eth_mining - BSC

Example code for the eth_syncing JSON RPC method. Сomplete guide on how to use eth_syncing JSON RPC in GetBlock Web3 documentation.

This method returns whether the client is actively mining new blocks. On BSC with PoSA consensus, this method typically returns false for standard RPC endpoints as they are not validators.

Parameters

None

Request Example

cURL

curl --location --request POST 'https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{

    "method": "eth_mining",
    "params": [],
    "id": "getblock.io"
}'

})
.then(response => console.log(response.data))
.catch(error => console.error(error));
