In this guide, we will cover the following connection methods:


Near RPC Connection via cURL

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

curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0", "method":"YOUR_RPC_METHOD"}' '{YOUR_ENDPOINT_URL}?auth={YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN}'
  • Replace YOUR_RPC_METHOD with your chosen RPC method.
  • Replace YOUR_ENDPOINT_URL with the Endpoint URL sent by your Blockdaemon TAM.
  • Replace YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN with the Auth Token sent by your Blockdaemon TAM.

Near Connection via WebSocket

wscat -H "X-Auth-Token: YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN" -c wss://YOUR_ENDPOINT_URL:8443/websocket
  • Replace YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN with the Auth Token sent by your Blockdaemon TAM.
  • Replace YOUR_ENDPOINT_URL with the Endpoint URL sent by your Blockdaemon TAM.

📘

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.
