Step 3: Specify a Bitcoin method in the request body:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",

}
Example Request
Here is a cURL example for using getblockcount to get the height of the most-work fully-validated chain in Bitcoin Mainnet:
curl -X POST \
https://svc.blockdaemon.com/bitcoin/mainnet/native \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "getblockcount", "params": []}'
The following is a typical response you will get:
{
"result": 748958,
"error": null,
"id": 1
}
