​
Making requests

All endpoints accept JSON-RPC 2.0 POST requests. The NEAR RPC uses a non-standard format where the method name is encoded in the URL path rather than the request body. 
curl -X POST https://rpc.mainnet.near.org/status \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{}'

​
Run your own node

To run a local RPC node, follow the NEAR node documentation.
Testnet tokens have no real value and can be obtained from the NEAR Faucet.
