Protocol Call Reference

NEAR Protocol provides multiple ways to interact with the network — from low-level JSON-RPC calls to visual explorers and wallets.

Tools

NEAR Explorer

Browse transactions, accounts, blocks, and contracts on mainnet and testnet.

NEAR Wallet

Create and manage NEAR accounts, send tokens, and interact with dApps.

RPC API

NEAR exposes a JSON-RPC 2.0 API for programmatic access to the network. All requests are POST to a provider endpoint, with the method name encoded in the URL path.

curl -X POST https://rpc.mainnet.near.org/status \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{}'

See RPC Providers for the full list of public endpoints.
