JSON-RPC is a remote procedure call protocol encoded in JSON. You can use this API to access data from the Zilliqa nodes. The JSON-RPC API server runs on:

Chain(s)	URL(s)
Zilliqa mainnet	https://api.zilliqa.com/
Developer testnet	https://dev-api.zilliqa.com/
Local testnet	http://localhost:4201/
Isolated server	https://zilliqa-isolated-server.zilliqa.com/

You can use the following block explorers for the various networks

Chain(s)	Explorer link
Zilliqa mainnet	https://viewblock.io/zilliqa https://devex.zilliqa.com/
Developer testnet	https://viewblock.io/zilliqa?network=testnet https://devex.zilliqa.com/?network=https%3A%2F%2Fdev-api.zilliqa.com
Local testnet	https://devex.zilliqa.com/?network=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A4201%2F
Isolated server	https://devex.zilliqa.com/?network=https%3A%2F%2Fzilliqa-isolated-server.zilliqa.com

All API calls are POST requests.

All requests follow the standard JSON-RPC format and include 4 variables in the data object:

Data object	Example
id	e.g. "1"
jsonrpc	e.g. "2.0"
method	e.g. "GetBalance"
params	e.g. ["1"]
