Ethereum: Trouble using safe-api-kit

Troubleshooting Safe-Api-Kit Issues

Are you experiencing difficulties when trying to use the safe-api-kit library in your Ethereum project? In this article, we’ll explore common issues and provide steps to resolve them.

Common Issues with Safe-Api-Kit

Before diving into troubleshooting, let’s cover some common issues that may be causing problems:

1.
Importing SafeApiKit incorrectly

The quick start example you provided is a good starting point, but ensure that you’re importing the correct SafeApiKit module. The official documentation recommends using @safe-global/api-kit.

Try this:

import SafeApiKit from '@safe-global/api-kit';

2.
Configuring chainId

The chainId option is crucial for connecting to a specific Ethereum chain (e.g., mainnet, testnet). Make sure you’re passing the correct value.

Try this:

const apiKit = new SafeApiKit({

  chainId: '0x...// Replace with your chain ID

});

3.
Missing dependencies

Ensure that the necessary dependencies are installed and imported in your project.

Try this:

npm install @safe-global/api-kit // or yarn add @safe-global/api-kit

4.
Incompatible versions

Double-check that you’re using a compatible version of safe-api-kit. You can check the [official documentation]( for compatibility guidelines.

Try this:

npm install --save @safe-global/api-kit@latest

or

yarn add @safe-global/api-kit@latest

5.
Missing safeGlobal module

The safe-api-kit library relies on the safeGlobal module to interact with the Ethereum blockchain.

Try this:

const safeGlobal = require('@safe-global/safeGlobal');

import SafeApiKit from '@safe-global/api-kit';

6.
Network issues

Ethereum network problems can cause connectivity issues. Ensure that your project is connected to a local network or try setting the network option on the SafeApiKit instance.

Try this:

const apiKit = new SafeApiKit({

  chainId: '0x...// Replace with your chain ID,

  network: 'mainnet'

});

7.
Token support

If you’re using a specific token (e.g., ETH, ETC), ensure that it’s supported by the safe-api-kit library.

Try this:

const apiKit = new SafeApiKit({

  chainId: '0x...// Replace with your chain ID,

  tokens: ['eth'] // Only use one of these token types for now

});

By addressing these common issues, you should be able to resolve the trouble using safe-api-kit in your Ethereum project.
