☑️ Prerequisites

Before you begin integrating with the DexCheck API, please ensure you have the following:

• DexCheck API Account

  Sign up at DexCheck API and choose the plan that matches your usage needs. This determines your rate limits and available features.

• HTTP & JSON Fundamentals

  You’ll need a basic understanding of REST principles—GET and POST requests, status codes, headers—and comfort parsing JSON payloads in your programming language or HTTP client of choice.

• WebSocket Support

  If you want to consume live price, swaps, chart streams, confirm that your environment or framework can open and maintain WebSocket connections without interruption.

• Rate-Limit Handling

  Build logic to detect 429 Too Many Requests responses or dropped WebSocket connections. Implement exponential back-off and retries in accordance with your plan’s limits.

• Environment Configuration

  Keep your system clock synchronized to correlate logs and timestamps accurately. Store any base URLs or credentials in environment variables or a secure secrets manager.

• Monitoring & Logging

  Set up request and connection logging so you can quickly identify and debug connectivity issues, parameter errors, or unexpected data formats.

With these pieces in place, you’ll be ready to make reliable, high-performance calls to DexCheck’s REST and WebSocket endpoints.
