    "method": "get_fee_rate_statistics",
    "params": [],
    "id": "getblock.io"

}

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

Rust (Reqwest)

use reqwest::Client;
use serde_json::json;

#[tokio::main]

SDK Integration

@ckb-lumos/lumos

import { RPC } from '@ckb-lumos/rpc';

const rpc = new RPC('https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/');

// Lumos provides typed methods on `rpc` (e.g. rpc.getTipHeader(), rpc.getBlock(hash)).
// For raw access to any CKB RPC method:
const result = await rpc.send('get_fee_rate_statistics', []);
console.log(result);

# Using the official CKB SDK Python (ckb-sdk-python).
# For methods not yet wrapped, fall back to raw requests.
import requests

response = requests.post('https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/', json={
    'jsonrpc': '2.0',
