Read Base state, submit signed transactions and subscribe to node events through GraphOps RPC over HTTPS and WebSocket. Query indexed Base data through GraphQL Subgraphs, including your own Managed Subgraphs. Backfill and stream Base blocks into your own storage with Substreams.
One API key from your organization can include every service you use, and all of them draw from the organization's credit balance.
Send JSON-RPC requests over HTTPS, or open a WebSocket for subscriptions. Archive data is available: historical state, such as eth_call at a past block, and historical event logs. Execution traces are available, such as the internal calls of a transaction or a block.

Query any Subgraph that The Graph Network serves on Base by Deployment CID or Graph Network Subgraph ID. Managed indexing runs on Base: publish a Managed Subgraph and GraphOps indexes it. Managed Subgraphs need a monthly plan.

Backfill Base history and continue with a live gRPC stream of package output. Your
consumer commits the data and saves its cursor. Packages for Base declare
base or base-mainnet as their network.

Create an API key that includes RPC in your organization and export it as GRAPHOPS_API_KEY.
The example sends it in the Authorization header.
