JSON RPC API

Solana nodes accept HTTP requests using the JSON-RPC 2.0 specification.

To interact with a Solana node inside a JavaScript application, use the solana-web3.js library, which gives a convenient interface for the RPC methods.

RPC HTTP Endpoint

Default port: 8899 eg. http://localhost:8899, http://192.168.1.88:8899

RPC PubSub WebSocket Endpoint

Default port: 8900 eg. ws://localhost:8900, http://192.168.1.88:8900

Request Formatting

To make a JSON-RPC request, send an HTTP POST request with a Content-Type: application/json header. The JSON request data should contain 4 fields:

jsonrpc: <string>, set to "2.0"
id: <number>, a unique client-generated identifying integer
method: <string>, a string containing the method to be invoked
params: <array>, a JSON array of ordered parameter values

Example using curl:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "id":1, "method":"getBalance", "params":["83astBRguLMdt2h5U1Tpdq5tjFoJ6noeGwaY3mDLVcri"]}' 192.168.1.88:8899

The response output will be a JSON object with the following fields:

jsonrpc: <string>, matching the request specification
id: <number>, matching the request identifier
result: <array|number|object|string>, requested data or success confirmation

Requests can be sent in batches by sending an array of JSON-RPC request objects as the data for a single POST.

Definitions

Hash: A SHA-256 hash of a chunk of data.
Pubkey: The public key of a Ed25519 key-pair.
Signature: An Ed25519 signature of a chunk of data.
Transaction: A Solana instruction signed by a client key-pair.

Configuring State Commitment

Solana nodes choose which bank state to query based on a commitment requirement set by the client. Clients may specify either:

{"commitment":"max"} - the node will query the most recent bank having reached MAX_LOCKOUT_HISTORY confirmations
{"commitment":"recent"} - the node will query its most recent bank state

The commitment parameter should be included as the last element in the params array:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "id":1, "method":"getBalance", "params":["83astBRguLMdt2h5U1Tpdq5tjFoJ6noeGwaY3mDLVcri",{"commitment":"max"}]}' 192.168.1.88:8899

Default:

If commitment configuration is not provided, the node will default to "commitment":"max"

Only methods that query bank state accept the commitment parameter. They are indicated in the API Reference below.

RpcResponse Structure

Many methods that take a commitment parameter return an RpcResponse JSON object comprised of two parts:

context : An RpcResponseContext JSON structure including a slot field at which the operation was evaluated.
value : The value returned by the operation itself.

getBlockCommitment

Returns commitment for particular block

Parameters:

<u64> - block, identified by Slot

Results:

The result field will be a JSON object containing:

commitment - commitment, comprising either:
- <null> - Unknown block
- <array> - commitment, array of u64 integers logging the amount of cluster stake in lamports that has voted on the block at each depth from 0 to MAX_LOCKOUT_HISTORY

getBlockTime

Returns the estimated production time of a block.

Each validator reports their UTC time to the ledger on a regular interval by intermittently adding a timestamp to a Vote for a particular block. A requested block's time is calculated from the stake-weighted mean of the Vote timestamps in a set of recent blocks recorded on the ledger.

Nodes that are booting from snapshot or limiting ledger size (by purging old slots) will return null timestamps for blocks below their lowest root + TIMESTAMP_SLOT_RANGE. Users interested in having this historical data must query a node that is built from genesis and retains the entire ledger.

Parameters:

<u64> - block, identified by Slot

Results:

<null> - block has not yet been produced
<i64> - estimated production time, as Unix timestamp (seconds since the Unix epoch)

Example:

// Request
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1, "method":"getBlockTime","params":[5]}' http://localhost:8899

// Result

Subscription Websocket

After connect to the RPC PubSub websocket at ws://<ADDRESS>/:

Submit subscription requests to the websocket using the methods below
Multiple subscriptions may be active at once
All subscriptions take an optional confirmations parameter, which defines

how many confirmed blocks the node should wait before sending a notification.

The greater the number, the more likely the notification is to represent

consensus across the cluster, and the less likely it is to be affected by

forking or rollbacks. If unspecified, the default value is 0; the node will

send a notification as soon as it witnesses the event. The maximum

confirmations wait length is the cluster's MAX_LOCKOUT_HISTORY, which

represents the economic finality of the chain.

accountSubscribe

Subscribe to an account to receive notifications when the lamports or data for a given account public key changes

Parameters:

<string> - account Pubkey, as base-58 encoded string
<u64> - optional, number of confirmed blocks to wait before notification.

<number> - Subscription id (needed to unsubscribe)
