How to Connect to Pythnet RPC via cURL

Use cURL to establish a Pythnet RPC connection with the following command:

curl --location 'YOUR_NODE_URL' \
     --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     --header 'X-Auth-Token: YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN' \
     --data '{
       "id": 1,
       "jsonrpc": "2.0",
       "method": "RPC_METHOD",
       "params": [METHOD_PARAMS]
     }'

• 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 the parameters of your chosen method.

How to Connect to Pythnet via WebSocket

Add your access credentials to a WebSocket connection request:

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