Getting 400 bad req on any Web3API call on local devchain

Technical Issue Reporting
#1

Hello, I am getting a 400 anytime I try to use the Web3API, I am using hardhat local dev chain and am connected by proxy to the server but I cannot get anything to work. https://admin.moralis.io/web3Api queries work fine but anything from my react moralis app does not work.
authenticate() works fine with metamask
I am on Linux Mint as well if that matters.

import React, {createContext, useEffect, useState } from “react”;
import { useForm } from “react-hook-form”;
import { useMoralis,useMoralisWeb3Api, useMoralisWeb3ApiCall } from “react-moralis”
import {abi} from ‘…/abi/abi’

const CONTRACT_ADDRESS = ‘0xCD8a1C3ba11CF5ECfa6267617243239504a98d90’ //deploy to hardhat after compile then add contractaddress here
const contractAbi = abi.abi //exported abi for now

export const ContractContext = createContext();

export function ContractProvider(props) {

const [contract, setContract] = useState()

const options = {
    chain: "hardhat",
    address: "0xf39fd6e51aad88f6f4ce6ab8827279cfffb92266",
  };

const {authenticate, logout,isInitialized, isAuthenticated,authError, hasAuthError,user, enableWeb3,isAuthenticating, isWeb3Enabled, Moralis, web3} = useMoralis()

const Web3API = useMoralisWeb3Api();

useEffect( ()=>{

if (isInitialized) {
    enableWeb3();
    setContract(new web3.eth.Contract(contractAbi, CONTRACT_ADDRESS))

    const getPrice = async () => {
      try{
        await Web3API.token.getTokenPrice({address: "0xf39fd6e51aad88f6f4ce6ab8827279cfffb92266", chain: "bsc"})
      }catch(e){
        console.log(e)
      }
      
    }
    
    getPrice();
    
    
    
  }
}, [isInitialized, Moralis]);

if (!isInitialized) {
    return null;
  }

return (
    <ContractContext.Provider value={{contract}}>

        {props.children}

    </ContractContext.Provider>
)

}

can you also post your server url and application id?

#3

Server URL: https://jatfccjcovh3.moralishost.com:2053/server

Application ID: 4S12Z6OWMk2IkfGcKr712xLVTldKoSt2jM2PXM0T

#4

I have a ganache dev server that looks to work well:

Server URL: https://nmpybhwvmsji.moralishost.com:2053/server
Application ID: Pf8atloG7uNhe8ZSNmPYLVYubfflkRuvJdJHrlEZ

You can try with this one just to see if your code works fine.

#5

I changed Moralis provider to the URL and App ID you provided and im still getting same error :’(

#6

okay im trying

const getPrice = async () => {
try{
const transactions = await Web3API.account.getTransactions();
console.log(transactions)
}catch(e){
console.log(e)
}

    }
    
    getPrice();

and I am getting a response with ur ganache server, but I tried with my own server and still getting 400

#7

Ok, it looks like your server has some problems, we will check.

#8

when visiting https://admin.moralis.io/web3Api, can you copy your API key from Copy API key or see it when you make a simple request in the curl command?
asking because when visiting https://admin.moralis.io/web3Api it should generate your API key if it was not generated before, and without an API key generated on your account the web3api requests will not work

#9

I do have an API key on my account

curl -X 'GET' \
  'https://deep-index.moralis.io/api/v2/0x159feb32c2374de0c28e426dd572385bda5a9c27?chain=eth&subdomain=https%3A%2F%2Fjatfccjcovh3.moralishost.com%3A2053%2Fserver' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'X-API-Key: gZraArHo1dXfZ5Qpl9QAeU8FPqZqBToBvKbjzWej4zfh3wylLRXiIzqQfL7JYvOv'
#11

Now it looks like your server works fine for web3api requests.

#12

no that was from https://admin.moralis.io/web3Api , still cannot do any requests on my react moralis frontend

#13

Moralis.Web3API.token.getTokenPrice({address: "0xe9e7cea3dedca5984780bafc599bd69add087d56", chain: "bsc"}) looks to work now for your server.

#14

okay it seems to not work if I try to use my local hardhat chain. I have tried chain:“localdevchain”, “hardhat”, “dev” and all are getting 400 response. what params should I put for chain when I try to get a balance of a address on my local chain for example?

#15

For local devchain not all web3api functions work, and for now I’ll have to find out how to use those few that should work. I tried yesterday with various options for chain and didn’t work for me either. I’ll come back when I’ll found out what parameters should be used for a local devchain for web3api.

#16

hello any update on this? I was hoping webAPI would work for a local devchain as testing smartcontracts on testnet takes much more time

#17

No new update for now.

#18

I have same issue. Local dev server and error on NFTBalance:

{“code”:141,“error”:“Invalid chain”}

#19

web3api still doesn’t work with local devchain

#20

Oh, do you have any estimate when this will work?

#21

You could use web3api with a testnet or mainnet network, you don’t have to change the server.

I don’t have an estimate for when web3api will work with local dev chain. We don’t expect that in the near future.
