NEAR RPC API
The RPC API allows you to communicate directly with the NEAR network. For example, tools such as near-api-js are just abstractions making RPC calls.
RPC Providers​
There are multiple RPC providers which you can choose from. These providers will work as intermediaries to help you interact with the NEAR network.
