# rpc\_modules - Optimism

This method returns an object listing all available RPC modules and their versions. This is useful for determining which methods are available on a particular node and for debugging connectivity issues.

### Parameters

* None

### Request Sample

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="cURL" %}

```bash
curl --location 'https://go.getblock.us/<ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
   "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "rpc_modules",
    "params": []
    "id": "getblock.io"
}'
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Axios" %}

```javascript
import axios from 'axios'
let data = JSON.stringify({
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "rpc_modules",
    "params": [],
    "id": "getblock.io"
};

let config = {
  method: "post",
  maxBodyLength: Infinity,
  url: "https://go.getblock.us/<ACCESS_TOKEN>",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  data: data,
};

axios
  .request(config)
  .then((response) => {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data));
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.log(error);
  });

```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Request" %}

```python
import requests
import json

url = "https://go.getblock.us/<ACESS_TOKEN>"

payload = json.dumps({
   jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "rpc_modules",
    "params": []
    "id": "getblock.io"
})
headers = {
  'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

print(response.text)

```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Rust" %}

```rs
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let client = reqwest::Client::builder()
        .build()?;

    let mut headers = reqwest::header::HeaderMap::new();
    headers.insert("Content-Type", "application/json".parse()?);

    let data = r#"{
   jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "rpc_modules",
    "params": []
    "id": "getblock.io"
}"#;

    let json: serde_json::Value = serde_json::from_str(&data)?;

    let request = client.request(reqwest::Method::POST, "https://go.getblock.us/<ACCESS_TOKEN>")
        .headers(headers)
        .json(&json);

    let response = request.send().await?;
    let body = response.text().await?;

    println!("{}", body);

    Ok(())
}
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Response

A successful response returns the following:

```json
{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": "getblock.io",
    "result": {
        "eth": "1.0",
        "net": "1.0",
        "web3": "1.0",
        "debug": "1.0",
        "trace": "1.0"
    }
}
```

### Response Parameters

* **`id`**: A unique request identifier, matching the `id` sent in the request body.
* **`jsonrpc`**: Specifies the use of JSON-RPC version 2.0.
* **`result`**: An object mapping module names to their version strings.

### Use Case

The rpc\_modules method is commonly used for:

* **Module discovery**
* **API capability checking**
* **Debugging**
* **Infrastructure documentation**

#### Error handling

| Status Code | Error Message | Cause                             |
| ----------- | ------------- | --------------------------------- |
| 404         | Not found     | Missing or invalid ACCESS\_TOKEN. |

#### Integration with Web3

Using `rpc_modules` allows developers to:

* Tools adapt automatically based on enabled modules.
* Ensures required RPC namespaces exist before dApp initialization.
* Helps compare feature sets across RPC providers.

{% tab title="Ethers.js" %}

```javascript
import { ethers } from "ethers";
const RPC_URL = "https://go.getblock.us/<ACCESS_TOKEN>";
const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider(RPC_URL);
async function Call() {
  try {
     const result = await provider.send( "rpc_modules",
[],);    
console.log("The result:", result);
    return result;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("The error:", error);
    throw error;
  }
}
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Viem" %}

```jsx
import { createPublicClient, http } from 'viem';
import { optimism } from 'viem/chains';

// Create Viem client with GetBlock
const client = createPublicClient({
  chain: optimism,
  transport: http('https://go.getblock.us/<ACCESS_TOKEN>'
});

// Using the method through Viem
async function Call() {
    try {
        // Method-specific Viem implementation
        const result = await client.request({
          method: "rpc_modules",
          params: [
          ],
        });
        console.log('Result:', result);
        return result;
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Viem Error:', error);
        throw error;
    }
}
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.getblock.io/api-reference/optimism-op/optimism_rpc_modules.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
