Installation

uv add quicknode-sdk

Quick Start

Construct the SDK once, then reach into the five sub-clients (admin, streams, webhooks, kvstore, sql). Subsequent API Reference snippets assume you have a qn handle from one of these blocks.

# Python
import asyncio
from quicknode_sdk import QuicknodeSdk

async def main():
    qn = QuicknodeSdk.from_env()
    resp = await qn.admin.get_endpoints()
    print(f"{len(resp.data)} endpoints")

asyncio.run(main())

Configuration

There are two ways to configure the SDK.

Option A — Pass config directly

# Python
from quicknode_sdk import QuicknodeSdk, SdkFullConfig, HttpConfig
qn = QuicknodeSdk(SdkFullConfig(api_key="your-key", http=HttpConfig(timeout_secs=30)))

# api_key is optional: the crypto-micropayment lane pays per request instead, so
# api_key=None builds a usable SDK. Every other client still needs one, and
# from_env() always requires QN_SDK__API_KEY.

Option B — Load from environment (from_env())

# Python
qn = QuicknodeSdk.from_env()

Environment variables (prefix QN_SDK__, separator __):

Variable	Required	Default	Description
QN_SDK__API_KEY	yes	—	Your Quicknode API key
QN_SDK__HTTP__TIMEOUT_SECS	no	30	HTTP request timeout in seconds
QN_SDK__HTTP__POOL_MAX_IDLE_PER_HOST	no	—	Max idle HTTP connections per host
QN_SDK__ADMIN__BASE_URL	no	https://api.quicknode.com/v0/	Override admin API base URL (HTTPS, must end with /)
QN_SDK__STREAMS__BASE_URL	no	https://api.quicknode.com/streams/rest/v1/	Override streams base URL
QN_SDK__WEBHOOKS__BASE_URL	no	https://api.quicknode.com/webhooks/rest/v1/	Override webhooks base URL
QN_SDK__KVSTORE__BASE_URL	no	https://api.quicknode.com/kv/rest/v1/	Override KV store base URL
QN_SDK__SQL__BASE_URL	no	https://api.quicknode.com/sql/rest/v1/	Override SQL Explorer base URL
QN_SDK__HTTP__HEADERS__<NAME>	no	—	Custom HTTP header sent on every request. Overrides SDK-managed headers (see below).

Custom headers and User-Agent

Every outbound HTTP request includes an auto-generated User-Agent of the form:

quicknode-sdk-<language>/<sdk-version> (<os>-<arch>; <language>-<runtime-version>)

You can attach arbitrary headers via HttpConfig.headers. These headers OVERRIDE any SDK-managed header with the same name, including User-Agent, x-api-key, Accept, and Content-Type. Use this to inject correlation IDs, proxy auth, or to replace the default User-Agent. Header names are matched case-insensitively.

from quicknode_sdk import QuicknodeSdk, SdkFullConfig, HttpConfig

qn = QuicknodeSdk(
    SdkFullConfig(
        api_key="your-key",
        http=HttpConfig(headers={
            "X-Correlation-Id": "abc-123",
            "User-Agent": "my-app/1.0",  # overrides SDK default
        }),
    )
)

Platform Support

Precompiled wheels are published for:

Platform	Targets
Linux (glibc)	x86_64, aarch64 — glibc 2.17+ (manylinux2014)
Linux (musl)	x86_64, aarch64 — Alpine and other musl distros
macOS	Apple Silicon (arm64)

Linux glibc wheels are built against glibc 2.17 so they load on any distro from 2014 onward — RHEL 7+, Ubuntu 14.04+, Debian 8+, Amazon Linux 2+, SLES 12+, Fedora 19+. If pip install quicknode-sdk resolves to a source distribution on your platform, you're on something we don't have a prebuilt wheel for — see the matrix above.

Not supported: RHEL/CentOS 6 (glibc 2.12), Debian 7 (glibc 2.13), Ubuntu 12.04 (glibc 2.15), SLES 11 (glibc 2.11), Intel macOS, Windows.

API Reference

Snippets assume qn was already constructed via the Quick Start. Optional parameters are skipped unless showing one is needed to illustrate usage.

Language conventions

• Methods are async — call with await. Parameters are kwargs; responses are native pyclass objects with attribute access.

RPC & Tooling Access

Tooling Access provisions a single multichain, read-only endpoint per account and mints short-lived session JWTs. qn.rpc makes JSON-RPC calls directly against that endpoint, minting and refreshing the JWT automatically — no endpoint URL or token to manage.

