Uniblock: Enhancing Integration Experience

Uniblock provides a platform where developers can manage various blockchain providers seamlessly. Its Providers section comprises two main features: Management and Priority List.

  • Management: Here, users can view integrated blockchain providers, add or remove them from projects, and manage API keys. Detailed information is available in the Management documentation.
  • Priority List: This feature empowers developers to set the order in which the integrated providers are invoked during an endpoint call. It allows setting default provider priority lists for various categories, including Token, NFT, and Transaction. Further insights are provided in the Priority List documentation.

For those opting to integrate with Tatum specifically, obtaining an API key is straightforward. You can find the process in the Tatum API documentation. While this step is optional for testing, it's advised for production use. Post integration, developers can effortlessly ping endpoints and ensure secure authentication for them. Furthermore, the endpoints supported by different providers can be reviewed in the endpoints section of the Uniblock dashboard.
