Connecting with an SDK

CSPR.cloud offers Mainnet and Testnet access to Casper nodes. This guide demonstrates how to authenticate using an access token across various programming languages.

Endpoints

Connect to CSPR.cloud nodes using the following endpoints:

Mainnet

Service Type	URL
Casper Node RPC API	https://node.cspr.cloud
Casper Node SSE API	https://node-sse.cspr.cloud

Testnet

Service Type	URL
Casper Node RPC API	https://node.testnet.cspr.cloud
Casper Node SSE API	https://node-sse.testnet.cspr.cloud

Remember, all endpoints require authorization. Learn how to obtain an access token here.

SDK examples

Replace "Your-Access-Token" with your actual access token in each example.

Javascript

import { HTTPTransport } from '@open-rpc/client-js';
import casperSDK from 'casper-js-sdk';
const { CasperServiceByJsonRPC } = casperSDK;
const { CasperClient } = casperSDK;

    constructor(url, options) {
        super(url);
        const transport = new HTTPTransport(url, options);
        this.client.requestManager.transports = [transport];
    }
}
