get_info - Monero

Example code for the get_info JSON-RPC method. Complete guide on how to use get_info JSON-RPC in GetBlock Web3 documentation.

This method returns a comprehensive snapshot of the node's state and the network it's connected to — block height, difficulty, connection counts, sync status, and more. This is the most useful single call for health-checking and diagnostics.

Parameters

None

Request Example

curl --location --request POST 'https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "get_info",
    "params": {},
    "id": "getblock.io"
}'

import requests
import json

url = "https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/"

payload = json.dumps({
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "get_info",
    "params": {},
    "id": "getblock.io"
})

headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=payload)
print(response.text)

use reqwest::Client;
use serde_json::json;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let client = Client::new();

    let payload = json!({

        "method": "get_info",
        "params": {},
        "id": "getblock.io"
});

    let response = client
        .post("https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/")
        .header("Content-Type", "application/json")
        .json(&payload)
        .send()
        .await?;

    let result: serde_json::Value = response.json().await?;
    println!("{:#?}", result);

    Ok(())
}

SDK Integration

import monerojs from 'monero-javascript';

const daemon = await monerojs.connectToDaemonRpc('https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/');

// Most methods are exposed directly on the daemon client. For raw access:
const result = await daemon.getDaemonConnection().sendJsonRequest('get_info', {});
console.log(result);

from monero.backends.jsonrpc import JSONRPCDaemon
from monero.daemon import Daemon

backend = JSONRPCDaemon(host='go.getblock.io', port=443, path='/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/', protocol='https')
daemon = Daemon(backend)

# For methods covered by the typed API, use the daemon attribute directly.
# For raw RPC access:
result = backend.raw_request('get_info', {})
print(result)
