1. How to Connect via cURL

Here’s how you add your access credentials to a cURL request:

curl -X POST 'YOUR_ENDPOINT_URL' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'X-Auth-Token: YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN' --data-raw '{"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"RPC_METHOD","params":METHOD_PARAMS}'

• Replace YOUR_ENDPOINT_URL with the Endpoint URL in the Blockdaemon app.
• Replace YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN with the Auth Token in the Blockdaemon app.
• Replace METHOD_PARAMS with the necessary parameters for your RPC.
• Replace RPC_METHOD with your chosen RPC method.

2. How to Connect via Python

The following describes how to run a simple Python application that returns the current best block.

1. Create a Python script called litecoin_rpc.py

import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

auth_token = (
    "<YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN>"  
)
rpc_url = "https://<YOUR_NODE_URL>" 

payload = {
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": "curltest",
    "method": "getbestblockhash", 
    "params": [],
}

headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json", "X-Auth-Token": auth_token}
response = requests.post(
    rpc_url,
    json=payload,
    headers=headers,
)

if response.status_code == 200:
    print(response.json())
else:
    print(f"Error: {response.status_code}, {response.text}")

2. Run the script

python3 litecoin_rpc.py