Tooling Access must be enabled once (admin role + eligible plan). The control-plane methods live on qn.admin:

# Python
status = await qn.admin.tooling_access_status()
if not status.enabled:
    await qn.admin.enable_tooling_access()  # idempotent; admin role required

# Make on-chain calls. params defaults to []; pass a list (positional) or dict.
block_number = await qn.rpc.call("eth_blockNumber")
balance = await qn.rpc.call("eth_getBalance", ["0xabc...", "latest"])

# Multichain: select a network by its multichain_urls key. Seed the map first
# (from admin.get_endpoint_urls), then pass network=.
urls = await qn.admin.get_endpoint_urls(endpoint_id)
mc = urls.data.multichain_urls if urls.data else {}
qn.rpc.set_networks({k: v.http_url for k, v in (mc or {}).items()})
slot = await qn.rpc.call("getSlot", network="solana-mainnet")

# Custom endpoint URL: send to a fully-formed HTTP URL, bypassing Tooling Access
# and the JWT (no Authorization header). Per-call via endpoint_url=, or
# client-wide via RpcConfig(endpoint_url=...). endpoint_url and network are
# mutually exclusive (a custom URL is not multichain-routed).
block = await qn.rpc.call("eth_blockNumber", endpoint_url="https://my-endpoint.example/rpc")

# A JSON-RPC error member is raised as RpcError (with .code and .message).
from quicknode_sdk import RpcError
try:
    await qn.rpc.call("eth_getBalance", ["bad"])
except RpcError as e:
    print(e.code, e.message)

A host that persists across processes can snapshot the cached token with qn.rpc.current_token() and re-seed it via RpcConfig(seed=...) on the next construction; refresh_margin_secs (default 60) tunes how early the token is refreshed. Set RpcConfig(endpoint_url=...) to route every call to a custom HTTP URL by default (no JWT minted); a per-call endpoint_url overrides it.

Crypto-micropayment lane (rpc.call)

Pay per RPC request with a stablecoin instead of a provisioned account + API key, against Quicknode's x402.quicknode.com and mpp.quicknode.com gateways. Configure it by setting payment on the RPC config; the SDK runs the 402 → sign → resend handshake for you. An API key is not required for this lane — build a keyless SDK.

There are four payment paths. Two pay per request; two amortize one signature over many calls.

Path	Entry point	Gateway	Signs
Per-request x402	call / call_with_receipt with scheme="x402"	x402	once per call
Per-request MPP charge	call / call_with_receipt with scheme="mpp"	mpp	once per call
x402 credit drawdown	gateway_authenticate → gateway_drawdown_call	x402	once per session
MPP payment channel	mpp_open → mpp_session_call	mpp	once per channel

The signer construction is derived from the scheme and pay network, never stated directly: x402/EVM signs an EIP-712 TransferWithAuthorization, x402/Solana an SPL TransferChecked in a v0 tx (the gateway sponsors gas), and MPP/Tempo a native Tempo transaction.

scheme selects the gateway for call only. The gateway_* drawdown methods always use the x402 gateway and the mpp_* channel methods always use the MPP gateway, whatever scheme is set to.

PaymentConfig fields:

Field	Meaning
scheme	"x402" (pay-per-request) or "mpp" (MPP charge; "mpp-charge" is accepted too)
key	raw private key — EVM/Tempo: hex; Solana: base58 64-byte secret
pay_network	CAIP-2 pay network, e.g. eip155:84532, solana:5eykt4…
asset	token address/mint to pay in (matches the offered menu entry)
max_amount	required spend ceiling in integer base units of asset
svm_rpc_url	optional Solana RPC for x402/Solana payment-build reads (mint + blockhash)
base_url_override	optional gateway base (testing)

network on the call is the query chain (gateway path slug), independent of the pay network. Use call_with_receipt to also get the settlement receipt (reference = settlement tx hash) — populated on the MPP lane, null/None/nil for x402.

Things to know:

• Do not log your own PaymentConfig — the key field is readable. The SDK never prints it in its own errors/Debug, but a plain print(config) will show it.
• max_amount is integer base units of the selected asset. The SDK skips any offered entry above it and refuses to sign one — a guard against an overcharging gateway.
• PaymentIndeterminateError means the paid request was sent but the response was lost. You MAY have been charged — do not blindly retry.
• x402/Solana: one payment per call. Building a payment reads the mint and a recent blockhash from a Solana RPC. The default is a public RPC that rate-limits aggressively — set svm_rpc_url to your own endpoint at any volume.

import os
from quicknode_sdk import QuicknodeSdk, SdkFullConfig, RpcConfig, PaymentConfig

qn = QuicknodeSdk(SdkFullConfig(api_key=None, rpc=RpcConfig(payment=PaymentConfig(
    scheme="x402",
    key=os.environ["QN_PAYMENT_KEY"],
    pay_network="eip155:84532",
    asset="0x036CbD53842c5426634e7929541eC2318f3dCF7e",
    max_amount="10000",
))))
resp = await qn.rpc.call_with_receipt("eth_blockNumber", [], "base-sepolia")
print(resp["result"], resp["payment_receipt"])

Wallet generation

generate_payment_wallet("evm") creates a fresh keypair offline — no network call, no funds — for "evm", "svm", or "tempo". The private key is returned exactly once, at generation; nothing in the SDK stores or re-derives it, so persist it immediately.

from quicknode_sdk import generate_payment_wallet

wallet = generate_payment_wallet("evm")
print("fund this address:", wallet["address"])
open("payment.key", "w").write(wallet["key"])  # returned exactly once

x402 credit drawdown (authenticate once, then draw one credit per call)

Cheaper per call than paying per request: one SIWE or SIWS signature mints a session JWT, then each call draws a single credit from the account balance instead of signing a fresh settlement. Minting the session is free and moves no funds, so a host can re-authenticate transparently. Persist it between processes.

