    /*
    * Replace with your Values
    */
    var apikey = "YOURAPIKEY"
    var ethereumaddress = "ETHEREUMADDRESS"; // Ethereum address you want to get the balance of
    var contractaddress = "CONTRACTADDRESS"; // Smart contract address of the Token

   var axios = require('axios');

    var config = {
        method: 'get',
        maxBodyLength: Infinity,
        url: 'https://api.chaingateway.io/v2/ethereum/balances/'+ethereumaddress+'/erc20/'+contractaddress,
        headers: { 
            'Accept': 'application/json',
            'Authorization': apikey
        }
    };

        axios(config)
        .then(function (response) {
        console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data));
        })
        .catch(function (error) {
        console.log(error);
        });

  1. Replace “YOURAPIKEY” in line 5 of above code with the API Key in your Chaingateway.io Account Panel.
  2. Replace “ETHEREUMADDRESS” in line 6 of above code with the Ethereum address you want to get the balance of.
  3. Replace “CONTRACTADDRESS” in line 7 of above code with the smart contract address of the Token

Final Steps

Upload the code above to your local or remote machine
