Algorand

This section provides information specific to the Algorand blockchain.

Signing In With Your Wallet

Unlike other Proteus Shield deployments, Algorand requires the Pera wallet and not Metamask to sign in.

Sending Requests

We host two REST API endpoints for Algorand:

• Archival Node: This node provides access to the entire blockchain history, starting from genesis, as is. You can learn more about its API here: Algod API. Only GET endpoints are supported.

• Indexer Node: This node provides REST API for searching Algorand blockchain. You can learn more about the indexer here: Algorand Indexer. You can find the REST API documentation here: Indexer API.

Both nodes are free to use and require authentication.

Unlike other Proteus Shield deployments, you have to use a custom header to provide your API key:

• For Archival Node: "X-Algo-API-Token: API_KEY"

curl --location 'https://algod.algorand.chain.love/v2/status' \
--header 'X-Algo-API-Token: API_KEY' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'

• For Indexer Node: "X-Indexer-API-Token: API_KEY"

curl --location 'https://indexer.algorand.chain.love/v2/accounts' \
--header 'X-Indexer-API-Token: API_KEY' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'
