ETH RPC API

In addition to the custom RPC endpoints documented here, the Blockscout ETH RPC API supports 3 methods in the exact format specified for Ethereum nodes, see the Ethereum JSON-RPC Specification for more details.These methods are provided for your convenience. In general, custom RPC methods are recommended.The following 3 methods are supported:

eth_blockNumber
eth_getBalance
eth_getLogs

In the following examples with the base instance url https://fonscan.io. When sending a request add /api/eth-rpc to the end of the base url.

Returns the latest block number in the chain in hexidecimal format. No params are needed. Type: POST

Example

Returns the balance of a given address in wei. Note the earliest parameter does not work as expected because genesis block balances are not currently imported. Parameters are required.

Required Parameters

Example

Returns an array of logs matching a specified filter object. Params are optional based on data you want to receive. From more information, see this .

Note: Never returns more than 1000 log entries. You can use pagination options to request the next page. Pagination options params: {"logIndex": "3D", "blockNumber": "6423AC"} which include parameters from the last log received from the previous request. These three parameters are required for pagination.
