Flow REST API, RPC & gRPC (Access API)
Flow Overview
Flow is a Layer 1 blockchain built for consumer applications and digital assets. Flow supports two execution environments:
- Cadence: Flow's native smart contract language with resource-oriented programming for managing digital assets
- EVM (Flow EVM): Full EVM equivalence introduced with the Crescendo upgrade in September 2024, allowing Ethereum contracts to run on Flow without code changes
Flow uses FLOW as its native token for transaction fees, staking, and network governance.
Interacting with Flow APIs
Flow provides three API options for developers:
- Flow REST API: HTTP-based API for querying blockchain data and submitting transactions
- Flow gRPC (Access API): High-performance gRPC interface for accessing Flow network data
- Ethereum JSON-RPC API (Beta): EVM-compatible JSON-RPC endpoints for Ethereum tooling and smart contracts
The EVM compatibility means developers can use standard Ethereum tools like Hardhat, Foundry, Web3.js, and Ethers.js. Cadence developers can interact with EVM contracts, and EVM contracts can access Cadence functionality through the VM Bridge, enabling cross-environment composability.
The Quicknode Flow documentation is continuously evolving as the chain undergoes upgrades and changes, so we highly recommend cross-referencing with the official Flow documentation for the latest updates and features.
Make Flow API Calls
The quickest way to start building on Flow is to create a Quicknode endpoint and send your first API request.
Quicknode provides managed Flow endpoints, giving you immediate access to Flow Mainnet and Testnet without the overhead of running infrastructure. These endpoints offer:
- 높은 신뢰성 – 가동 중단 시간을 최소화하도록 설계된 전 세계에 분산된 인프라
- Enhanced performance – optimized latency and request handling for production applications
- 통합 생태계 – Quicknode 마켓플레이스의 전용 API(애드온) 및 Streams와 같은 제품을 통한 추가 기능
