# getnetworkinfo - Zcash

This method returns detailed network status information: peer counts by direction, protocol version, active listening addresses, and negotiated services. Introduced in Zebra 3.0.0 (January 2026), it provides the rich network-layer diagnostics that Bitcoin Core-family tooling expects and that were previously unavailable in Zebra.

## Parameters

This method takes no parameters.

## Response Parameters

| Parameter         | Type            | Description                                  |
| ----------------- | --------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| `version`         | integer         | Zebra numeric version                        |
| `subversion`      | string          | User agent string sent to peers              |
| `protocolversion` | integer         | P2P protocol version                         |
| `localservices`   | string          | Hex-encoded services supported by this node  |
| `localrelay`      | boolean         | Whether the node relays transactions         |
| `timeoffset`      | integer         | Median time offset in seconds vs peer clocks |
| `connections`     | integer         | Total active peer connections                |
| `connections_in`  | integer         | Inbound peer connections                     |
| `connections_out` | integer         | Outbound peer connections                    |
| `networkactive`   | boolean         | Whether the P2P network layer is active      |
| `networks`        | array of object | Per-network (IPv4, IPv6, Tor) status objects |
| `relayfee`        | number          | Minimum relay fee in ZEC/kB                  |
| `incrementalfee`  | number          | Minimum increment for fee bumping            |
| `localaddresses`  | array of object | Locally-advertised addresses                 |
| `warnings`        | string          | Any node warnings (empty if none)            |

## Use Cases

* **Detailed Network Diagnostics**: Distinguish inbound vs outbound connection issues on a self-hosted node
* **Kubernetes / Load Balancer Health Checks**: Use `networkactive` as a P2P readiness signal for orchestration
* **Fee Estimation**: Read `relayfee` and `incrementalfee` for fee-bumping logic on stuck transactions
* **Node Warnings Monitoring**: Poll the `warnings` field to detect network-layer issues that don't stop the node

## Error Handling

| Error Code | Message          | Description                                                                       |
| ---------- | ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| -32601     | Method not found | Node runs an older Zebra version (pre-3.0.0) that doesn't expose `getnetworkinfo` |
| -32603     | Internal error   | Node failed to compile the network info payload                                   |
