How to Query ERC-20 Token Balances and Transactions Using Ethers.js and Etherscan API

Tutorial October 24, 2024

  • Start and End Block: Adjust the startblock and endblock parameters to limit the range of blocks you want to query.
  • Sort: Set the sort parameter to asc (ascending) or desc (descending) to control the order of the transactions.
  • Token Transfers for All Tokens: You can modify the API call to query all token transfers for an address, not just a specific token contract, by omitting the contractaddress parameter.

In this tutorial, you learned how to use Ethers.js to query ERC-20 token balances and how to leverage the Etherscan API to retrieve token transaction histories. These are essential techniques for building decentralized applications, wallets, or blockchain explorers that interact with ERC-20 tokens on the Ethereum network.
