# 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

{% tab title="monero-javascript" %}

```javascript
import monerojs from 'monero-javascript';

const daemon = await monerojs.connectToDaemonRpc('https://shared.eu-central-1.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);
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="monero-python" %}

```python

backend = JSONRPCDaemon(host='shared.eu-central-1.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)
