The Native RPC API allows you to delve deeply into a specific blockchain network. With the Native RPC API, you no longer need to maintain infrastructure for multiple protocols. Just point your calls to our Native API and access multiple blockchains quickly and easily.

Follow the steps below to get started with the Native RPC API.

Step 1. Sign Up For an API Key

Before you can use the Blockdaemon Native RPC API, you need to get an API key. This is how you do it:

• Go to the Blockdaemon website.
• Create an account.
• Once you have an account, you can find your API key on your Blockdaemon dashboard.

Step 2. Get Familiar with the Supported Native Methods

The Blockdaemon Native RPC API provides a variety of Native methods available for each protocol. Familiarize yourself with the available native methods by visiting here

Step 3. Test the API

You can test the API by sending a simple API request using the method of your choice. The API will return the requested data in JSON format. You can use your preferred API platform, such as Postman.

For example, to get the current block number in Ethereum Mainnet, you can use the following endpoint:

https://svc.blockdaemon.com/ethereum/mainnet/native

Now, specify the method eth_blockNumber in the request body like this:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "eth_blockNumber",
  "params": []
}

Step 4. Integrate the API Into Your Application

Once you have tested the API and are familiar with its endpoints, you can start integrating it into your application in the way that best fits your needs.
