see .

Example

NOTE: In this example we are using public Ethereum endpoint. Ideally, for your own projects, you should use your own endpoint, which you can generate for free by connecting to your wallet .

NOTE: ethers used below is a well-known web3 library, check it out .

Query

import { ethers } from 'ethers';

const provider =
  new ethers
    .providers
    .JsonRpcProvider("https://www.noderpc.xyz/rpc-mainnet/public")

provider.send('eth_getBlockByNumber', ["0x1b4", true]).then((block) => {
  console.log(block);
});
