Aptos WebSocket RPC

Stream Aptos data in real time over a WebSocket connection — new blocks, pending transactions, and contract events — instead of polling. Every SwiftNodes plan includes a Aptos WebSocket endpoint alongside HTTP, with flat-rate pricing and no KYC.

Endpoint

wss://rpc.swiftnodes.io/ws/aptos?key=YOUR_API_KEY

The HTTP endpoint for Aptos is https://rpc.swiftnodes.io/rpc/aptos?key=YOUR_API_KEY. One API key works for both, and across all 75+ supported chains.

Subscribe to Aptos in real time

import { Connection } from "@solana/web3.js";

const conn = new Connection("https://rpc.swiftnodes.io/rpc/aptos?key=YOUR_API_KEY", {
  wsEndpoint: "wss://rpc.swiftnodes.io/ws/aptos?key=YOUR_API_KEY",
});

// Subscribe to new slots on Aptos
const subId = conn.onSlotChange((slot) => console.log("slot", slot.slot));

What you can subscribe to

• Slot and root updates — track chain progress in real time
• Account changes — get notified when an account's data updates
• Program and signature subscriptions for live app state

Aptos is a Layer 1 (Move, Block-STM parallel execution), with ~Sub-second block times and sub-second (aptosbft deterministic finality) finality. That cadence sets how frequently new-block subscriptions fire.
