Alchemy API (with API Key)

Reference and integration guide for wiring Alchemy APIs into application code using a standard API key. This file alone is enough to ship a basic integration; the references/ directory contains deeper coverage of every product surface.

When to use this skill

Use alchemy-api when all of the following are true:

The user is wiring Alchemy into application code (server, backend, dApp, worker, script) that runs outside the current agent session
They have, or are willing to create, an Alchemy API key (free at dashboard.alchemy.com)

This is the preferred app-integration path for normal server/backend usage.

When to use a different skill

Situation	Use this skill instead
Live agent work in this session (queries, admin, on-machine automation); no API key needed, sign in with OAuth	`alchemy-mcp`

Do not use this skill to run ad-hoc live queries from inside the agent session — that's the alchemy-mcp path. This skill is for code that ships.
