import { ChainGate } from 'chaingate'

const cg = new ChainGate({ apiKey: 'your-api-key' })
const btc = cg.explore(cg.networks.bitcoin)

Available methods

Method	Description
getAddressBalance(address)	Confirmed and unconfirmed balances
getAddressHistory(address, page?)	Paginated transaction history
getUtxosByAddress(address, page?)	List unspent transaction outputs
getTransactionDetails(txId)	Full transaction details
getLatestBlock()	Latest block header
getBlockByHeight(height)	Fetch block by height
getBlockByHash(hash)	Fetch block by hash
getFeeRate()	Recommended fee rates by tier (low/normal/high/maximum)
getMempoolTransactions()	Transactions in the mempool
broadcastTransaction(rawTx)	Broadcast a signed raw transaction
estimateTransactionSize(params)	Estimate transaction size in bytes
getNetworkLogoUrl()	Network logo URL

Example

const btc = cg.explore(cg.networks.bitcoin)

// Balance
const balance = await btc.getAddressBalance('bc1q...')
console.log('Confirmed:', balance.confirmed.base(), balance.confirmed.symbol)

// Fee rates
const feeRate = await btc.getFeeRate()
console.log('Normal fee:', feeRate.normal.feePerKb, 'sat/kB')

// Latest block
const block = await btc.getLatestBlock()
console.log('Latest block height:', block.height)

// Transaction history
const history = await btc.getAddressHistory('bc1q...')
for (const tx of history.transactions) {
  console.log(tx.txId, tx.amount.base())
}

// UTXOs
const utxos = await btc.getUtxosByAddress('bc1q...')
for (const utxo of utxos.utxos) {
  console.log(utxo.txId, utxo.vout, utxo.value.base())
}

Connector shortcut

If you have a wallet connected, you can use connector.addressUtxos() to list UTXOs for your wallet's address directly:

const connector = cg.connect(cg.networks.bitcoin, wallet)
const utxos = await connector.addressUtxos()

This is especially useful when building custom UTXO transactions.
