How to retrieve a TON Center API key

Overview​

When using the TON Center HTTP API, a token (API key) is generally not required. However, having a key may provide higher request rate limits. There are several available plans, all of which can be viewed in the TON Center Mini App. Each subscription plan comes with specific rate limits, ranging from 10 requests/second on the Free plan up to 100 requests/second on Advanced, with higher or tailored limits available on Enterprise. Choosing a paid plan also unlocks more tokens per network and access to private liteservers.
