How to connect to beacon mainnet (eth 2.0) and query blocks?

[oblak1]

Hello,

I'm trying to connect to https://secret:secret@eth2-beacon-mainnet.infura.io (eth 2.0) using ethers.js and query blocks from beacon chain.

 const provider = new ethers.providers.StaticJsonRpcProvider(url);

The provider just hangs and nothing really happens. If I call the rest endpoint (from Postman) it works.

I was thinking maybe I should provide the chain id and name of the network but I can't find it for the beacon chain. I also tried passing the infura project id and secret as basic auth but that didn't work either.

Am I doing something wrong or is querying eth 2.0 not possible this way? Any help is appreciated.
