Get an API Key

The same way you might use platforms like Alchemy or Infura to access Ethereum, you can use our endpoints to send requests to the built-in RPCs on Conduit chains.

To do this you’ll need to get an API key.

Starting August 4, 2026 at 12:00 PM PST, an API key is required for debug_* and trace_* methods and for all WebSocket connections. Integrations using WebSocket without a key will stop working on August 4 — create a free key and append it to your WSS URL to keep subscriptions running.

Steps

1

Sign up or log in to Conduit

Sign up or log in to Conduit.

2

Head to the Nodes page

Go to the Nodes page.

3

Click Create API key and name your key

Append your API key to the RPC url of the rollups you wish to interact with.

4

Start sending requests to the RPC endpoint

Your API key will work on all public and private endpoints (private endpoints do not appear in the Conduit app).

You can add JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication to an API key with an asymmetric key pair. After setup, each request must include both the API key and a JWT from that key pair.
