Explore NEAR, a blockchain platform built for fast and low-cost transactions. Build user-friendly decentralized applications using its RPC gateway.
The NEAR RPC documentation provides developers with the necessary tools to interact programmatically with the NEAR blockchain. NEAR is designed for scalability, low fees, and fast transaction finality, making it an ideal platform for decentralized applications (dApps) and financial applications. The documentation includes key API endpoints for querying blockchain data, managing smart contracts, and submitting transactions. NEAR’s architecture ensures efficient development and deployment of scalable dApps with its developer-friendly environment.

RPC Gateway for NEAR blockchain
NEAR RPC networks
Connect to NEAR and Fetch the Latest Block
This widget lets you instantly query the latest block height (or equivalent) for NEAR using a chain-specific RPC method like eth_blockNumber, getblockcount, or getBlockHeight. Useful for connectivity checks, uptime monitoring, or API testing.
Retrieve NEAR Node Status or Client Version via RPC
Use this pre-configured request to get version or status information for your connected NEAR node. Whether it's web3_clientVersion, getblockchaininfo, or chain-specific endpoints, the method is optimized for each supported blockchain.
Test NEAR RPC Methods in Postman
Explore and test NEAR blockchain methods instantly using our pre-configured Postman collection. Perfect for developers who want to experiment with NEAR RPC endpoints, validate API responses, or integrate NEAR into their applications.
How to use the NEAR Postman Collection
- Get your API key: Visit Tatum Dashboard to obtain your free API key
- Import the collection: Click the "Run in Postman" button below to import the NEAR collection
- Configure your environment: Update the
gateway-api-keyvariable in the Tatum Gateway environment - Start testing: Execute any NEAR RPC method and see real-time responses
Available NEAR interfaces and methods
Each NEAR network and interface below exposes its own set of RPC methods, listed live from Tatum's RPC Gateway. Query these endpoints for any interface to explore what it supports:
