JSON-RPC API
آخرین ویرایش: @corwintines(opens in a new tab), ۱۶ مرداد ۱۴۰۳
In order for a software application to interact with the Ethereum blockchain - either by reading blockchain data or sending transactions to the network - it must connect to an Ethereum node.
For this purpose, every Ethereum client implements a JSON-RPC specification(opens in a new tab), so there is a uniform set of methods that applications can rely on regardless of the specific node or client implementation.
JSON-RPC(opens in a new tab) is a stateless, light-weight remote procedure call (RPC) protocol. It defines several data structures and the rules around their processing. It is transport agnostic in that the concepts can be used within the same process, over sockets, over HTTP, or in many various message passing environments. It uses JSON (RFC 4627) as data format.
Client implementations
Ethereum clients each may utilize different programming languages when implementing the JSON-RPC specification. See individual client documentation for further details related to specific programming languages. We recommend checking the documentation of each client for the latest API support information.
Convenience Libraries
While you may choose to interact directly with Ethereum clients via the JSON-RPC API, there are often easier options for dapp developers. Many JavaScript and backend API libraries exist to provide wrappers on top of the JSON-RPC API. With these libraries, developers can write intuitive, one-line methods in the programming language of their choice to initialize JSON-RPC requests (under the hood) that interact with Ethereum.
Consensus client APIs
This page deals mainly with the JSON-RPC API used by Ethereum execution clients. However, consensus clients also have an RPC API that allows users to query information about the node, request Beacon blocks, Beacon state, and other consensus-related information directly from a node. This API is documented on the Beacon API webpage(opens in a new tab).
An internal API is also used for inter-client communication within a node - that is, it enables the consensus client and execution client to swap data. This is called the 'Engine API' and the specs are available on GitHub(opens in a new tab).
Execution client spec
Read the full JSON-RPC API spec on GitHub(opens in a new tab). This API is documented on the Execution API webpage(opens in a new tab) and includes an Inspector to try out all the available methods.
Conventions
Hex value encoding
Two key data types get passed over JSON: unformatted byte arrays and quantities. Both are passed with a hex encoding but with different requirements for formatting.
Quantities
When encoding quantities (integers, numbers): encode as hex, prefix with "0x", the most compact representation (slight exception: zero should be represented as "0x0").
Here are some examples:
- 0x41 (65 in decimal)
- 0x400 (1024 in decimal)
- WRONG: 0x (should always have at least one digit - zero is "0x0")
- WRONG: 0x0400 (no leading zeroes allowed)
- WRONG: ff (must be prefixed 0x)
Unformatted data
When encoding unformatted data (byte arrays, account addresses, hashes, bytecode arrays): encode as hex, prefix with "0x", two hex digits per byte.
Here are some examples:
- 0x41 (size 1, "A")
- 0x004200 (size 3, "0B0")
- 0x (size 0, "")
- WRONG: 0xf0f0f (must be even number of digits)
- WRONG: 004200 (must be prefixed 0x)
The default block parameter
The following methods have an extra default block parameter:
When requests are made that act on the state of Ethereum, the last default block parameter determines the height of the block.
The following options are possible for the defaultBlock parameter:
HEX String
- an integer block numberString "earliest"
for the earliest/genesis blockString "latest"
- for the latest proposed blockString "safe"
- for the latest safe head blockString "finalized"
- for the latest finalized blockString "pending"
- for the pending state/transactions
Examples
On this page we provide examples of how to use individual JSON_RPC API endpoints using the command line tool, curl(opens in a new tab). These individual endpoint examples are found below in the Curl examples section. Further down the page, we also provide an end-to-end example for compiling and deploying a smart contract using a Geth node, the JSON_RPC API and curl.
Curl examples
Examples of using the JSON_RPC API by making curl(opens in a new tab) requests to an Ethereum node are provided below. Each example includes a description of the specific endpoint, its parameters, return type, and a worked example of how it should be used.
The curl requests might return an error message relating to the content type. This is because the --data
option sets the content type to application/x-www-form-urlencoded
. If your node does complain about this, manually set the header by placing -H "Content-Type: application/json"
at the start of the call. The examples also do not include the URL/IP & port combination which must be the last argument given to curl (e.g. 127.0.0.1:8545
). A complete curl request including these additional data takes the following form:
1curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"web3_clientVersion","params":[],"id":67}' 127.0.0.1:8545
Gossip, State, History
A handful of core JSON-RPC methods require data from the Ethereum network, and fall neatly into three main categories: Gossip, State, and History. Use the links in these sections to jump to each method, or use the table of contents to explore the whole list of methods.
Gossip Methods
These methods track the head of the chain. This is how transactions make their way around the network, find their way into blocks, and how clients find out about new blocks.
State Methods
Methods that report the current state of all the data stored. The "state" is like one big shared piece of RAM, and includes account balances, contract data, and gas estimations.
History Methods
Fetches historical records of every block back to genesis. This is like one large append-only file, and includes all block headers, block bodies, uncle blocks, and transaction receipts.

