Daemon RPC

monerod Overview

Introduction

This is a list of the monerod daemon RPC calls, their inputs and outputs, and examples of each.
Many RPC calls use the daemon's JSON RPC interface while others use their own interfaces, as demonstrated below.

Note: "atomic-units" refer to the smallest fraction of 1 XMR according to the monerod implementation. 1 XMR = 1e12 atomic-units.

JSON RPC Methods:

JSON RPC Methods

The majority of monerod RPC calls use the daemon's json_rpc interface to request various bits of information. These methods all follow a similar structure, for example:

IP=127.0.0.1
PORT=18081
METHOD='get_block_header_by_height'
ALIAS='getblockheaderbyheight'
PARAMS='{"height":912345}'
curl \
    http://$IP:$PORT/json_rpc \
    -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"0","method":"'$METHOD'","params":'$PARAMS'}' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json'

Some methods include parameters, while others do not. Examples of each JSON RPC method follow.

}

flush_cache

Flush bad transactions / blocks from the cache.

Alias: None .

Inputs:

  • bad_txs - boolean; Optional (false by default).
  • bad_blocks - boolean; Optional (false by default).

Outputs:

  • status - string; General RPC error code. "OK" means everything looks good.
  • untrusted - boolean; States if the result is obtained using the bootstrap mode, and is therefore not trusted (true), or when the daemon is fully synced and thus handles the RPC locally (false)

Example:

$ curl http://127.0.0.1:18081/json_rpc -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"0","method":"flush_cache","params":{"bad_txs":true,"bad_blocks":true}}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json'

{
  "id": "0",
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "result": {
    "status": "OK",
    "untrusted": false
  }
}

flush_txpool

Flush tx ids from transaction pool

Alias: None .

Inputs:

  • txids - array of strings; Optional, list of transactions IDs to flush from pool (all tx ids flushed if empty).

Outputs:

  • status - string; General RPC error code. "OK" means everything looks good.

Example:

$ curl http://127.0.0.1:18081/json_rpc -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"0","method":"flush_txpool","params":{"txids":["dc16fa8eaffe1484ca9014ea050e13131d3acf23b419f33bb4cc0b32b6c49308",""]}}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json'

{

generateblocks

Generate a block and specify the address to receive the coinbase reward.

Inputs: - amount_of_blocks - unsigned int; number of blocks to be generated. - wallet_address - string; address to receive the coinbase reward. - prev_block - string; - starting_nonce - unsigned int; Increased by miner until it finds a matching result that solves a block.

Outputs: - blocks - list of string; - height - unsigned int; - status - string; General RPC error code. "OK" means everything looks good. - untrusted - boolean; States if the result is obtained using the bootstrap mode, and is therefore not trusted (true), or when the daemon is fully synced and thus handles the RPC locally (false)

The example below uses monerod with the start flags --regtest --offline --fixed-difficulty 1. --offline ensures that the node does not connect to the main network and learn of its latest chaintip and --fixed-difficulty keeps the difficulty constant, allowing a large number of blocks to be generated quickly.

$ curl http://127.0.0.1:18081/json_rpc -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"0","method":"generateblocks","params":{"amount_of_blocks":1,"wallet_address":"44AFFq5kSiGBoZ4NMDwYtN18obc8AemS33DBLWs3H7otXft3XjrpDtQGv7SqSsaBYBb98uNbr2VBBEt7f2wfn3RVGQBEP3A","starting_nonce": 0}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json'

    }],
    "status": "OK"
    "untrusted": false
  }
}

get_block

Full block information can be retrieved by either block height or hash, like with the above block header calls. For full block information, both lookups use the same method, but with different input parameters.

Alias: getblock .

Inputs (pick height or hash):

  • height - unsigned int; The block's height.
  • hash - string; The block's hash.
  • fill_pow_hash - bool; (Optional; Default false) Add PoW hash to block_header response.

Outputs:

  • blob - string; Hexadecimal blob of block information.
  • block_header - A structure containing block header information. See get_last_block_header.
  • credits - unsigned int; If payment for RPC is enabled, the number of credits available to the requesting client. Otherwise, 0.
  • json - json string; JSON formatted block details:
  • major_version - Same as in block header.
  • minor_version - Same as in block header.
  • timestamp - Same as in block header.
  • prev_id - Same as prev_hash in block header.
  • nonce - Same as in block header.
  • miner_tx - Miner transaction information
    • version - Transaction version number.
    • unlock_time - The block height when the coinbase transaction becomes spendable.
    • vin - List of transaction inputs:
    • gen - Miner txs are coinbase txs, or "gen".
      • height - This block height, a.k.a. when the coinbase is generated.
    • vout - List of transaction outputs. Each output contains:
    • amount - The amount of the coinbase output, in atomic-units.
    • target -
      • tagged_key -
      • key - the public key of the output
      • view_tag - The 1st byte of a shared secret (used for reducing synchronization time)
    • extra - Usually called the "transaction ID" but can be used to include any random 32 byte/64 character hex string.
    • rct_signatures - Contain signatures of tx signers. Coinbased txs do not have signatures.
  • tx_hashes - List of hashes of non-coinbase transactions in the block. If there are no other transactions, this will be an empty list.
  • status - string; General RPC error code. "OK" means everything looks good.
  • top_hash - string; If payment for RPC is enabled, the hash of the highest block in the chain. Otherwise, empty.
  • untrusted - boolean; States if the result is obtained using the bootstrap mode, and is therefore not trusted (true), or when the daemon is fully synced and thus handles the RPC locally (false)

Other Daemon RPC Calls

Not all daemon RPC calls use the JSON_RPC interface. This section gives examples of these calls.

The data structure for these calls is different than the JSON RPC calls. Whereas the JSON RPC methods were called using the /json_rpc extension and specifying a method, these methods are called at their own extensions. For example:

    IP=127.0.0.1
    PORT=18081
    METHOD='gettransactions'
  PARAMS='{"txs_hashes":["d6e48158472848e6687173a91ae6eebfa3e1d778e65252ee99d7515d63090408"]}'
  curl \
    http://$IP:$PORT/$METHOD \
    -d $PARAMS \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json'

Note: It is recommended to use JSON RPC where such alternatives exist, rather than the following methods. For example, the recommended way to get a node's height is via the JSON RPC methods get_info or get_last_block_header, rather than get_height below.

For calls that end with .bin, the data is exchanged in the form of binary, serialized objects, as defined in the Core RPC Server.
