Make requests
The URLs above are a drop-in replacement for Infura's URLs and can be used exactly like Infura endpoints in the tool of your choice (web3.js, curl, etc). The cache automatically takes care of proxying requests to Infura in case of a cache miss.
Here's an example using curl:
# Replace NETWORK_URL with url of the chosen network
curl -X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 0, "method": "eth_blockNumber", "params": []}' \
"<NETWORK_URL>"
The response would look something like:
# Block_number will be current block number in hex
{"jsonrpc": "2.0","result": "0x<Block_number>", "id":0}
