Request

curl --location --request POST 'https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "eth_chainId",
    "params": [],
    "id": "getblock.io"
}'

import requests

})

headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=payload)
print(response.text)

Web3 Integration

import { ethers } from 'ethers';

const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider('https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/');

const network = await provider.getNetwork();
console.log('Chain ID:', network.chainId.toString()); // 143

// Verify connected to Monad Mainnet
if (network.chainId === 143n) {
    console.log('Connected to Monad Mainnet');
}

import { createPublicClient, http } from 'viem';
import { monad } from 'viem/chains';

// Create Viem client with GetBlock
const client = createPublicClient({
  chain: monad,
  transport: http("https://go.getblock.us/<ACCESS_TOKEN>"),
});

// Using the method through Viem
async function fetchAccountViem() {
    try {
        // Method-specific Viem implementation
        const result = await client.request({
            method: 'eth_chainId',
            param: [],
        });
        console.log('Result:', result);
        return result;
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Viem Error:', error);
        throw error;
    }
}
