ETH RPC API Documentation
[ Base URL: https://localhost:4000/api/eth-rpc ]
This API is provided to support some rpc methods in the exact format specified for ethereum nodes, which can be found here. This is useful to allow sending requests to blockscout without having to change anything about the request. However, in general, the custom RPC is recommended. Anything not in this list is not supported. Click on the method to be taken to the documentation for that method, and check the notes section for any potential differences.
