Quickstart

Create an Account

Sign up at orbitflare.com and choose a plan that fits your needs. A free tier is available so you can start building immediately with no credit card required.

The free plan includes 10 requests per second — enough to prototype and test your integration before upgrading.

Get Your License Key

Once you have signed in, navigate to the Dashboard and locate the Licenses section. Your license key is provided with your service subscription — copy it from there.You will authenticate RPC requests by appending the license key as the api_key query parameter to the endpoint URL.

Keep your license key secret. Do not commit it to version control or expose it in client-side code.

Make Your First RPC Call

Use the mainnet endpoint to call getBlockHeight and confirm everything is working.

curl -X POST "https://mainnet.rpc.orbitflare.com?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "getBlockHeight"
  }'

const response = await fetch(
  "https://mainnet.rpc.orbitflare.com?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY",
  {
    method: "POST",
    headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      jsonrpc: "2.0",
      id: 1,
      method: "getBlockHeight",
    }),
  }
);

const data = await response.json();
console.log("Block height:", data.result);

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://mainnet.rpc.orbitflare.com?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY",
    headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"},
    json={
        "jsonrpc": "2.0",
        "id": 1,
        "method": "getBlockHeight",
    },
)

data = response.json()
print("Block height:", data["result"])

A successful response looks like this:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "result": 283458923,
  "id": 1
}

Try WebSockets

OrbitFlare supports persistent WebSocket connections for real-time data. Connect to wss://mainnet.rpc.orbitflare.com and subscribe to updates.

JavaScript

const WebSocket = require("ws");

const ws = new WebSocket(
  "wss://mainnet.rpc.orbitflare.com?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY"
);

ws.on("open", () => {
  ws.send(
    JSON.stringify({
      jsonrpc: "2.0",
      id: 1,
      method: "slotSubscribe",
    })
  );
  console.log("Subscribed to slot updates");
});

ws.on("message", (data) => {
  const message = JSON.parse(data);
  console.log("Received:", message);
});

ws.on("error", (err) => {
  console.error("WebSocket error:", err);
});

WebSocket connections use the same api_key query parameter for authentication.