, 20 Bytes - address of the storage.QUANTITY
- integer of the position in the storage.QUANTITY|TAG
- integer block number, or the string"latest"
,"earliest"
,"pending"
,"safe"
,"finalized"
, see the default block parameter
Returns
DATA
- the value at this storage position.
Example
Calculating the correct position depends on the storage to retrieve. Consider the following contract deployed at 0x295a70b2de5e3953354a6a8344e616ed314d7251
by address 0x391694e7e0b0cce554cb130d723a9d27458f9298
.
1contract Storage {2 uint pos0;3 mapping(address => uint) pos1;4 function Storage() {5 pos0 = 1234;6 pos1[msg.sender] = 5678;7 }8}
Retrieving the value of pos0 is straight forward:
1curl -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "method": "eth_getStorageAt", "params": ["0x295a70b2de5e3953354a6a8344e616ed314d7251", "0x0", "latest"], "id": 1}' localhost:85452{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":"0x00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000004d2"}کپی
Retrieving an element of the map is harder. The position of an element in the map is calculated with:
1keccak(LeftPad32(key, 0), LeftPad32(map position, 0))کپی
This means to retrieve the storage on pos1["0x391694e7e0b0cce554cb130d723a9d27458f9298"] we need to calculate the position with:
1keccak(2 decodeHex(3 "000000000000000000000000391694e7e0b0cce554cb130d723a9d27458f9298" +4 "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001"5 )6)کپی
The geth console which comes with the web3 library can be used to make the calculation:
1> var key = "000000000000000000000000391694e7e0b0cce554cb130d723a9d27458f9298" + "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001"2undefined3> web3.sha3(key, {"encoding": "hex"})4"0x6661e9d6d8b923d5bbaab1b96e1dd51ff6ea2a93520fdc9eb75d059238b8c5e9"کپی
Now to fetch the storage:
1curl -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "method": "eth_getStorageAt", "params": ["0x295a70b2de5e3953354a6a8344e616ed314d7251", "0x6661e9d6d8b923d5bbaab1b96e1dd51ff6ea2a93520fdc9eb75d059238b8c5e9", "latest"], "id": 1}' localhost:85452{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":"0x000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000162e"}کپی

eth_sign
The sign method calculates an Ethereum specific signature with: sign(keccak256("\x19Ethereum Signed Message:\n" + len(message) + message)))
.
By adding a prefix to the message makes the calculated signature recognizable as an Ethereum specific signature. This prevents misuse where a malicious dapp can sign arbitrary data (e.g. transaction) and use the signature to impersonate the victim.
Note: the address to sign with must be unlocked.
Parameters
DATA
, 20 Bytes - addressDATA
, N Bytes - message to sign
Returns
DATA
: Signature

eth_call
Executes a new message call immediately without creating a transaction on the block chain. Often used for executing read-only smart contract functions, for example the balanceOf
for an ERC-20 contract.
Parameters
Object
- The transaction call object

:DATA
, 20 Bytes - (optional) The address the transaction is sent from.to
:DATA
, 20 Bytes - The address the transaction is directed to.gas
:QUANTITY
- (optional) Integer of the gas provided for the transaction execution. eth_call consumes zero gas, but this parameter may be needed by some executions.gasPrice
:QUANTITY
- (optional) Integer of the gasPrice used for each paid gasvalue
:QUANTITY
- (optional) Integer of the value sent with this transactioninput
:DATA
- (optional) Hash of the method signature and encoded parameters. For details see Ethereum Contract ABI in the Solidity documentation(opens in a new tab).

