Before Getting Started

The x-chain-id value for calling the API is 8217 (Mainnet) or 1001 (Kairos).
Essential parameters for calling APIs are described in individual examples.

Values that a user needs to enter for calling APIs will be represented with one pair of braces ({}). A user must enter the following values.

Item	Description	Note
chain-id	8217 or 1001	Kaia Mainnet or Kairos
access-key-id	Auth ID	`accessKeyId` obtained from KAS Console > [Security] > [Credential]
secret-access-key	Auth Password	`secretAccessKey` obtained from KAS Console > [Security] > [Credential]
krn	(optional) ID of Account Pool	Unnecessary when using Default Account Pool

A KAS API Authentication Key (API Auth Key) provides access to all KAS services and all the rights to a Kaia account which was created by calling Wallet API via this API Auth Key. The rights here include accessing and transferring all the assets (KAIA, etc.) of or sending a transaction from a Kaia account. If you shared your API Auth Key with any unauthorized personnel, your Kaia account could be compromised and might cause unwanted transaction execution.

danger

DO NOT share your API Auth Key (Secret AccessKey or Authorization) with any unauthorized personnel DO PUT efforts necessary to keep your API Auth Key safe for the security of your KAS/Kaia account.

info

Generate Operator

Create Operator Click the "Create" button on the KAS Console > Service > Anchor > Operator menu to display the screen for creating operators as follows.

Service - Anchor - Operator

Configure Transaction Fee Payments for Data Anchoring Transaction For creating an operator on the KAS Console, set the account that would pay the anchoring transaction fee for data to be sent by the operator.

Create Operator and Configure Anchoring Transaction Fee

Parameter	Description
feepayer	User fee delegation payment account address. Used when paying data anchoring transaction fees using the fee-payer account.
useOperator	Whether the operator or KAS will pay data anchoring transaction fee (the transaction fee will be charged to the user)
useGlobalFeepayer	Whether the fee payer account provided by KAS first pays the bill (the transaction fee will be charged to the user later)

Use useGlobalFeepayer to send the data anchoring transaction even if the KAIA balance is insufficient.
An error will occur if all thee parameters are not set.
The data anchoring transaction fee will be delegated according to the following priorities if one or more parameters are entered.
warning
To ensure smooth execution of the anchoring transaction, use useGlobalFeepayer.

info
To use feepayer, first create a Fee Delegation Account Pool and Fee Delegation Account. The fee-payer account address (address) and KRN value of the fee delegation Account Pool are required to use the feepayer.

Priority	Parameter	the transaction fee payer
1	`feepayer`	User’s separate fee-payer account
2	`useOperator`	Operator
3	`useGlobalFeepayer`	KAS (transaction fee will be charged to the user later)

The account with higher priority will pay the anchoring transaction fee first if all three parameters are used. If the operator struggles to pay the transaction fee because of insufficient feepayer account balance, the operator that sends an anchoring transaction will directly pay the fee as it has the next priority.

The example of using feepayer and global_feepayer

Expected Results by Parameter Settings

useGlobalFeepayer	feepayer	useOperator	Priority
false	X	false	Error
true	X	false	KAS
false	X	true	Operator
true	X	true	Operator > KAS
false	O	false	User fee payer
false	O	true	User fee payer > Operator
true	O	true	User fee payer > Operator > KAS
true	O	false	User fee payer > KAS

Create Operator Once the parameters are set, create an operator. The operator must have a different name from other operators on the current KAS account.

Information of Created Operator

Operator You can check the created operator in the operator list. Or you can call all operator list search APIs and search.

For inquires about this document or KAS, please visit KAS Developers Forum.

Get Operator List

API Request

Search for the list of created operators and setting values of each one. You may use the REST API or KAS SDKs (caver-js, caver-java extensions) for this.

Query Parameter You can receive API response values with Cursor-based Pagination . The search range can also be set by second.

Parameter	Description	Example	Required or Not
size	the number of items in the API response (min=1, max=1000, default=100)	`size=100`	False
cursor	the cursor required to get the next batch of response items	`cursor=J9Ag...VM6z`	False
