RPC API methods
Developers can interact with on-chain data and execute various types of transactions using network endpoints. These APIs adhere to the JSON-RPC standard, a stateless, lightweight remote procedure call (RPC) protocol.
Getting started with RPC calls
For a comprehensive list of API documentation, visit your RPC provider’s documentation.
To explore API requests without any setup, fix failing requests, or discover new methods on the Polygon network, try the Composer App.
