RPC API

Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is a protocol that allows a program to execute procedures (functions) on a remote server as if they were local calls. This eliminates the need for developers to handle low-level network communication.

How Rootstock RPC API Works

Rootstock RPC API uses the JSON-RPC protocol, a lightweight, text-based standard for defining procedures and their parameters. This makes it easy to communicate with the API using JSON-formatted requests and receive structured responses.

Use Cases

• Building integrations for your product or service.
• Automating workflows with server-side commands.
• Extending your application’s capabilities with remote functions.
