NEAR RPC Quickstart
This guide takes you from zero to your first NEAR JSON-RPC response with ERPC.
1. Get Your API Key
You can obtain and check your API key on the ERPC Web Dashboard: ERPC Web Dashboard
Already using ERPC for Solana, Ethereum, or Avalanche? You can use the same RPC key.
2. Make Your First Request
Send a JSON-RPC 2.0 request as an HTTP POST, with your API key in the
api-key parameter:bash
curl 'https://edge.erpc.global/near?api-key=<YOUR_API_KEY>' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{
"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,
"method":"block",
"params":{"finality":"final"}
}'curl 'https://edge.erpc.global/near?api-key=<YOUR_API_KEY>' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{
"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,
"method":"block",
"params":{"finality":"final"}
}'The response returns the latest finalized block in the
result field.On the Free plan, your account can send one request per 10 seconds, and a request to another chain can also count toward this limit. Wait 10 seconds before sending the next request.
You can check the node and its chain with
status:bash
curl 'https://edge.erpc.global/near?api-key=<YOUR_API_KEY>' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{
"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,
"method":"status",
"params":[]
}'curl 'https://edge.erpc.global/near?api-key=<YOUR_API_KEY>' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{
"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,
"method":"status",
"params":[]
}'You can also send your API key as
Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>. When both are present, the query parameter is used.3. Batch Requests
You can send 1 to 100 JSON-RPC calls in a single HTTP request. Every call needs its own
id, and id values must not repeat within a batch. Each call in a batch is metered as its own call. On the Free plan, send one call per request: a request with two or more calls is answered with HTTP 429.Next Steps
