#🌐 Usage Examples

#REST API Examples

# Using curl
curl -X GET "https://testnet-rest.lavenderfive.com:443/ika//status" \
  -H "x-api-key: your-api-key-uuid"

# Using JavaScript/fetch
const response = await fetch(
  "https://testnet-rest.lavenderfive.com:443/ika//status",
  {
    headers: {
      'x-api-key': 'your-api-key-uuid'
    }
  }
);

#RPC Examples

# Using curl
curl -X POST "https://testnet-rpc.lavenderfive.com:443/ika/" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-api-key: your-api-key-uuid" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "status",
    "params": [],
    "id": 1
  }'

# Using JavaScript
const response = await fetch("https://testnet-rpc.lavenderfive.com:443/ika/", {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'x-api-key': 'your-api-key-uuid'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    jsonrpc: '2.0',
    method: 'status',
    params: [],
    id: 1
  })
});

#gRPC Examples

# Using grpcurl
grpcurl -H "x-api-key: your-api-key-uuid" \
  testnet-ika.lavenderfive.com:443/ \
  list

# Using Python with grpcio
import grpc

def create_stub():
    credentials = grpc.metadata_call_credentials(
        lambda context, callback: callback([("x-api-key", "your-api-key-uuid")], None)
    )
    
    channel = grpc.secure_channel(
        "testnet-ika.lavenderfive.com:443/", 
        grpc.composite_channel_credentials(
            grpc.ssl_channel_credentials(),
            credentials
        )
    )
    return channel

⚠ Rate limits may apply to endpoints. Please use for testing and get a trial API-key to try out a fully unlimited api for 14 days.

Chain ID:

The unique identifier for the blockchain network.

Latest Version:

The latest version of the chain software.

Public endpoints

Public endpoints are rate limited but can be used for basic CLI usage, node syncing or testing environments. Request an API key for enhanced access limits, we offer free trial periods of 14 days and cheap shared access plans from $50 a month.

REST/LCD

REST endpoint for querying blockchain data through the REST framework. Often available for Cosmos chains but also the main framework for Aleo as an example.

testnet-rest.lavenderfive.com:443/ika

RPC

Remote Procedure Call endpoint for the consensus client of a blockchain. This is not an EVM endpoint (we call this json RPC) but the main framework for blockchain frameworks like Cosmos, Aptos, Sui and Near.

testnet-rpc.lavenderfive.com:443/ika

gRPC

High-performance RPC endpoint for blockchain communication using the Google gRPC framework. This is often standard gRPC and not the "WEB" framework which is sometimes also accesible.
