## Example Request

Here is a cURL example for using **[status](https://docs.near.org/api/rpc/network#node-status)** to get status information for nodes and validators in NEAR Mainnet:

```curl
curl -X POST \
https://svc.blockdaemon.com/near/mainnet/native \

-d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "status", "params": []}'
```

```json
