createThirdwebClient

Creates a Thirdweb client using the provided client ID (client-side) or secret key (server-side).

Get your client ID and secret key from the Thirdweb dashboard here . **Never share your secret key with anyone.

A client is necessary for most functions in the thirdweb SDK. It provides access to thirdweb APIs including built-in RPC, storage, and more.

Create a client on the client side (client ID):

import { createThirdwebClient } from "thirdweb";
 
const client = createThirdwebClient({ clientId: "..." });

Create a client on the server (secret key):

import { createThirdwebClient } from "thirdweb";
 
const client = createThirdwebClient({ secretKey: "..." });

function createThirdwebClient(
  options: CreateThirdwebClientOptions,
): ThirdwebClient;

let options: Prettify<
  (
    | { clientId: string; secretKey?: never }
    | { clientId?: never; secretKey: string }
  ) &
    ClientOptions
>;

let returnType: {
  readonly clientId: string;
  readonly secretKey: string | undefined;
} & Readonly<ClientOptions>;
