FAQ

What is a Hedera node provider?

A Hedera node provider delivers managed blockchain infrastructure, giving developers instant access to the Hedera network without the burden of deploying and maintaining their own nodes. Instead of managing synchronization, infrastructure, software updates, and ongoing maintenance, teams can connect to reliable hosted endpoints and begin building immediately.

What is a Hedera API?

A Hedera API enables applications to communicate with the Hedera network through managed endpoints without operating their own infrastructure. Developers can use the API to submit transactions, retrieve block and transaction data, query account information, monitor network activity, and integrate Hedera services into wallets, payment solutions, analytics platforms, and other blockchain applications.

Should I run a Hedera node myself?

Running your own Hedera node is not necessary for most projects. Operating infrastructure requires continuous maintenance, software updates, security monitoring, and dedicated DevOps resources. These requirements often make self-managed infrastructure costly and time-consuming, particularly as your application scales.

What Hedera APIs does NOWNodes support?

NOWNodes provides Hedera RPC API through reliable, enterprise-grade infrastructure. Depending on your requirements, developers can also access services such as WebSocket (WSS), Explorer API, Archive mode, BlockBook API, and Debug API where supported.

How do I start using a Hedera node?

After logging in to NOWNodes and selecting a plan, navigate to the Dashboard in your account and scroll down the page. There you will find the Add a New Key button. Click it to generate your API key, then use it to connect to the Hedera API.

Can I access Hedera infrastructure for free?

Yes. You can start with our START plan, which provides access to shared Hedera infrastructure with up to 100,000 API requests per month.
