Call it
POST JSON-RPC to https://flexyield.io/rpc/base_mainnet with your API key (free tier at registration). Dialect: Ethereum JSON-RPC (EVM), native asset ETH.
curl -s https://flexyield.io/rpc/base_mainnet \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $FLEXYIELD_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[]}'AI agents: the same call is the rpc_call MCP tool at https://flexyield.io/mcp; the discovery files are linked from the docs.
Methods and limits
Weighted metering: standard methods count 1 unit, heavy ones 2, a cache hit 0. The limits below are the ones the gateway enforces — measured against every supplier we route to, not promised.
| Method | Rule |
|---|---|
eth_getLogs | block range up to 1000 blocks per call (weight 2 above 100 blocks); wider ranges are refused with -32602 and a hint |
eth_feeHistory | up to 1024 blocks (the protocol maximum) |
state reads at an old block | eth_getBalance, eth_call, eth_getCode, eth_getStorageAt and friends more than 128 blocks behind the head count as heavy (weight 2, archive supply) |
debug_* / trace_* | heavy (weight 2), served from supply with the debug API — availability differs per chain and is measured, not promised |
