​

Node.js

const axios = require('axios');
const main = async () => {
  try {
    const result = await axios.post(
      'YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT',
      {
        query: `
          QUERY
        `
      }
    );
    console.log(result.data);
  } catch(error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
}
main();

• YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT — your node GraphQL endpoint
• QUERY — your GraphQL query

MetaMask

​

Hardhat

1. Install Hardhat and create a project.
2. Create a new environment in hardhat.config.js:
   Javascript

   require("@nomiclabs/hardhat-waffle");
   ...
   module.exports = {
     solidity: "0.7.3",
     networks: {
       chainstack: {
           url: "YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT",
           accounts: ["YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY"]
       },
     }
   };
   
   where
   • YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT — your node HTTPS or WSS endpoint protected either with the key or password. See node access details.
   • YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY — the private key of the account that you use to deploy the contract
3. Run npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network chainstack and Hardhat will deploy using Chainstack.

​

Remix IDE

1. Get MetaMask and set it to interact through a Chainstack node. See Interacting through MetaMask.
2. In Remix IDE, navigate to the Deploy tab. Select Injected Provider - MetaMask in Environment.

​

web3.py

1. Install web3.py.
2. Connect over HTTP or WebSocket. See also EVM node connection: HTTP vs WebSocket.

​

HTTP

from web3 import Web3

web3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider('YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT'))
print(web3.eth.block_number)

from web3 import Web3

web3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider('https://%s:%s@%s'% ("USERNAME", "PASSWORD", "HOSTNAME")))
print(web3.eth.block_number)

• YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT — your node HTTPS endpoint protected either with the key or password
• HOSTNAME — your node HTTPS endpoint hostname
• USERNAME — your node access username (for password-protected endpoints)
• PASSWORD — your node access password (for password-protected endpoints)

​

WebSocket

from web3 import Web3

web3 = Web3(Web3.WebsocketProvider('YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT'))
print(web3.eth.block_number)

from web3 import Web3

web3 = Web3(Web3.WebsocketProvider('wss://%s:%s@%s'% ("USERNAME", "PASSWORD", "HOSTNAME")))
print(web3.eth.block_number)

• YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT — your node WSS endpoint protected either with the key or password
• HOSTNAME — your node WSS endpoint hostname
• USERNAME — your node access username (for password-protected endpoints)
• PASSWORD — your node access password (for password-protected endpoints)

​

web3.php

1. Install web3.php.
2. Connect over HTTP:
   Php

   <?php
   
   require_once "vendor/autoload.php";
   
   use Web3\Web3;
   use Web3\Providers\HttpProvider;
   use Web3\RequestManagers\HttpRequestManager;
   
   $web3 = new Web3(new HttpProvider(new HttpRequestManager("YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT", 5)));
   ?>
   
   where YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT is your node HTTPS endpoint protected either with the key or password
3. Use JSON-RPC methods to interact with the node. Example to get the latest block number:
   Php

   <?php
   
   require_once "vendor/autoload.php";
   
   use Web3\Web3;
   use Web3\Providers\HttpProvider;
   use Web3\RequestManagers\HttpRequestManager;
   
   $web3 = new Web3(new HttpProvider(new HttpRequestManager("YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT", 5)));
   
   $eth = $web3->eth;
   
   $eth->blockNumber(function ($err, $data) {
        print "$data \n";
   });
   ?>
