Advanced API tools

Advanced APIs for NEAR Protocol and all supported networks — from real-time WebSocket streams to deep historical and indexed data.

Real-time WebSocket access on supported networks.
Subscribe to new blocks, transactions, and events without polling.

Access full blockchain history on supported networks.
Query historical states and logs beyond pruned node limits.

Advanced tracing and debugging methods on supported networks.
Inspect transactions, internal calls, and execution paths.

High-level indexed blockchain data via a unified API. Access addresses, transactions, balances, and blocks without raw RPC calls.

Flexible NEAR Protocol API infrastructure

Clear pricing and shared infrastructure with no hidden limits or unexpected restrictions for NEAR Protocol.

No RPS limits

There are no predefined RPS limits on paid plans. Throughput scales dynamically based on cluster capacity, without artificial throttling.

Flexible pricing

Plans for different budgets — from shared access to dedicated nodes. Combine tariffs to optimize costs without sacrificing performance.

Geo-balanced infrastructure

Requests are served through geo-distributed, load-balanced node clusters. Automatic failover maintains availability if nodes go offline.

120+ Blockchains

One RPC provider — 120+ blockchains. We regularly add new chains, including by request from our users. Check out our crypto node list.

99,95% Uptime

Reliable performance under any load — with smart load balancing. We ensure stable performance and deliver on our SLA.

24/7 Suport

Our support team consists of experienced technical experts. With a clear SLA, we guarantee help, with first responses in under 3 minutes.

FAQ

What is a NEAR Protocol node provider?

NEAR Protocol Node providers deliver managed crypto nodes and reliable infrastructure — giving developers instant access to the blockchain without the burden of running and maintaining their own servers. Instead of dealing with complex synchronization, heavy storage requirements, and ongoing maintenance, teams can get started immediately using high-performance hosted endpoints.

What is a NEAR Protocol RPC node?

A NEAR Protocol Node provides full blockchain access through Remote Procedure Call (RPC) endpoints. These RPC endpoints allow developers to interact with the network programmatically — sending transactions, fetching block and transaction data, querying addresses, and monitoring real-time network activity. In production environments, RPC access is the standard way most applications connect to blockchain nodes.

Do I need to run my own NEAR Protocol node?

Running your own NEAR Protocol node is not necessary for most projects. Operating a node requires storage capacity, constant synchronization, security monitoring, and dedicated DevOps resources. These requirements often make self-hosted nodes costly and time consuming, particularly as your project grows.

What NEAR Protocol APIs does NOWNodes support?

NOWNodes supports NEAR Protocol RPC APIs on Mainnet, providing developers with access to blockchain data, account and wallet information, transaction broadcasting, balance checks, and smart contract interactions. These APIs can be used to build wallets, DeFi applications, payment solutions, blockchain explorers, and other Web3 services running on NEAR infrastructure.

You can try the interfaces even before purchasing our API through Testnet. There is a whole node list of our service https://nownodes.io/nodes.

How do I start using a NEAR Protocol node?

After logging into NOWNodes and selecting a plan, navigate to the Dashboard in your account and choose the NEAR Protocol network. Then scroll down the page and click the Add a New Key button. Once your API key is generated, you can immediately start using the NEAR Protocol node through RPC endpoints.

Can I get a free NEAR Protocol node?

Yes, you can start with our START plan that gives access to shared crypto nodes with 100,000 requests for one month.
