# Blockscout Developer Portal

> Blockscout Developer Portal provides access to Blockscout PRO API — an enhanced API service
> with higher call limits for Blockscout-hosted blockchain networks.

## Access

- Registration and API key management: https://dev.blockscout.com
- API key format: `proapi_xxxxxxxx`
- Authentication: `Authorization: Bearer <api-key>` header on every request

## Agent Skill

For code-generating agents, the canonical way to start building against the PRO API is the `web3-dev` agent skill. It provides the full OpenAPI endpoint index, canonical Bearer-token authentication, CDN-required request headers, a JSON-RPC gateway for contract reads, pagination cursor mechanics, and per-call credit accounting — covering details that this document only summarises.

## Plans

To get current plan details (pricing, rate limits, credits), call the plans API:

```
curl https://api.blockscout.com/api/json/plans
```

To check current balance and credits spent, call the user profile API:

```
curl https://api.blockscout.com/api/json/users/me
```

Note: both endpoints require authorization on the developer portal (https://dev.blockscout.com).
