1. How to Connect via cURL

curl -X POST \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer ${YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN}" \
     --data '{
               "id": 1,
               "jsonrpc": "2.0",
               "method": "RPC_METHOD",
               "params": [METHOD_PARAMS]
             }' \
     "https://${YOUR_NODE_URL}.bdnodes.net"

• Replace YOUR_NODE_URL with the node URL in the Blockdaemon app.
• Replace YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN with the Auth Token in the Blockdaemon app.
• Replace RPC_METHOD with your chosen RPC method.
• Replace METHOD_PARAMS with parameters from the selected RPC method.

2. How to Connect via WebSocket

Add your access credentials to a WebSocket connection request:

wscat -H "X-Auth-Token: YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN" -c wss://YOUR_ENDPOINT_URL:8443/websocket

• Replace YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN with the Auth Token in the Blockdaemon app.
• Replace YOUR_NODE_URL with the node URL in the Blockdaemon app.

Info:

wscat is a tool that can connect over WebSocket(s) and may need to be installed. You can use your preferred tool of choice.
