Public API Docs - A Comprehensive Guide

As a developer, you may be looking for a platform that allows you to develop decentralized blockchain applications with ease. Pocket Network is one such platform that provides an API infrastructure for building and scaling decentralized blockchain applications. In this blog post, we will be looking at the Pocket Network public API documentation and providing you with examples in JavaScript.

What is the Pocket Network?

Pocket Network is an open, decentralized infrastructure for any blockchain. It provides decentralized API services for any blockchain network. This means that developers can build and scale decentralized applications without worrying about the underlying infrastructure.

The Pocket Network API documentation provides developers with the necessary information to interact with the Pocket Nodes API. The documentation includes information such as the API endpoints, supported blockchain networks, usage limits, and more.

Example Code in JavaScript

Here are some examples of how to use the Pocket Network public API in JavaScript:

const axios = require('axios');

const API_KEY = 'YOUR_API_KEY';

// Getting supported networks
const URL_NETWORKS = 'https://ethereum.pokt.network/networks';
 
axios.get(URL_NETWORKS, { headers: { "X-API-Key": API_KEY } })
  .then(res => {
    console.log(res.data);
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.log(err);
  });


// Getting blockchain data
const URL_BLOCKCHAIN = 'https://ethereum.pokt.network/blockchain?network=ETH&blockchain=ETH';
 
axios.get(URL_BLOCKCHAIN, { headers: { "X-API-Key": API_KEY } })
  .then(res => {
    console.log(res.data);
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.log(err);
  });

The first example shows how to get a list of the supported networks. The second example shows how to get blockchain data for a specific network and blockchain.

Conclusion

The Pocket Network public API documentation provides developers with a comprehensive guide to building decentralized blockchain applications. With the examples provided in this post, you should be able to start using the Pocket Network API in your JavaScript projects.