or"finalized"
, see the default block parameter
Returns
DATA
- the return value of executed contract.
Example
1// Request2curl -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_call","params":[{see above}],"id":1}'3// Result4{5 "id":1,6 "jsonrpc": "2.0",7 "result": "0x"8}کپی
eth_estimateGas
Generates and returns an estimate of how much gas is necessary to allow the transaction to complete. The transaction will not be added to the blockchain. Note that the estimate may be significantly more than the amount of gas actually used by the transaction, for a variety of reasons including EVM mechanics and node performance.
Parameters
See eth_call parameters, except that all properties are optional. If no gas limit is specified geth uses the block gas limit from the pending block as an upper bound. As a result the returned estimate might not be enough to executed the call/transaction when the amount of gas is higher than the pending block gas limit.
Returns
QUANTITY
- the amount of gas used.

Usage Example
Deploying a contract using JSON_RPC
This section includes a demonstration of how to deploy a contract using only the RPC interface. There are alternative routes to deploying contracts where this complexity is abstracted away—for example, using libraries built on top of the RPC interface such as web3.js(opens in a new tab) and web3.py(opens in a new tab). These abstractions are generally easier to understand and less error-prone, but it is still helpful to understand what is happening under the hood.
The following is a straightforward smart contract called Multiply7
that will be deployed using the JSON-RPC interface to an Ethereum node. This tutorial assumes the reader is already running a Geth node. More information on nodes and clients is available here. Please refer to individual client documentation to see how to start the HTTP JSON-RPC for non-Geth clients. Most clients default to serving on localhost:8545
.
1contract Multiply7 {2 event Print(uint);3 function multiply(uint input) returns (uint) {4 Print(input * 7);5 return input * 7;6 }7}
The first thing to do is make sure the HTTP RPC interface is enabled. This means we supply Geth with the --http
flag on startup. In this example we use the Geth node on a private development chain. Using this approach we don't need ether on the real network.
geth --http --dev console 2>>geth.log
This will start the HTTP RPC interface on http://localhost:8545
.
We can verify that the interface is running by retrieving the Coinbase address and balance using curl(opens in a new tab). Please note that data in these examples will differ on your local node. If you want to try these commands, replace the request params in the second curl request with the result returned from the first.

Because numbers are hex encoded, the balance is returned in wei as a hex string. If we want to have the balance in ether as a number we can use web3 from the Geth console.
1web3.fromWei("0x1639e49bba16280000", "ether")2// "410"
Now that there is some ether on our private development chain, we can deploy the contract. The first step is to compile the Multiply7 contract to byte code that can be sent to the EVM. To install solc, the Solidity compiler, follow the Solidity documentation(opens in a new tab). (You might want to use an older solc
release to match the version of compiler used for our example(opens in a new tab).)
The next step is to compile the Multiply7 contract to byte code that can be send to the EVM.

