Endpoints Overview

Core Endpoints

Portfolio

Get holdings across wallets and DeFi protocols.

const response = await fetch(
  `https://api.octav.fi/v1/portfolio?addresses=${address}`,
  { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}` } }
);
const portfolio = await response.json();
// portfolio.networth, portfolio.assetByProtocols, portfolio.chains

Parameters:

• addresses (required): Comma-separated EVM/Solana addresses
• includeNFTs: Include NFT holdings (default: false)
• includeImages: Include asset/protocol image URLs (default: false)
• waitForSync: Wait for fresh data if stale (default: false)

Response structure:

{
  "address": "0x...",
  "networth": "45231.89",
  "assetByProtocols": {
    "wallet": { "key": "wallet", "name": "Wallet", "value": "12453.20", "assets": [...] },
    "aave_v3": { "key": "aave_v3", "name": "Aave V3", "value": "8934.12", "assets": [...] }

    "ethereum": { "value": "25123.45", "protocols": [...] },
    "arbitrum": { "value": "20108.44", "protocols": [...] }
  }
}

Nav (Net Asset Value)

Get simple net worth number.

const response = await fetch(
  `https://api.octav.fi/v1/nav?addresses=${address}`,
  { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}` } }
);
const nav = await response.json(); // Returns: 1235564.43434

Transactions

Query transaction history with filtering.

const params = new URLSearchParams({
  addresses: '0x...',
  limit: '50',
  offset: '0',
  sort: 'DESC',
  hideSpam: 'true'
});

const response = await fetch(
  `https://api.octav.fi/v1/transactions?${params}`,
  { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}` } }
);

Required parameters:

• addresses: Wallet address(es)
• limit: Results per page (1-250)
• offset: Pagination offset

Optional filters:

• sort: DESC (newest) or ASC (oldest)
• networks: Chain filter (e.g., ethereum,arbitrum,base)
• txTypes: Transaction type filter (e.g., SWAP,DEPOSIT)
• protocols: Protocol filter (e.g., uniswap_v3,aave_v3)
• hideSpam: Exclude spam (default: false)
• hideDust: Exclude dust transactions (default: false)
• startDate/endDate: ISO 8601 date range
• initialSearchText: Full-text search in assets

Response (array of transactions):

[{
  "hash": "0xa1b2c3...",
  "timestamp": "1699012800",
  "chain": { "key": "ethereum", "name": "Ethereum" },
  "type": "SWAP",
  "protocol": { "key": "uniswap_v3", "name": "Uniswap V3" },
  "fees": "0.002134",
  "feesFiat": "7.12",
  "assetsIn": [{ "symbol": "WETH", "amount": "1.5", "value": "4800.00" }],
  "assetsOut": [{ "symbol": "USDC", "amount": "4795.23", "value": "4795.23" }]
}]

Sync Transactions

Trigger manual sync for fresh transaction data.

const response = await fetch('https://api.octav.fi/v1/sync-transactions', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ addresses: ['0x...'] })
});
// Returns: "Address is syncing" or "Address already syncing"

Cost: 1 credit + 1 credit per 250 transactions indexed (first-time only).

Status (Free)

Check sync status before expensive operations.

const response = await fetch(
  `https://api.octav.fi/v1/status?addresses=${address}`,
  { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}` } }
);
const [status] = await response.json();
// status.portfolioLastSync, status.transactionsLastSync, status.syncInProgress

Credits (Free)

Check remaining credit balance.

const credits = await fetch('https://api.octav.fi/v1/credits', {
  headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}` }
}).then(r => r.json());
// Returns: 19033 (number)

Historical Portfolio

Get portfolio snapshot for a specific date. Requires subscription.

const response = await fetch(
  `https://api.octav.fi/v1/historical?addresses=${address}&date=2024-11-01`,
  { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}` } }
);

Token Overview (PRO Only)

Detailed token breakdown by protocol.

const response = await fetch(
  `https://api.octav.fi/v1/token-overview?addresses=${address}&date=2024-11-01`,
  { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}` } }
);

