        -u YOUR_API_KEY:

  2. Client SDKs - official client libraries including TypeScript, Go and Python.

    npm install @covalenthq/client-sdk
    import { CovalentClient } from "@covalenthq/client-sdk";

    (async () => {
    try {
        const client = new CovalentClient("YOUR_API_KEY");
        const transactions = client.TransactionService.getAllTransactionsForAddress("gnosis-mainnet", "0x2C6900b24221dE2B4A45c8c89482fFF96FFB7E55");

        for await (const tx of transactions) {
        console.log("tx", tx);
        }
    } catch (error) {
        console.log(error.message);
    }
    })();
