- RPC API: provided for developers transitioning their applications from Etherscan to Blockscout. Supports GET and POST requests.
- Eth RPC API: Supports the most popular JSON RPC methods.
- Graphiql: An IDE for exploring GraphQL.
API access in new instance
API Keys are not needed by default. Blockscout instances have a standard global request setting of 50/requests per second. However, My Account users can add up to 3 API keys to ensure 10 request/second limits.
