## Internal Transactions (`with-internal`)

Ethereum supports **internal transactions** (traces). The Transactions API endpoints marked `with-traces` above accept the `with-internal=true` query parameter, which includes internal transactions (the value transfers triggered by contract execution that are not recorded as standalone onchain transactions) in the response.

<Info>
  Internal transactions are included in the response by passing `with-internal` and cost `0.05` credits/item.
</Info>

#### Example API Call

```bash Recent transactions with internal transactions theme={null}
curl -X GET "https://api.covalenthq.com/v1/eth-mainnet/address/0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045/transactions_v3/?with-internal=true&key=<GOLDRUSH_API_KEY>"
```

## JSON-RPC

Ethereum is available on the GoldRush JSON-RPC service. Point your existing EVM tooling (ethers.js, viem, web3.js, or raw HTTP) at the GoldRush endpoint — the standard `eth_*`, `net_*`, `web3_*`, `debug_*`, and `trace_*` methods are supported.

#### Endpoint

```
https://rpc.goldrushdata.com/v1/eth-mainnet
```

#### Example JSON-RPC Calls

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash eth_blockNumber theme={null}
  curl https://rpc.goldrushdata.com/v1/eth-mainnet \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer <GOLDRUSH_API_KEY>" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[]}'
  ```

  ```bash eth_getBalance theme={null}
  curl https://rpc.goldrushdata.com/v1/eth-mainnet \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer <GOLDRUSH_API_KEY>" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"eth_getBalance","params":["0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045","latest"]}'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

#### Sample Methods

* **[eth\_blockNumber on Ethereum](/docs/api-reference/json-rpc/ethereum/eth-blocknumber)**
