TRON RPC Quickstart
This guide takes you from zero to your first TRON 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 to
/jsonrpc, with your API key in the api-key parameter:bash
curl 'https://edge.erpc.global/tron/jsonrpc?api-key=<YOUR_API_KEY>' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{
"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,
"method":"eth_blockNumber"
}'curl 'https://edge.erpc.global/tron/jsonrpc?api-key=<YOUR_API_KEY>' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{
"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,
"method":"eth_blockNumber"
}'The response returns the latest block number in hexadecimal:
json
{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "result": "0x..." }{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "result": "0x..." }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 which chain the endpoint serves with
eth_chainId:bash
curl 'https://edge.erpc.global/tron/jsonrpc?api-key=<YOUR_API_KEY>' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{
"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,
"method":"eth_chainId"
}'curl 'https://edge.erpc.global/tron/jsonrpc?api-key=<YOUR_API_KEY>' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{
"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,
"method":"eth_chainId"
}'You can also send your API key as
Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>. When both are present, the query parameter is used.3. Call the TRON HTTP API
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.
The TRON HTTP API paths are served under
/wallet/<name> and /walletsolidity/<name>. Send a JSON object as the POST body. This example reads the latest block with an empty object:bash
curl 'https://edge.erpc.global/tron/wallet/getnowblock?api-key=<YOUR_API_KEY>' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{}'curl 'https://edge.erpc.global/tron/wallet/getnowblock?api-key=<YOUR_API_KEY>' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{}'Each HTTP API request is metered as one call. The paths that are available are listed in the TRON RPC Endpoint Documentation.
4. Batch Requests
You can send 1 to 100 JSON-RPC calls in a single HTTP request to
/jsonrpc. 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