Now that we have the compiled code we need to determine how much gas it costs to deploy it. The RPC interface has an eth_estimateGas
method that will give us an estimate.
curl --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method": "eth_estimateGas", "params": [{"from": "0x9b1d35635cc34752ca54713bb99d38614f63c955", "data": "0x6060604052341561000f57600080fd5b60eb8061001d6000396000f300606060405260043610603f576000357c0100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000900463ffffffff168063c6888fa1146044575b600080fd5b3415604e57600080fd5b606260048080359060200190919050506078565b6040518082815260200191505060405180910390f35b60007f24abdb5865df5079dcc5ac590ff6f01d5c16edbc5fab4e195d9febd1114503da600783026040518082815260200191505060405180910390a16007820290509190505600a165627a7a7230582040383f19d9f65246752244189b02f56e8d0980ed44e7a56c0b200458caad20bb0029"}], "id": 5}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" localhost:8545{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":5,"result":"0x1c31e"}
And finally deploy the contract.
curl --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method": "eth_sendTransaction", "params": [{"from": "0x9b1d35635cc34752ca54713bb99d38614f63c955", "gas": "0x1c31e", "data": "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"}], "id": 6}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" localhost:8545{"id":6,"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":"0xe1f3095770633ab2b18081658bad475439f6a08c902d0915903bafff06e6febf"}
The transaction is accepted by the node and a transaction hash is returned. This hash can be used to track the transaction. The next step is to determine the address where our contract is deployed. Each executed transaction will create a receipt. This receipt contains various information about the transaction such as in which block the transaction was included and how much gas was used by the EVM. If a transaction
creates a contract it will also contain the contract address. We can retrieve the receipt with the eth_getTransactionReceipt
RPC method.
curl --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method": "eth_getTransactionReceipt", "params": ["0xe1f3095770633ab2b18081658bad475439f6a08c902d0915903bafff06e6febf"], "id": 7}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" localhost:8545{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":7,"result":{"blockHash":"0x77b1a4f6872b9066312de3744f60020cbd8102af68b1f6512a05b7619d527a4f","blockNumber":"0x1","contractAddress":"0x4d03d617d700cf81935d7f797f4e2ae719648262","cumulativeGasUsed":"0x1c31e","from":"0x9b1d35635cc34752ca54713bb99d38614f63c955","gasUsed":"0x1c31e","logs":[],"logsBloom":"0x00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000","status":"0x1","to":null,"transactionHash":"0xe1f3095770633ab2b18081658bad475439f6a08c902d0915903bafff06e6febf","transactionIndex":"0x0"}}
Our contract was created on 0x4d03d617d700cf81935d7f797f4e2ae719648262
. A null result instead of a receipt means the transaction has not been included in a block yet. Wait for a moment and check if your consensus client is running and retry it.
Interacting with smart contracts
In this example we will be sending a transaction using eth_sendTransaction
to the multiply
method of the contract.
eth_sendTransaction
requires several arguments, specifically from
, to
and data
. From
is the public address of our account, and to
is the contract address. The data
argument contains a payload that defines which method must be called and with which arguments. This is where the ABI (application binary interface)(opens in a new tab) comes into play. The ABI is a JSON file that defines how to define and encode data for the EVM.
The bytes of the payload defines which method in the contract is called. This is the first 4 bytes from the Keccak hash over the function name and its argument types, hex encoded. The multiply function accepts an uint which is an alias for uint256. This leaves us with:
1web3.sha3("multiply(uint256)").substring(0, 10)2// "0xc6888fa1"
The next step is to encode the arguments. There is only one uint256, say, the value 6. The ABI has a section which specifies how to encode uint256 types.
int<M>: enc(X)
is the big-endian two’s complement encoding of X, padded on the higher-order (left) side with 0xff for negative X and with zero > bytes for positive X such that the length is a multiple of 32 bytes.
This encodes to 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000006
.
Combining the function selector and the encoded argument our data will be 0xc6888fa10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000006
.
This can now be sent to the node:
curl --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method": "eth_sendTransaction", "params": [{"from": "0xeb85a5557e5bdc18ee1934a89d8bb402398ee26a", "to": "0x6ff93b4b46b41c0c3c9baee01c255d3b4675963d", "data": "0xc6888fa10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000006"}], "id": 8}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" localhost:8545{"id":8,"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":"0x759cf065cbc22e9d779748dc53763854e5376eea07409e590c990eafc0869d74"}
Since a transaction was sent, a transaction hash was returned. Retrieving the receipt gives:
1{2 blockHash: "0xbf0a347307b8c63dd8c1d3d7cbdc0b463e6e7c9bf0a35be40393588242f01d55",3 blockNumber: 268,4 contractAddress: null,5 cumulativeGasUsed: 22631,6 gasUsed: 22631,7 logs: [{8 address: "0x6ff93b4b46b41c0c3c9baee01c255d3b4675963d",9 blockHash: "0xbf0a347307b8c63dd8c1d3d7cbdc0b463e6e7c9bf0a35be40393588242f01d55",10 blockNumber: 268,11 data: "0x000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000002a",12 logIndex: 0,13 topics: ["0x24abdb5865df5079dcc5ac590ff6f01d5c16edbc5fab4e195d9febd1114503da"],14 transactionHash: "0x759cf065cbc22e9d779748dc53763854e5376eea07409e590c990eafc0869d74",15 transactionIndex: 016 }],17 transactionHash: "0x759cf065cbc22e9d779748dc53763854e5376eea07409e590c990eafc0869d74",18 transactionIndex: 019}نمایش همه
The receipt contains a log. This log was generated by the EVM on transaction execution and included in the receipt. The multiply
function shows that the Print
event was raised with the input times 7. Since the argument for the Print
event was a uint256 we can decode it according to the ABI rules which will leave us with the expected decimal 42. Apart from the data it is worth noting that topics can be used to determine which event created the log:
1web3.sha3("Print(uint256)")2// "24abdb5865df5079dcc5ac590ff6f01d5c16edbc5fab4e195d9febd1114503da"
