Get the native AVAX balance of an address on C-Chain
Check if an address is a contract and get its ERC20 name/symbol if applicable
Look up a transaction by hash on Avalanche (C-Chain, P-Chain, or X-Chain). Supports 0x format (C-Chain) and CB58 format (P/X-Chain).
Look up an address — balance, contract info. Use when users paste an 0x address.
Look up a Subnet / L1 by its ID — validators, chains, and configuration.
Look up a blockchain by its ID — name, VM type, and subnet.
Look up a validator by node ID — stake, uptime, delegation info.
Search for code across Avalanche GitHub repositories (avalanchego, icm-services, builders-hub).
Retrieve the contents of a specific file from an Avalanche GitHub repository.
