Create a RPC​

Click on "Create Tezos RPC" and pick a name.

Connect to your Tezos RPC​

After creating your RPC, you have access to your RPC URL from the dashboard, for both Tezos Mainnet and Tezos Ghostnet (the permanent testnet of Tezos).

The URL will look like this: https://tezosrpc.midl.dev/ak-g5yvzhd6bba7z8/

With CURL​

The following code queries the level of the most recent Tezos mainnet block:

$ curl https://tezosrpc.midl.dev/ak-g5yvzhd6bba7z8/chains/main/blocks/head/header | jq .level

To go further, refer to Tezos RPC Documentation.

With Taquito​

The following Typescript code grabs the balance of one mainnet address:

import { TezosToolkit } from '@taquito/taquito';
const Tezos = new TezosToolkit('https://tezosrpc.midl.dev/ak-g5yvzhd6bba7z8');

Tezos.tz
  .getBalance('tz1MidLyXXvKWMmbRvKKeusDtP95NDJ5gAUx')
  .then((balance) => console.log(`${balance.toNumber() / 1000000} ꜩ`))
  .catch((error) => console.log(JSON.stringify(error)));

To go further, please refer to Taquito documentation.

With pytezos​

The following Python code grabs the balance of one mainnet address:

from pytezos import pytezos

midl_rpc = "https://tezosrpc.midl.dev/ak-g5yvzhd6bba7z8"
account = pytezos.using(midl_rpc).account("tz1MidLyXXvKWMmbRvKKeusDtP95NDJ5gAUx")
print(str(int(account["balance"]) / 1000000) + " ꜩ")
