# 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: r**eal-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

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Create a GetBlock Account

Once logged in:

1. Click **"Shared Nodes"** in the left sidebar
2. Click **"Create New Endpoint"** or the **"+"** button

3. Select:

   * **Protocol:** Polygon
   * **Network:** Mainnet or Amoy(test network)
   * **API Interface:** JSON-RPC or WebSocket
   * **Region:** Frankfurt (EU), New York (US), or Singapore (APAC)

4. Click **"Create":** Your endpoint URL will be generated immediately.
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Copy Your Endpoint URL

Your endpoint URL looks like this:

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

{% hint style="warning" %}
`<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.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Test the Connection

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

```bash
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
}'
```

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

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
