NeuroWeb RPC API Documentation

Overview#

NeuroWeb is a decentralized AI blockchain and Polkadot parachain designed to incentivize knowledge creation, connectivity, and sharing through Knowledge Mining. Built on the Substrate framework and evolved from OriginTrail Parachain, NeuroWeb enables the creation and management of verifiable knowledge assets, powering the Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG) that organizes humanity's most important assets.

This documentation provides comprehensive coverage of NeuroWeb's JSON-RPC API methods, enabling developers to interact with NeuroWeb nodes for building applications, wallets, explorers, and other blockchain tools.

Network Information#

Mainnet (NeuroWeb)#

  • Parachain ID: 2043
  • Native Token: NEURO
  • Consensus: Nominated Proof-of-Stake (NPoS) via Polkadot
  • Framework: Substrate
  • Special Features: EVM-enabled, Decentralized Knowledge Graph, AI-focused

Connection Endpoints#

HTTPS Endpoint#

https://api-neuroweb.n.dwellir.com/{YOUR_API_KEY}

WebSocket Endpoint#

wss://api-neuroweb.n.dwellir.com/{YOUR_API_KEY}

Authentication#

Authentication is done via the URL path. Replace {YOUR_API_KEY} with your actual API key obtained from dwellir.com.

API Categories#

NeuroWeb's RPC API is organized into the following method categories:

Core APIs#

Author Methods#

Submit and manage extrinsics (transactions) on the network.

Chain Methods#

Query blockchain data including blocks, headers, and finalized state.

State Methods#

Access runtime storage, metadata, and proof generation.

System Methods#

Node information, health checks, and network properties.

Specialized APIs#

BEEFY Methods#

Bridge Efficiency Enabling Finality Yielder protocol operations.

Grandpa Methods#

GRANDPA finality gadget operations and proofs.

Child State Methods#

Manage child storage tries for contracts and parachains.

Sync State Methods#

Monitor and manage node synchronization state.

Quick Start Examples#

Get Latest Block#

const response = await fetch('https://api-neuroweb.n.dwellir.com/YOUR_API_KEY', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({
jsonrpc: '2.0',
method: 'chain_getBlock',
params: [],
id: 1
})
});

const data = await response.json();
console.log('Latest block:', data.result);

Submit Transaction#

import requests
import json

url = "https://api-neuroweb.n.dwellir.com/YOUR_API_KEY"
headers = {
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}

# Properly formatted and signed extrinsic
extrinsic = "0x..."

payload = {
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "author_submitExtrinsic",
"params": [extrinsic],
"id": 1
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(payload))
tx_hash = response.json()["result"]
print(f"Transaction hash: {tx_hash}")

Subscribe to New Blocks (WebSocket)#

const WebSocket = require('ws');

const ws = new WebSocket('wss://api-neuroweb.n.dwellir.com/YOUR_API_KEY');

ws.on('open', () => {
ws.send(JSON.stringify({
jsonrpc: '2.0',
method: 'chain_subscribeNewHeads',
params: [],
id: 1
}));
});

ws.on('message', (data) => {
const response = JSON.parse(data);
if (response.params?.result) {
console.log('New block:', response.params.result);
}
});

Error Handling#

NeuroWeb RPC errors follow the JSON-RPC 2.0 error format:

{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"error": {
"code": -32602,
"message": "Invalid params",
"data": "Expected hex-encoded hash"
},
"id": 1
}

Common Error Codes#

CodeMessageDescription
-32700Parse errorInvalid JSON
-32600Invalid requestMissing required fields
-32601Method not foundUnknown RPC method
-32602Invalid paramsInvalid method parameters
-32603Internal errorNode processing error
-32000Server errorCustom server errors

Best Practices#

1. Connection Management#

  • Use WebSocket connections for subscriptions and real-time updates
  • Implement reconnection logic for WebSocket disconnections
  • Use HTTPS for single queries and transactions

2. Error Handling#

  • Always check for error responses before processing results
  • Implement retry logic with exponential backoff
  • Log errors for debugging and monitoring

3. Performance Optimization#

  • Batch multiple queries when possible
  • Cache frequently accessed data like metadata
  • Use specific block hashes for deterministic queries

4. Security#

  • Never expose API keys in client-side code
  • Validate all input data before submission
  • Use secure storage for private keys

SDK Support#

Official Libraries#

  • @polkadot/api - JavaScript/TypeScript SDK (compatible with NeuroWeb)
  • py-substrate-interface - Python SDK
  • subxt - Rust SDK
  • go-substrate-rpc-client - Go SDK

Integration Example#

// Using @polkadot/api
const { ApiPromise, WsProvider } = require('@polkadot/api');

async function connect() {
const provider = new WsProvider('wss://api-neuroweb.n.dwellir.com/YOUR_API_KEY');

const api = await ApiPromise.create({ provider });

// Query chain data
const chain = await api.rpc.system.chain();
console.log(`Connected to ${chain}`);

// Get account balance
const account = 'YOUR_ADDRESS';
const { data: balance } = await api.query.system.account(account);
console.log(`Balance: ${balance.free.toString()}`);

return api;
}

NeuroWeb Features#

Decentralized Knowledge Graph#

NeuroWeb powers the Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG), enabling the creation and management of verifiable knowledge assets. The network has scaled to support billions of interconnected knowledge assets with recent V8 improvements.

AI-Focused Infrastructure#

As a decentralized AI blockchain, NeuroWeb incentivizes knowledge creation and sharing through Knowledge Mining, providing infrastructure for AI applications that require verifiable, trustworthy data.

EVM Compatibility#

NeuroWeb is EVM-enabled, allowing developers to deploy Ethereum-compatible smart contracts alongside Substrate-native pallets, providing flexibility for various application architectures.

Polkadot Integration#

As a Polkadot parachain, NeuroWeb benefits from:

  • Shared Security: Protected by Polkadot's validator network
  • Cross-Chain Interoperability: Seamless communication with other parachains
  • Scalability: Leveraging Polkadot's multi-chain architecture
