type:integration

Wire Alchemy into application code (server, backend, dApp, script) using a standard API key. Preferred app-integration path for normal server/backend usage. Covers EVM JSON-RPC, Token API, NFT API, Transfers API, Prices API, Portfolio API, Simulation, Webhooks, Solana RPC, Solana DAS, Solana Yellowstone gRPC, Sui gRPC, Wallets/Account Kit, and operational topics. Requires `$ALCHEMY_API_KEY`. For live agent work in this session (querying, admin, local automation), use `alchemy-cli` (preferred) or `alchemy-mcp` instead. For app code without an API key (autonomous agent paying per-request, or explicit x402/MPP), use `agentic-gateway` instead.
