1006 Error Message

To ensure a safer and smoother experience for our users, we have introduced a new proactive measure to prevent spamming of our sites API. Users found engaging in this behavior will face IP bans and receive a 1006 Error Message, blocking access to our API.

We value our users’ experience and want to provide the best service possible. Instead of facing disruptions, we encourage users to refer to our Public API documentation as referenced above. Here, you will find a list of shared endpoints specifically designed for public use. Using these shared endpoints will help users avoid further disruptions and enjoy a seamless interaction with our services.

Technical Assistance and Support

As part of the upcoming platform changes, Magic Eden is winding down support for certain APIs and developer services.

While some APIs may remain accessible for a limited time, active developer support will be significantly reduced, and our team may not be able to provide
troubleshooting or integration assistance.

Developers currently relying on Magic Eden APIs should plan accordingly and ensure they export any required data or migrate their integrations before the relevant shutdown dates.
