How to Connect to Karura

It’s easy to connect to your Karura infrastructure via RPC or WebSocket.

If you haven’t already configured any Karura infrastructure, visit the Karura marketplace page to learn more about Blockdaemon’s Karura options.

Once you have purchased your Blockdaemon Karura infrastructure, your Blockdaemon Technical Account Manager (TAM) will send you the necessary access credentials.

Note: These are one-time view, so make sure to copy them.

In this guide, we will cover the following simple methods of connection to your infrastructure:

• Karura HTTP RPC Connection via cURL
• Karura Connection via Websocket 
• Karura Connection via Sidecar API
