Getting Started
Initial Setup
Creating an Account
To create an account on FluxRPC, simply sign in for the first time at dashboard using the "Get Started" button in the top right on the FluxRPC website.
We support four ways of signing in — with your Solana Wallet (e.g. Solflare), via your Google account, via your Github account, or with an email/password. This will not change the features available to you.
When signing in with a Solana wallet, it should pop up once to connect to the website, and again to sign a message to prove you are the owner of the wallet. This is normal and does not incur any transaction fees.
Creating an API Key and Selecting a Region
If the API key interface does not load immediately, select it from the menu to the left. Or navigate directly to the API keys page.
To begin creating a new API key, select the green "Create API Key" button in the top right. It is required that you give the API key a name. After you have done that, select "Create". You should see your new API key displayed on the page now. It is immediately available for use.
Note
To begin using your API key, first select a region using the region selector in the top left of the page. Selecting the region closest to you will offer the best performance. The regions are:
https://eu.fluxrpc.comhttps://us.fluxrpc.comhttps://tok.fluxrpc.comhttps://eu.fogo.fluxrpc.comNow, click on the "Details" button corresponding to your API key. You will see a dialogue containing all information about this API key, including the value of the API key itself. It will look something like "8a5ab0f4-f188-3a3e-a10e-a77a1b68651e". This is what you need to begin using the API key.
Note
Buying Bandwidth
We charge by bandwidth. One gigabyte of bandwidth costs USD 0.06. This is true for all RPC calls. New accounts are granted a little bandwidth to get started, but to continue using our service, you will need to purchase more bandwidth.
There are two ways to pay for bandwidth: With Stripe, or with USDC. You can pay as you go, or for best performance, purchase a plan.
Download and Install Lantern
Configure Lantern
Configure Lantern to store and update only the data you want. The Configurator builds your config file for you — pick a pre-set, choose your RPC endpoint, add your API key.
