{% step %}

#### Copy Your Endpoint URL

Your endpoint URL looks like this:

```
https://go.getblock.io/a1b2c3d4e5f6789012345678abcdef01/
```

{% hint style="warning" %}
The long string after `go.getblock.io/` is your **access token** — keep it private.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Test the Connection

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="cURL" %}

```bash
curl -X POST https://go.getblock.io/<YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN>/ \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
 "jsonrpc":"2.0",
 "method":"eth_chainId",
 "params":[],
 "id":1
}'
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Response" %}

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "result": 0x89,
  "id": 1
}
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Code Example

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Ethers.js" %}

```javascript
import { JsonRpcProvider } from "ethers";

const provider = new JsonRpcProvider("https://go.getblock.io/<YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN>/");
const block = await provider.getBlockNumber();
console.log("Latest Polygon block:", block);
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Python" %}

```python
from web3 import Web3

w3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider("https://go.getblock.io/<YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN>/"))
print("Chain ID:", w3.eth.chain_id)  # 137
print("Block:", w3.eth.block_number)
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
