RPC Providers

NEAR Protocol exposes a JSON-RPC API for interacting with the network. You can use any of the providers below or run your own node.

FastNear maintains a comprehensive dashboard with response times for most of the available endpoints.

Making requests

All endpoints accept JSON-RPC 2.0 POST requests. The NEAR RPC uses a non-standard format where the method name is encoded in the URL path rather than the request body.

curl -X POST https://rpc.mainnet.near.org/status \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{}'

Run your own node

To run a local RPC node, follow the NEAR node documentation.

Testnet tokens have no real value and can be obtained from the NEAR Faucet.
