.then(response => console.log(response.data))
.catch(error => console.error(error));

requests.py

import requests

    let client = reqwest::Client::new();
    
    let response = client
        .post("https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/")
        .header(header::CONTENT_TYPE, "application/json")
        .body(r#"{
            "jsonrpc": "2.0",

        .send()
        .await?;
    
    println!("{}", response.text().await?);
    Ok(())
}

eth_sendTransaction requires the node to have access to the sender's private key. This is typically only possible on local or dedicated nodes. For shared/public nodes, use eth_sendRawTransaction with a pre-signed transaction instead.
