FAQ
What is a Bitcoin node provider?
A Bitcoin node provider offers infrastructure that allows developers to interact with the Bitcoin blockchain without running and maintaining their own full node. Instead of managing servers, storage, and synchronization, developers can connect to hosted Bitcoin RPC endpoints and APIs. This allows teams to build wallets, explorers, exchanges, and other blockchain applications faster while relying on managed infrastructure.
What is a Bitcoin RPC node?
A Bitcoin RPC node is a full Bitcoin node that exposes Remote Procedure Call (RPC) endpoints so developers can interact with the blockchain programmatically. Through these endpoints applications can send transactions, retrieve block and transaction data, monitor network activity, and query wallet or address information. RPC nodes are commonly used by wallets, exchanges, analytics platforms, and other blockchain services that need direct access to Bitcoin data.
Should I run an Bitcoin node myself?
Running your own Bitcoin node is not strictly required for most applications. Maintaining a node involves significant storage requirements, constant synchronization with the network, and ongoing infrastructure maintenance. Using a node provider allows developers to access the blockchain through ready-to-use endpoints without handling the operational complexity of running a full node.
What Bitcoin APIs does NOWNodes support?
NOWNodes provides several API interfaces for interacting with the Bitcoin network. Developers can use standard Bitcoin RPC endpoints for direct blockchain interaction, WebSocket connections for real-time data streaming, and indexed APIs for easier access to transaction and address data. These tools allow applications to work with both current blockchain activity and historical blockchain information.
How can I connect to Bitcoin RPC endpoints?
Getting started with a Bitcoin node through NOWNodes is straightforward. After creating an account, developers receive an API key that can be used to connect to the Bitcoin RPC endpoint. Once connected, applications can begin sending requests to the blockchain and retrieving data immediately, allowing teams to integrate Bitcoin functionality into their products without deploying their own infrastructure.
Can I access Bitcoin infrastructure for free?
Yes, you can start with our START plan that gives access to shared crypto nodes with 100,000 requests for one month.
