LeoYeAI CRITICAL: Read Rule Files Before Implementing
The #1 cause of bugs is not reading the endpoint rule file before writing code.
For EVERY endpoint:
- Read
rules/{EndpointName}.md - Find "Example Response" section
- Copy the EXACT JSON structure
- Note field names (snake_case), data types, HTTP method, path, wrapper structure
Reading Order:
- This SKILL.md (core patterns)
- Endpoint rule file in
rules/ - Pattern references in
references/(for edge cases only)
Setup
API Key (optional)
Never ask the user to paste their API key into the chat. Instead:
- Check if
MORALIS_API_KEYis set in the environment (try running[ -n "$MORALIS_API_KEY" ] && echo "API key is set" || echo "API key is NOT set"). - If not set, offer to create the
.envfile with an empty placeholder:MORALIS_API_KEY= - Tell the user to open the
.envfile and paste their key there themselves. - Let them know: without the key, you won't be able to test or call the Moralis API on their behalf.
If they don't have a key yet, point them to admin.moralis.com/register (free, no credit card).
Environment Variable Discovery
The .env file location depends on how skills are installed:
Create the .env file in the project root (same directory the user runs Claude Code from). Make sure .env is in .gitignore.

Quick Reference: Most Common Patterns
Data Type Rules
| Field | Reality | NOT |
|---|---|---|
block_number |
Decimal 12386788 |
Hex 0xf2b5a4 |
timestamp |
ISO "2021-05-07T11:08:35.000Z" |
Unix 1620394115 |
balance |
String "1000000000000000000" |
Number |
decimals |
String or number | Always number |
Block Numbers (always decimal)
block_number: 12386788; // number - use directly
block_number: "12386788"; // string - parseInt(block_number, 10)
Timestamps (usually ISO strings)
"2021-05-07T11:08:35.000Z"; // → new Date(timestamp).getTime()
Balances (always strings unless its a property named "formatted" eg. balanceFormatted, BigInt)
balance: "1000000000000000000";
// → (Number(BigInt(balance)) / 1e18).toFixed(6)
Response Patterns
| Pattern | Example Endpoints |
|---|---|
Direct array [...] |
getWalletTokenBalancesPrice, getTokenMetadata |
Wrapped { result: [] } |
getWalletNFTs, getWalletTransactions |
Paginated { page, cursor, result } |
getWalletHistory, getNFTTransfers |
// Safe extraction
const data = Array.isArray(response) ? response : response.result || [];
Common Field Mappings
token_address → tokenAddress
from_address_label → fromAddressLabel
block_number → blockNumber
receipt_status: "1" → success, "0" → failed
possible_spam: "true"/"false" → boolean check
Common Pitfalls (Top 5)
- Block numbers are decimal, not hex - Use
parseInt(x, 10), notparseInt(x, 16) - Timestamps are ISO strings - Use
new Date(timestamp).getTime() - Balances are strings - Use
BigInt(balance)for math - Response may be wrapped - Check for
.resultbefore.map() - Path inconsistencies - Some use
/wallets/{address}/..., others/{address}/...
See references/CommonPitfalls.md for complete reference.
Pagination
Many endpoints use cursor-based pagination:
# First request
curl "...?limit=100" -H "X-API-Key: $KEY"
# Next page
curl "...?limit=100&cursor=<cursor_from_response>" -H "X-API-Key: $KEY"
See references/Pagination.md for details.

# Wallet Transactions (note result wrapper)
curl "https://deep-index.moralis.io/api/v2.2/${ADDRESS}?chain=${CHAIN}&limit=5" \
-H "X-API-Key: $MORALIS_API_KEY" | jq '.result'
Quick Troubleshooting
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| "Property does not exist" | Field name mismatch | Check snake_case in rule file |
| "Cannot read undefined" | Missing optional field | Use ?. optional chaining |
| "blockNumber is NaN" | Parsing decimal as hex | Use radix 10: parseInt(x, 10) |
| "Wrong timestamp" | Parsing ISO as number | Use new Date(timestamp).getTime() |
| "404 Not Found" | Wrong endpoint path | Verify path in rule file |
Performance & Timeouts
Most endpoints respond quickly under normal conditions. Response times can vary based on wallet activity volume, chain, and query complexity.
Recommended client timeouts:
- Simple queries (balance, price, metadata): 10s
- Complex queries (wallet history, DeFi positions): 30s
Large wallets with extensive transaction histories may take longer — use pagination with reasonable limit values.
See references/PerformanceAndLatency.md for optimization tips.
Default Chain Behavior
EVM addresses (0x...): Default to Ethereum (chain=0x1) unless specified.
Solana addresses (base58): Auto-detected and routed to Solana API.
Supported Chains
EVM (40+ chains): Ethereum (0x1), Polygon (0x89), BSC (0x38), Arbitrum (0xa4b1), Optimism (0xa), Base (0x2105), Avalanche (0xa86a), and more.
Solana: Mainnet, Devnet
