
Step 1. Install the SDK

npm install @covalenthq/client-sdk

or

yarn add @covalenthq/client-sdk

See the package on npm for more details.

​
Step 2. Import the Client

The GoldRushClient class provides typesafe, easy-to-use helper functions and classes to use the GoldRush APIs.

import { GoldRushClient } from "@covalenthq/client-sdk";

​
Step 3. Initialize the Client

import { GoldRushClient } from "@covalenthq/client-sdk";

const ApiServices = async () => {
    const client = new GoldRushClient("YOUR_API_KEY"); 
};

​
Step 4. Invoke the Service

In this quickstart, we use the BalanceService and getTokenBalancesForWalletAddress() function to fetch all token balances held by an address. This function takes a chain name and wallet address as required arguments.

ENS resolution is supported for eth-mainnet.

import { GoldRushClient } from "@covalenthq/client-sdk";

const ApiServices = async () => {
    // Replace with your GoldRush API key
    const client = new GoldRushClient("YOUR_API_KEY"); 
    const response = await client.BalanceService.getTokenBalancesForWalletAddress("eth-mainnet", "demo.eth"); 
    
    if (!response.error) {
        console.log(response.data);
    } else {
        console.log(response.error_message);
    }
};

ApiServices();

Example response:

}

​
Using the GoldRush UI Kit

The GoldRush UI Kit consists of beautifully designed React components for your dapp frontend. The Kit is open source and customizable.

This UI Kit requires React 18.

See the open source repo on GitHub.

​
Step 1. Install the UI Kit

npm install @covalenthq/goldrush-kit

or

yarn add @covalenthq/goldrush-kit

​
Step 2. Import the Provider

import { GoldRushProvider } from "@covalenthq/goldrush-kit";

​
Step 3. Configure the Provider

import { GoldRushProvider } from "@covalenthq/goldrush-kit";

const GoldRushExample = () => {
    return (
        <GoldRushProvider
            apikey={process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_KEY}
        >
            {/* Your components here */}
        </GoldRushProvider>
    );
};

export default GoldRushExample;

​
Step 4. Add Styles and Theme

import { GoldRushProvider } from "@covalenthq/goldrush-kit";
import "@covalenthq/goldrush-kit/styles.css";

const GoldRushExample = () => {
    return (
        <GoldRushProvider
            apikey={process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_KEY}
            theme={{
                borderRadius: 6,
                colors: {
                    dark: {
                        primary: "#FF4C8B",
                        background: "#000426",
                        foreground: "#FFFFFF",
                        secondary: "#868E96",
                    },
                    light: {
                        primary: "#00D8D5",
                        background: "#FFFFFF",
                        foreground: "#1C2024",
                        secondary: "#868E96",
                    },
                },
                mode: "dark",
            }}
        >
            {/* Your components here */}
        </GoldRushProvider>
    );
};

export default GoldRushExample;

​
Step 5. Add Components

import { GoldRushProvider, TokenBalancesList } from "@covalenthq/goldrush-kit";
import "@covalenthq/goldrush-kit/styles.css";

const GoldRushExample = () => {
    return (
        <GoldRushProvider
            apikey={process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_KEY}
            theme={{
                borderRadius: 6,
                colors: {
                    dark: {
                        primary: "#FF4C8B",
                        background: "#000426",
                        foreground: "#FFFFFF",
                        secondary: "#868E96",
                    },
                    light: {
                        primary: "#00D8D5",
                        background: "#FFFFFF",
                        foreground: "#1C2024",
                        secondary: "#868E96",
                    },
                },
                mode: "dark",
            }}
        >
            <TokenBalancesList
                chain_names={[
                    "eth-mainnet",
                    "matic-mainnet"
                ]}
                hide_small_balances
                address="0xfc43f5f9dd45258b3aff31bdbe6561d97e8b71de"
            />
        </GoldRushProvider>
    );
};

export default GoldRushExample;
