Connecting to the main net via the api. Need help

[Haimovich]

Hi guys. I do not understand what settings to prescribe in the request. I want to connect to the mainnet. It turns out only to the testnet!

const DAPIClient = require('@dashevo/dapi-client');
const client = new DAPIClient();

client.core.getBlockByHeight(879151)
.then((response) => console.dir(response, { length: 0 }));

Please help

Platform is not on mainnet yet

Thank you so much for the answer! I.e. access to the mainnet can only be obtained by installing dash core? And a request via dash-cli?

At the moment, yes you'll need dash core running. You can access via RPC if you want to do it in an automated way: https://docs.dash.org/projects/core/en/stable/docs/api/remote-procedure-calls.html

Hopefully platform will change this soon™

Absolutely NO!

There are a bunch of delightful tools made by @coolaj86. You should definitely check this one! Its using dash insight api to query information, and does not need hosting your own node at all!
