SDK Integration

import { ApiPromise, WsProvider } from '@polkadot/api';

const wsProvider = new WsProvider('wss://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/');
const api = await ApiPromise.create({ provider: wsProvider });

// Call via the typed API:
const result = await api.rpc.childstate.getStorage("0x3a6368696c645f73746f726167653a64656661756c743a", "0x80");
console.log(result.toJSON());

// Or call the raw JSON-RPC method:
const raw = await api.rpc.rpc.methods();
// const raw = await (api as any)._rpcCore.provider.send('childstate_getStorage', ["0x3a6368696c645f73746f726167653a64656661756c743a", "0x80"]);

from substrateinterface import SubstrateInterface

substrate = SubstrateInterface(url='wss://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/')

# Generic RPC call:
result = substrate.rpc_request('childstate_getStorage', ["0x3a6368696c645f73746f726167653a64656661756c743a", "0x80"])
