1. Log into the [Blockdaemon app](https://app.blockdaemon.com/).
2. Select **Nodes & RPC** from the sidebar menu
3. Go to the **My Nodes** tab and select the **Litecoin** node you want to connect to.
4. Under the **Connect** tab, you’ll find:
   1. Endpoint URL
   2. Auth String
   3. Auth Token

## 1. How to Connect via cURL

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

```curl
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](https://app.blockdaemon.com/signin/register).
* Replace `YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN` with the Auth Token in the [Blockdaemon app](https://app.blockdaemon.com/signin/register).
* Replace `METHOD_PARAMS` with the necessary parameters for your RPC.
* Replace `RPC_METHOD` with your chosen [RPC method](https://docs.blockdaemon.com/docs/litecoin-rpc-methods).

## 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`

```python
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

```python
python3 litecoin_rpc.py
```
