Daemon 📞 RPC calls

Introduction

This is a list of the oxend daemon RPC calls, their inputs and outputs, and examples of each.
Many RPC calls use the daemon's JSON RPC interface while others use their own interfaces, as demonstrated below.
Note: "atomic units" refer to the smallest fraction of 1 $OXEN according to the oxend implementation. 1 $OXEN = 1e12 atomic units.

JSON RPC Methods:

JSON RPC Methods

The majority of oxend RPC calls use the daemon's json_rpc interface to request various bits of information. These methods all follow a similar structure, for example:
IP=127.0.0.1
PORT=18081
METHOD='get_block_header_by_height'
ALIAS='getblockheaderbyheight'
PARAMS='{"height":912345}'
curl \
-X POST http://$IP:$PORT/json_rpc \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"0","method":"'$METHOD'","params":'$PARAMS'}' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json'
Some methods include parameters, while others do not. Examples of each JSON RPC method follow.

get_block_count

Look up how many blocks are in the longest chain known to the node.
Alias: getblockcount.
Inputs: None.
Outputs:
  • count - unsigned int; Number of blocks in longest chain seen by the node.
  • status - string; General RPC error code. "OK" means everything looks good.
Example:
$ curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:18081/json_rpc -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"0","method":"get_block_count"}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json'
​
{
"id": "0",
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"result": {
"count": 993163,
"status": "OK"
}
}

on_get_block_hash

Look up a block's hash by its height.
Alias: on_getblockhash.
Inputs:
  • block height (int array of length 1)
Outputs:
  • block hash (string)
Example:
$ curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:18081/json_rpc -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"0","method":"on_get_block_hash","params":[912345]}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json'

Outputs:
  • block_header - A structure containing block header information.

get_block_header_by_hash

Block header information can be retrieved using either a block's hash or height. This method includes a block's hash as an input parameter to retrieve basic information about the block.
Alias: getblockheaderbyhash.
Inputs:
  • hash - string; The block's sha256 hash.
Outputs:
  • block_header - A structure containing block header information. See get_last_block_header.
  • status - string; General RPC error code. "OK" means everything looks good.

Inputs:
  • height - unsigned int; The block's height.
Outputs:
  • block_header - A structure containing block header information. See get_last_block_header.
  • status - string; General RPC error code. "OK" means everything looks good.

get_block_headers_range

Similar to get_block_header_by_height above, but for a range of blocks. This method includes a starting block height and an ending block height as parameters to retrieve basic information about the range of blocks.
Alias: getblockheadersrange.
Inputs:
  • start_height - unsigned int; The starting block's height.
  • end_height - unsigned int; The ending block's height.
Outputs:
  • headers - array of block_header (a structure containing block header information. See get_last_block_header).
  • status - string; General RPC error code. "OK" means everything looks good.

get_block

Full block information can be retrieved by either block height or hash, like with the above block header calls. For full block information, both lookups use the same method, but with different input parameters.
Alias: getblock.
Inputs (pick one of the following):
  • height - unsigned int; The block's height.
  • hash - string; The block's hash.
Outputs:
  • blob - string; Hexadecimal blob of block information.
  • block_header - A structure containing block header information. See get_last_block_header.
  • json - json string; JSON formatted block details:
    • major_version - Same as in block header.
    • minor_version - Same as in block header.
    • timestamp - Same as in block header.
    • prev_id - Same as prev_hash in block header.
    • nonce - Same as in block header.
    • miner_tx - Miner transaction information
      • version - Transaction version number.
      • unlock_time - The block height when the coinbase transaction becomes spendable.
      • vin - List of transaction inputs:
        • gen - Miner txs are coinbase txs, or "gen".
          • height - This block height, a.k.a. when the coinbase is generated.
      • vout - List of transaction outputs. Each output contains:
        • amount - The amount of the output, in atomic units.
        • target -
          • key -
      • extra - Usually called the "transaction ID" but can be used to include any random 32 byte/64 character hex string.
      • signatures - Contain signatures of tx signers. Coinbased txs do not have signatures.
    • tx_hashes - List of hashes of non-coinbase transactions in the block. If there are no other transactions, this will be an empty list.
  • status - string; General RPC error code. "OK" means everything looks good.
  • untrusted - boolean; States if the result is obtained using the bootstrap mode, and is therefore not trusted (true), or when the daemon is fully synced (false).
Look up by height:
In the following example, block 912345 is looked up by its height. Note that block 912345 does not have any non-coinbase transactions. (See the next example for a block with extra transactions):
$ curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:18081/json_rpc -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"0","method":"get_block","params":{"height":912345}}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json'
