Making the Most Out of the Beryx API: Your Ally for Filecoin Development

For over a year, Zondax has been hard at work developing the Beryx Explorer and the Beryx API, two tools designed to make building in the Filecoin ecosystem smoother and more efficient. In this blog, we’ll break down what the Beryx API can do for you and how it can be an invaluable asset in your Filecoin development toolkit.

Let’s start with the basics. Since you’re here, we’re guessing you’re familiar with APIs in general but want to know more about how the Beryx API fits into your Filecoin-related projects.

At its core, the Beryx API is designed to simplify interactions with the FVM (Filecoin Virtual Machine) and FEVM (Filecoin Ethereum Virtual Machine). It provides an easy way to search and retrieve data across six key areas:

1. Contracts

2. Transactions (including ERC tokens)

3. Blocks

4. Heights

5. Events

These capabilities allow you to access important data quickly and efficiently, making your workflow with the Filecoin ecosystem more streamlined.

One of the best things about the Beryx API? It’s free to use. Whether you're looking to pull data on ERC20 token approvals or want to dive into balance statistics, the Beryx API provides more than 90 free endpoints that you can tap into right away. We’ve also included examples to help you get started quickly. You can explore everything the API has to offer at our documentation.

The Beryx API is built with developers like you in mind—whether you're tracking smart contract activity, monitoring blockchain events, or checking transaction histories. It gives you the power to:

• Quickly search through Filecoin data.

• Seamlessly interact with the FVM and FEVM.

• Enhance your dApp functionality by integrating useful blockchain data.

It’s all about giving you the tools to focus on building, while we handle the heavy lifting when it comes to accessing key blockchain data.

If you’ve already used the Beryx API, we’d love to hear your feedback. What did you find helpful? Where can we improve? And if you haven’t had a chance to try it out yet, now’s the perfect time. Dive in, explore the possibilities, and let us know what you think.

Additionally, Beryx is part of the second round of Filecoin’s RetroPGF (Retroactive Public Goods Funding), and we’d appreciate your support! If you’ve had a positive experience with Beryx, feel free to share your thoughts with the community. You can join the discussion here.

The Beryx API is designed to help you get things done faster and with less hassle.Whether you’re an experienced developer in the Filecoin ecosystem or you’re here just out of curiosity, the Beryx API offers an easy, powerful way to interact with the FVM and FEVM. With free access to over 90 endpoints and a wealth of resources at your disposal, it’s never been easier to streamline your development process.

So why wait? Try the Beryx API and make it your ally in creating more powerful, efficient dApps and services within the Filecoin network. We’re excited to see what you build!
