RPC Edge provides authentication and rate limiting controls to secure your endpoints.

​
Authentication

Each RPC Edge endpoint requires a secret token for authentication. The secret is included in the URL: 
https://edge.goldsky.com/standard/evm/{chainId}?secret=YOUR_SECRET

​
Query Parameter

Pass the secret as a URL query parameter: 
curl "https://edge.goldsky.com/standard/evm/1?secret=YOUR_SECRET" \
  -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":1}'

​
Header-Based Authentication

Alternatively, pass the secret via the X-ERPC-Secret-Token header: 
curl "https://edge.goldsky.com/standard/evm/1" \
  -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-ERPC-Secret-Token: YOUR_SECRET" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":1}'

​
Rate Limiting

Rate limits can be configured per secret in the Goldsky Dashboard. The following options are available:
