News: It's Pro Time

It's time to make the Pro API switch, and it's easier than you think.

We've sent out a few notices, but this is our last newsletter before the July 1 deadline to upgrade to our Pro API service. This also lines up with Etherscan's reductions to their API offerings, making it the perfect time to switch and improve your coverage.

In our latest blog post we cover the details: how to get a key and which parameters to change, whether you're moving from a Blockscout per-instance API or a provider like Etherscan or Routescan.

Switching is free, and our baseline service stays free for ALL chains we support. Need more calls or a higher RPS? Upgrade to a Builder or Pro subscription.

We just added quarterly and yearly billing for Builder and Pro. Save up to 20% with an annual subscription.
