Why teams choose Etherscan API for BNB Smart Chain data

Explorer-grade blockchain data for teams that need accuracy, coverage, scale, and a clear path to multichain data from day one.

The first-choice API for BNB Smart Chain data

When teams need blockchain data they can defend in front of users, finance, or compliance, they start with the Etherscan API.

The reference layer for onchain data

Built with BscScan data, the API is used as a reference point to verify balances, transfers, internal transactions, and contract activity on BNB Smart Chain.

Accuracy that holds up under scrutiny

Capture edge cases many providers miss and reduce time spent reconciling mismatched records across tools.

One integration, 60+ chains

Same endpoints, same structure, one API key across BNB Smart Chain and other chains. Just set chainid=56 for Mainnet or chainid=97 for Testnet.

BNB Smart Chain data through a familiar API

Use the same request parameters, response formats, and API conventions that power BscScan and other Etherscan-supported explorers.

The default for mission-critical data

If blockchain data is mission-critical, Etherscan API is the default choice for teams that need accuracy and reliability.

How to start querying BNB Smart Chain with Etherscan API

Get an API key, set the BNB Smart Chain chain ID, and call the same endpoint structure used across 60+ EVM chains.
