Core JSON-RPC Methods - Coinbase Developer Documentation

Constructing Requests

Option 1: You can use the JSON-RPC playground to easily create sample JSON-RPC requests. Option 2: Alternatively, you can construct your own requests by following the below steps:

Go to the Node page in the CDP Portal.
Ensure the correct network in your RPC URL (either base or base-sepolia).
Open a terminal and make your requests based on the supported methods in this API reference page.

AuthenticationFor information on how to authenticate requests to our JSON-RPC APIs, please visit the Client API Key section of our Authentication page.

Batch Requests

Below is an example of a batch request for a JSON-RPC API method.
