RPC Quickstart
Send your first authenticated Solana JSON-RPC request.
Use JSON-RPC for account reads, block data, transaction submission, and cluster status.
Before you start
You need a NoLimitNodes project with an active node.
Create a project
Sign in to the dashboard. Create a project and add a Solana node.
Copy the key
Open the node page. Copy its API key and store the value in
NLN_API_KEY.Send a request
Call the RPC endpoint with the key in the
x-api-keyheader.
export NLN_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY" curl https://rpc.nln.clr3.org \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "x-api-key: $NLN_API_KEY" \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"quickstart","method":"getHealth"}'A healthy node returns:
{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "result": "ok", "id": "quickstart"}Read the current slot
const response = await fetch("https://rpc.nln.clr3.org", { method: "POST", headers: { "content-type": "application/json", "x-api-key": process.env.NLN_API_KEY, }, body: JSON.stringify({ jsonrpc: "2.0", id: "slot", method: "getSlot", params: [{ commitment: "confirmed" }], }),}) const body = await response.json()if (!response.ok || body.error) { throw new Error(body.error?.message ?? `HTTP ${response.status}`)} console.log(body.result)Production checklist
- Set a request timeout.
- Retry
429,500, and503responses with backoff. - Do not retry invalid parameters.
- Keep your key on the server.
- Log the JSON-RPC request ID with each error.
