# Backup RPCs

Data queries and transaction submissions are facilitated through an RPC (Remote Procedure Call) URL. Occasionally, the responsiveness of the RPC URL may be suboptimal, causing slow data loading or an inability to load data on your page. Additionally, exceeding the rate limit for the public RPC URL may result in 429 errors.

To maintain uninterrupted use of the exchange during such periods, you can opt for a backup URL from service providers like  [Alchemy](https://www.alchemy.com/), [Ankr](https://www.ankr.com/protocol/public/) or [QuickNode](https://www.quicknode.com/chains/arb). By changing the RPC URL in your wallet's network settings, the page should load properly. You can visit <https://chainlist.org/> to access a comprehensive list of RPC URLs and their respective statuses.

### Steps to change the RPC URL in MetaMask

* Click on the MetaMask icon
* Click on the three-dot icon and select `Expand View`
* Click on your account icon on the top right and select `Settings`
* Click on `Networks`
* Key in the New RPC URL
* Click `Save`

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.kwenta.io/overview/access-kwenta/backup-rpcs.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
