How to Get a Polygon RPC Endpoint

Step-by-step guide to getting a fast, reliable Polygon RPC endpoint.

Polygon PoS is one of the most widely used Ethereum scaling solutions, powering DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, gaming applications, and enterprise solutions.

Available Service on GetBlock

• Archive data: query historical state at any block (all plans)

• Trace & Debug: debug_traceTransaction, trace_block (Starter+)

• WebSocket: real-time subscriptions via wss://shared.eu-central-1.getblock.io/<TOKEN>/

• Multi-region: Frankfurt, New York, Singapore

• Dedicated Nodes: unlimited RPS, from $1,000/mo

This guide shows you how to get a reliable Polygon RPC endpoint — from free development access to production-grade infrastructure.

Step-by-Step: Get Your Polygon RPC Endpoint

1

Create a GetBlock Account

Go to GetBlock Dashboard and sign up. You can register with email or via Google/GitHub OAuth.

2

Create a Polygon Endpoint

Once logged in:

1. Click "Shared Nodes" in the left sidebar

2. Click "Create New Endpoint" or the "+" button

1. Select:

   • Protocol: Polygon

   • Network: Mainnet or Amoy(test network)

   • API Interface: JSON-RPC or WebSocket

   • Region: Frankfurt (EU), New York (US), or Singapore (APAC)

   
2. Click "Create": Your endpoint URL will be generated immediately.

3

Copy Your Endpoint URL

Your endpoint URL looks like this:

https://shared.<region>.getblock.io/a1b2c3d4e5f6789012345678abcdef01/

<region> is eu-central-1 (Frankfurt), us-east-1 (New York), or ap-southeast-1 (Singapore) — whichever you picked in step 2.

The long string after the host is your access token — keep it private.

Test the Connection

cURL

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

Response

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

Code Example

Ethers.js

import { JsonRpcProvider } from "ethers";

const provider = new JsonRpcProvider("https://shared.eu-central-1.getblock.io/<YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN>/");
const block = await provider.getBlockNumber();
console.log("Latest Polygon block:", block);

Python

from web3 import Web3

w3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider("https://shared.eu-central-1.getblock.io/<YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN>/"))
print("Chain ID:", w3.eth.chain_id)  # 137
print("Block:", w3.eth.block_number)
