Getting Started
Getting Started¶
Getting started with Backbone takes just a few minutes once you’ve signed up.
When you sign up you'll receive your Backbone v3 key to use within your app. With it we can provide you with customized insights and analytics, route your data where it needs to go, and give you access to the most powerful infrastructure for Ethereum. Learn more about getting started, and if you have any issues check our other resources below for help.
Ethereum API¶
Seamlessly access Ethereum via the Backbone load-balanced nodes and smart architecture the same way you would via your own nodes. We have built services and APIs around JSON RPC, REST and WebSockets that you can use with your favorite libraries and frameworks, on four Ethereum networks. Read more about our Ethereum API.
WebSockets API¶
Use our WebSockets API to poll on filters, subscriptions, events, etc. Access the Ethereum Pub/Sub API documentation and Parity Ethereum Pub/Sub API documentation. Read more about our WebSockets API.