Transaction Types

Common types for filtering:

Supported Chains

Full support (portfolio + transactions): ethereum, arbitrum, base, polygon, optimism, avalanche, binance, solana, blast, linea, gnosis, sonic, starknet, fraxtal, unichain

Portfolio only: scroll, zksync (era), mantle, manta, fantom, cronos, celo, and 40+ more

Use chain keys in networks filter: ?networks=ethereum,arbitrum,base

Error Handling

async function fetchWithRetry(url, options, maxRetries = 3) {
  for (let i = 0; i < maxRetries; i++) {
    const response = await fetch(url, options);

    if (response.status === 429) {
      const retryAfter = response.headers.get('Retry-After') || 60;
      await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, retryAfter * 1000));
      continue;
    }

    if (!response.ok) {
      const error = await response.json();
      throw new Error(`API Error ${response.status}: ${error.message}`);
    }

    return response;
  }
  throw new Error('Max retries exceeded');
}

Common errors:

• 401: Invalid/missing API key
• 402: Insufficient credits
• 403: Endpoint requires PRO subscription
• 429: Rate limit exceeded (wait and retry)
• 404: Address not indexed (>100k transactions)

Cost Optimization

1. Batch addresses: ?addresses=0x123,0x456,0x789 (1 credit vs 3)
2. Use free endpoints: /v1/status and /v1/credits cost nothing
3. Filter on server: Use networks, txTypes params vs client filtering
4. Cache results: Portfolio cached 1 minute, transactions 10 minutes
5. Check status first: Avoid unnecessary syncs

Common Patterns

Multi-wallet portfolio

const addresses = ['0x123...', '0x456...', '0x789...'];
const response = await fetch(
  `https://api.octav.fi/v1/portfolio?addresses=${addresses.join(',')}`,
  { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}` } }
);

Paginated transaction fetch

async function getAllTransactions(address) {
  const transactions = [];
  let offset = 0;
  const limit = 250;

  while (true) {
    const response = await fetch(
      `https://api.octav.fi/v1/transactions?addresses=${address}&limit=${limit}&offset=${offset}&sort=DESC`,
      { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}` } }
    );
    const batch = await response.json();
    if (batch.length === 0) break;
    transactions.push(...batch);
    offset += batch.length;
    if (batch.length < limit) break;
  }

  return transactions;
}

Smart sync workflow

async function smartSync(address) {
  // Check status first (free)
  const [status] = await fetch(
    `https://api.octav.fi/v1/status?addresses=${address}`,
    { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}` } }
  ).then(r => r.json());

  const lastSync = new Date(status.transactionsLastSync);
  const minutesSinceSync = (Date.now() - lastSync) / 1000 / 60;

  if (minutesSinceSync > 10 && !status.syncInProgress) {
    await fetch('https://api.octav.fi/v1/sync-transactions', {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`, 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
      body: JSON.stringify({ addresses: [address] })
    });
  }
}

TypeScript Interfaces

interface Portfolio {
  address: string;
  networth: string;
  cashBalance: string;
  dailyIncome: string;
  dailyExpense: string;
  fees: string;
  feesFiat: string;
  lastUpdated: string;
  assetByProtocols: Record<string, Protocol>;
  chains: Record<string, Chain>;
}

interface Protocol {
  key: string;
  name: string;
  value: string;
  assets: Asset[];
}

interface Asset {
  balance: string;
  symbol: string;
  price: string;
  value: string;
  contractAddress?: string;
  chain?: string;
}

interface Transaction {
  hash: string;
  timestamp: string;
  chain: { key: string; name: string };
  from: string;
  to: string;
  type: string;
  protocol?: { key: string; name: string };
  value: string;
  valueFiat: string;
  fees: string;
  feesFiat: string;
  assetsIn: Asset[];
  assetsOut: Asset[];
  functionName?: string;
}

Pricing

Credits never expire. First-time address indexing: 1 credit per 250 transactions.
