Basics

API base URL

https://api.valuescan.io/api

Stream base URL

SSE and WebSocket push endpoints use a dedicated Stream domain:

TypeBase URL
HTTPS/SSEhttps://stream.valuescan.ai
WebSocketwss://stream.valuescan.ai

Request method

Query endpoints use POST. Parameters are sent as JSON in the request body.

SSE and WebSocket push endpoints use Stream URLs. Authentication parameters are passed via Query String when establishing the connection.

Common response structure

All endpoints return a unified JSON structure:

json

    "code": 200,
    "message": "success",
    "data": { ... },
    "requestId": "xxx-xxx-xxx"
}

Core concepts

vsTokenId

vsTokenId is the unique token identifier in ValueScan. Most token-related endpoints require this parameter.

How to obtain:

  • Call the Token list endpoint and search by token name or symbol to get the corresponding vsTokenId
  • Cache frequently used vsTokenId values locally to avoid repeated lookups

Credits

Each API call consumes credits. See the Credits section in each endpoint doc for the exact amount.

Credits are the billing unit for this Open API platform and differ from in-app membership points.
