Chain.Love on Algorand is a **set of modules** that help you **discover** providers and (optionally) **access** Algorand APIs through an API gateway.

## Recommended workflows

* **Discover providers (start here)**: open the [Toolbox](https://algorand.chain.love/) → browse categories (Indexing, Oracles, Wallets, etc.) → shortlist and compare offers.
* **Need an endpoint right now**: open [API Management](https://algorand.chain.love/rpc) → use the Algod/Indexer endpoints (details below).

## Modules on Algorand

### Toolbox (Discovery & comparison)

* **What it is**: a chain-specific marketplace/registry of Web3 services.
* **Key features**:
  * [Discover](https://chain-love.gitbook.io/chain.loves-toolbox/features/discover): browse categories and filter offers
  * [Compare](https://chain-love.gitbook.io/chain.loves-toolbox/features/compare): side-by-side comparison
  * [AI search](https://chain-love.gitbook.io/chain.loves-toolbox/features/ai-search): search across the database (including cross-ecosystem queries)
  * [Widget for docs](https://chain-love.gitbook.io/chain.loves-toolbox/features/widget-for-docs): embed a compact Toolbox view into documentation
  * [Contributing](https://chain-love.gitbook.io/chain.loves-toolbox/contributing/open-source-database): improve the open-source database
* **Open**: `https://algorand.chain.love/`

### API Management (RPC)

This module is for **accessing** APIs. If you’re evaluating providers or comparing options, start with the **Toolbox** section above.

#### Signing in with your wallet

Algorand additionally provide you with the option to connect via [Pera wallet](https://perawallet.app/) to sign in.

#### Sending requests

We host two REST API endpoints for Algorand:

* [Archival Node](https://algod.algorand.chain.love/): This node provides access to the entire blockchain history, starting from genesis, as is. You can learn more about its API here: [Algod API](https://developer.algorand.org/docs/rest-apis/algod/). Only **GET** endpoints are supported.
* [Indexer Node](https://indexer.algorand.chain.love/): This node provides REST API for searching Algorand blockchain. You can learn more about the indexer here: [Algorand Indexer](https://developer.algorand.org/docs/get-details/indexer/). You can find the REST API documentation here: [Indexer API](https://developer.algorand.org/docs/rest-apis/indexer/).

Both nodes are **free to use** for 10 requests per minute without authenthication and for 10M Credits with authentication.

{% hint style="info" %}
Unlike other Chain.Love deployments, you have to use a **custom header** to provide your query key!
{% endhint %}

* For **Archival Node**: **"X-Algo-API-Token: QUERY\_KEY"**

```bash
curl --location 'https://algod.algorand.chain.love/v2/status' \
--header 'X-Algo-API-Token: QUERY_KEY' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'
```

* For **Indexer Node**: **"X-Indexer-API-Token: QUERY\_KEY"**

```bash
curl --location 'https://indexer.algorand.chain.love/v2/accounts' \
--header 'X-Indexer-API-Token: QUERY_KEY' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'
```
