Network Endpoints
This index guide contains network details for the Polygon Mumbai testnet and Polygon PoS Mainnet and lists their associated RPC and node endpoints.
- PoS Mainnet
- PoS Testnet
Mumbai PoS testnet
Mumbai Testnet replicates the Polygon Mainnet and is used for testing. Users can obtain testnet tokens from the faucet. Testnet tokens are valueless and are different from value-bearing assets like MATIC. This allows developers or network maintainers to test configurations and experiment implementations.

RPC API Methods
Developers can interact with on-chain data and send different types of transactions to the network by utilizing network endpoints. The APIs follow a JSON-RPC standard; JSON-RPC is a stateless, lightweight, remote procedure call (RPC) protocol that is commonly used when interacting with a blockchain network.
Start by visiting the complete set of API documentation for standard Polygon JSON-RPC calls.
If you want to get started with API requests that require no setup, fix failing requests, or, explore new methods on the Polygon network, try out the Composer App.
A user can also run their own node when interacting with the Polygon PoS chain or utilize one of the public endpoints provided by infrastructure and API service providers to connect to the network. Dagger is the best way to get realtime updates from the chain as it provides a way for your dApps and backend system to get blockchain events in realtime over a socket or websocket.
