Make requests

The Polygon PoS network supports API requests using HTTP, and supports all Ethereum JSON-RPCs. Infura also provides access to archive data for API calls that require access to data older than 128 blocks.
Additional Polygon-specific JSON-RPC APIs are also available.
WebSocket calls are not supported when using the Polygon endpoints.
Call a JSON-RPC method
Use HTTPS to call a JSON-RPC method. In this example we use curl to make the HTTPS request.
Note: Ensure that you replace YOUR-API-KEY with an API key from your Infura dashboard.
$ curl -X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "eth_blockNumber", "params": []}' \
"https://polygon-mainnet.infura.io/v3/YOUR-API-KEY"
The result should look similar to the following:
$ {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":"0x17c3d14"}
