Create an Alchemy API key

Create an app in the Alchemy Dashboard and copy its API key.

This guide shows you how to create an app in the Alchemy Dashboard, copy its API key, and find the endpoint URLs you will use in requests.

If you just created your Alchemy account, you already have a default app and API key. Use that unless you need a separate app for a new project or environment.

Sign in to the Alchemy Dashboard and open Team Overview from your team menu.

Open the Apps tab, then select Create new app.

Add an app name, an optional description, and the chains you want this app to support. Then choose the services you want enabled and select Create App.

After the app is created, you will land on the app details page. Copy the API key shown in the top-right corner.

Open the Endpoints tab to view the HTTP and WebSocket URLs for the chains enabled on this app.

You are done when both of these are true:

  • You can see an API key on the app details page
  • You can see at least one HTTP or WebSocket endpoint URL in the Endpoints tab
