RouteMesh RPC (JSON-RPC)

This skill standardizes how to call RouteMesh’s unified RPC endpoint:

• Endpoint: POST https://lb.routeme.sh/rpc/{chainId}/{apiKey}
• Body: JSON-RPC 2.0 (jsonrpc, id, method, optional params)

Quick start

Set your API key (recommended):

export ROUTEMESH_API_KEY="rm_...your_key..."

Make a request (example: Ethereum mainnet, eth_blockNumber):

python3 "{baseDir}/scripts/routemesh_rpc.py" \
  --chain-id 1 \
  --method eth_blockNumber \
  --params '[]'

Usage pattern

Prefer calling via the helper script so output stays consistent and you don’t accidentally break JSON encoding.

Script arguments

• --chain-id: EVM chain id (string or int, e.g. 1, 137, 42161)
• --api-key: optional; falls back to ROUTEMESH_API_KEY
• --method: JSON-RPC method (e.g. eth_getBlockByNumber, eth_call)
• --params: JSON string for params (default [])
• --url: optional base URL (default https://lb.routeme.sh)

Common examples

Get the latest block (Polygon):

python3 "{baseDir}/scripts/routemesh_rpc.py" \
  --chain-id 137 \
  --method eth_getBlockByNumber \
  --params '["latest", false]'

Get chain id (any EVM chain):

python3 "{baseDir}/scripts/routemesh_rpc.py" \
  --chain-id 8453 \
  --method eth_chainId \
  --params '[]'

eth_call (Base). data must be hex-encoded calldata:

python3 "{baseDir}/scripts/routemesh_rpc.py" \
  --chain-id 8453 \
  --method eth_call \
  --params '[{"to":"0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000","data":"0x"}, "latest"]'

Notes / error handling

• RouteMesh returns standard JSON-RPC responses (result or error) and may also use HTTP error codes.
• If you get a JSON-RPC error.code, refer to RouteMesh RPC error code docs in this repo: docs/reference/Reference/get_new-endpoint.md.
• Keep ROUTEMESH_API_KEY out of logs, issues, and commits.
