TON API by GetBlock
This guide will cover essential steps in acquiring and using private RPC endpoints by GetBlock to access the TON blockchain.
GetBlock is a Web3 infrastructure provider, offers HTTP-based API endpoints for clients to interact with various blockchain networks, including TON.
How to Access TON Blockchain Endpoints
To start using GetBlock’s endpoints, users are required to log in to their account, retrieve a TON endpoint URL, and they're good to go. Follow along for more detailed guidance.
1. Create a GetBlock Account
Visit the GetBlock website and locate the “Get Started for Free” button on the main page. Sign up for an account with your email address or by connecting a MetaMask wallet.
2. Select the TON Blockchain
After signing in, you’ll be redirected to the dashboard. Locate the section titled "My Endpoints" and select "TON" under the "Protocols" dropdown menu.
Choose the desired network and API type (JSON-RPC or JSON-RPC(v2)).
3. Generate Your Endpoint URL
Click on the “Get” button to generate your TON blockchain endpoint URL.
All endpoints within the GetBlock API follow a consistent structure: https://go.getblock.io/[ACCESS TOKEN]/
.
These access tokens serve as unique identifiers for each user or application and contain information necessary for routing the request to appropriate endpoints without revealing sensitive details. It essentially replaces the need for separate authorization headers or API keys.
Users have the flexibility to generate multiple endpoints, roll tokens if compromised, or delete unused endpoints.
Now, you can use these URLs to interact with the TON blockchain, query data, send transactions, and build decentralized applications without the hassle of infrastructure setup and maintenance.
Free Requests and User Limits
Please note that every registered GetBlock user receives 40,000 free requests capped at 60 RPS (Requests per Second). The request balance is renewed daily and can be utilized on any shared endpoints across supported blockchains.
For enhanced features and capabilities, users have the option to explore paid options, which will be outlined below.
GetBlock.io offers two types of plans: Shared Nodes and Dedicated Nodes. Clients can choose the tariff based on their requirements and budget.