Fund the payment wallet out of band — the testnet faucet below, or by sending funds to payment_address() directly. Credits are provisioned against the account gateway-side.

EVM payment networks use SIWE. Solana payment networks use SIWS with an Ed25519 signature encoded as Base58.

Method	Cost	Returns
payment_address()	free, offline	the wallet address derived from the key
gateway_authenticate()	free	a dict {token, exp_unix, account_id}
gateway_credits(session)	free	a dict {account_id, credits}
gateway_drip(session)	free (testnet)	a dict with transfer_id or transaction_hash
gateway_drawdown_call(method, session, network, params=None)	1 credit	the JSON-RPC result

session = await qn.rpc.gateway_authenticate()
balance = await qn.rpc.gateway_credits(session)
print("credits:", balance["credits"])
result = await qn.rpc.gateway_drawdown_call("eth_blockNumber", session, "base-sepolia")

A token_expired surfaces as an ApiError with status 401/403; re-authenticate and retry that call.

Testnet faucet

gateway_drip requests testnet tokens for the payment wallet. Circle Gateway-backed networks return transfer_id because settlement is asynchronous. Direct-transfer networks such as Arc Testnet return transaction_hash. The response is not a credit balance; call gateway_credits separately.

MPP payment channel (deposit once, then vouchers)

Open a payment channel by depositing into the escrow, then authorize each call with a cumulative voucher — one ecrecover server-side, no on-chain transaction per call.

Method	Cost	Returns
mpp_open(deposit)	moves funds	the channel state dict
mpp_top_up(channel, additional_deposit)	moves funds	the updated channel state
mpp_status(channel)	1 request unit	a dict {channel_id, accepted_cumulative, spent}
mpp_session_call(method, network, channel, new_cumulative, params=None)	1 request unit	the JSON-RPC result
mpp_close(channel)	settles on-chain	nothing — refunds the unused deposit

channel = await qn.rpc.mpp_open("1000000")        # persist this dict
new_total = str(int(channel["cumulative_spent"]) + int(channel["per_call"]))
result = await qn.rpc.mpp_session_call(
    "eth_blockNumber", "base-sepolia", channel, new_total
)
# On success, store new_total as the channel's cumulative_spent.

Things to know:

• Persist the channel state. The gateway exposes no read-only channel endpoint, so a lost local record means opening (and funding) a new channel.
• mpp_status is not free. The gateway prices every session POST as a chargeable request and computes the balance from the new spend a voucher authorizes, so the probe advances cumulative_spent by per_call exactly like a call. Re-persist the advanced total. It raises PaymentUnsupportedError before any network I/O when the channel has no room left for the probe.
• The lifecycle takes no query network. A channel is scoped by the configured pay network and asset, so one channel funds calls to every supported network. Only mpp_session_call takes a network, because it routes an RPC method.
• Amounts are decimal strings, not numbers. They are u128 in the core; a Python int has no lossless u128 conversion, so pass and store them as strings.
• Advance cumulative_spent only after a success. A voucher authorizes the running total after the call; re-presenting the current high-water mark authorizes zero and is always refused with insufficient-balance.

Error Handling

Every binding exposes a typed exception hierarchy derived from the core SdkError enum (crates/core/src/errors.rs). Catch the base class (QuicknodeError) for any SDK-originated failure, or a specific subclass to branch on transport vs. API semantics.

Logical class	When it fires	Extra fields
QuicknodeError	base class; catches everything below	—
ConfigError	invalid config or URL surfaced at construction time	—
HttpError	transport failure that isn't a timeout/connect	—
TimeoutError	request timed out (subclass of HttpError)	—
ConnectionError	connection refused / DNS / TLS (subclass of HttpError)	—
ApiError	non-2xx HTTP response	status, body
DecodeError	2xx response but JSON parse failed	body
RpcError	JSON-RPC call returned an error member	code, message
PaymentError	base class for the crypto-micropayment lane	—
PaymentUnsupportedError	no offered payment option matched your selector (or all were over max_amount/unsupported)	—
PaymentRejectedError	the gateway rejected a signed payment (terminal, one resend only)	status, body
PaymentIndeterminateError	paid request sent but response lost — MAY have been charged; do NOT blindly retry	—

Class names: Importable from quicknode_sdk: QuicknodeError, ConfigError, HttpError, TimeoutError, ConnectionError, ApiError, DecodeError, RpcError, PaymentError, PaymentUnsupportedError, PaymentRejectedError, PaymentIndeterminateError.

# Python
