Work with Marketplace

Basic workflow

To start using Chainstack Marketplace, do the following:

1. Go to the Marketplace in your console.
2. Purchase and install the app you decided to use.
3. Generate a Chainstack API key that you will use to retrieve your JSON web token (JWT).
4. Retrieve your JWT using Chainstack Platform API.
5. Interact with your purchased app directly.

Install an app

To install the app in the Chainstack Marketplace, do the following:

1. Go to the Marketplace in your console.
2. Click Install on the app you want to install.
3. Select the app subscription plan and click Complete order and begin installation.

The payment will be made and the app will get installed to your console. If a payment is unsuccessful, check your balance and try again.

Get access to an app

To get access to the installed app, you will use a JSON web token issued through Chainstack platform API. To interact with the platform API, you must use an API key. If you don't have an API key, you can create one either in Settings > API keys or right on the application page Dashboard.

With your API key, retrieve a JSON web token by using the corresponding method. Now you can interact with the app API by using vendor's methods.

🚧

JWT expiration

Note that an issued token is valid 1 hour only. Make sure to renew it in time.

Delete an app

By deleting an app, you automatically cancel your subscription to it. To delete an app and cancel your subscription to it, do the following:

1. Open the app page.
2. Go to Settings.
3. Click Delete app.
4. Enter the requested phrase into the text field and click Yes, I'm sure.

The app gets uninstalled and your subscription to it gets canceled. Unused period will be calculated and returned to your Chainstack balance automatically.
