Quickstart Guide

This quickstart guide will help you set up and make calls on the Polygon (PoS) network using the Liquify Gateway endpoints.

Prerequisites​

Ensure you have an API key with the Polygon network enabled.

Make calls​

cURL​

Run the following command in your terminal. This command will retrieve the latest block number from the Polygon network.

Replace YOUR-API-KEY with your actual Liquify Gateway API key.

curl https://gateway.liquify.com/YOUR-API-KEY \
https://gateway.liquify.com/
    -X POST \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":1}'

Node (JavaScript)​

In these examples,you'll use npm as your package manager.

Node Fetch​

1. In your project folder, install the Node Fetch package using npm:

   npm i node-fetch

2. Create your Javascript file and copy the following code:

   Replace YOUR-API-KEY with your actual Liquify Gateway API key.

   index.js

   import fetch from 'node-fetch';
   
   fetch("https://gateway.liquify.com/YOUR-API-KEY", {
     method: "POST",
     headers: {
       "Content-Type": "application/json"
     },
     body: JSON.stringify({
       jsonrpc: "2.0",
       method: "eth_blockNumber",
       params: [],
       id: 1
     })
   })
   .then(response =>
     response.json()
   )
   .then(data => {
     console.log(data);
   })
   .catch(error => {
     console.error(error);
   });

3. Run the code using the following command:

   node index.js

Axios​

1. In your project folder, install the Axios package using npm:

   npm i axios

2. Create your Javascript file and copy the following code:

   Replace YOUR-API-KEY with your actual Liquify Gateway API key.

   index.js

   const axios = require('axios');
   
   axios.post('https://gateway.liquify.com/YOUR-API-KEY', {
     jsonrpc: '2.0',
     method: 'eth_blockNumber',
     params: [],
     id: 1
   })
   .then(response => {
     console.log(response.data);
   })
   .catch(error => {
     console.error(error);
   });

3. Run the code using the following command:

   node index.js

Ethers​

1. In your project folder, install the ethers package using npm:

   npm install ethers

2. Create your Javascript file and copy the following code:

   Replace YOUR-API-KEY with your actual Liquify Gateway API key.

   index.js

   const ethers = require('ethers');
   
   const provider = new ethers.providers.JsonRpcProvider('https://gateway.liquify.com/YOUR-API-KEY');
   
   provider.getBlockNumber()
   .then(blockNumber => {
     console.log(blockNumber);
   })
   .catch(error => {
     console.error(error);
   });

3. Run the code using the following command:

   node index.js

Python​

1. In your project folder, install the requests library:

   pip install requests

2. Create your Javascript file and copy the following code:

   Replace YOUR-API-KEY with your actual Liquify Gateway API key.

   index.py

   import requests
   import json
   
   url = 'https://gateway.liquify.com/YOUR-API-KEY'
   
   payload = {
       "jsonrpc": "2.0",
       "method": "eth_blockNumber",
       "params": [],
       "id": 1
   }
   
   headers = {'content-type': 'application/json'}
   
   response = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(payload), headers=headers).json()
   
   print(response)

3. Run the code using the following command:

   python index.py
