Informational JSON-RPC Methods

The following methods return information from a node on a Casper network. The response should be identical, regardless of the node queried, as the information in question is objective and common to all nodes within a network.

chain_get_block

This method returns the JSON representation of a Block from the network. If you do not specify a block_identifier, you will receive the most recent block.

Parameter	Type	Description
block_identifier	Object	The Block hash or the Block height. (Optional)

Example chain_get_block request

{
  "id": 1,
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "chain_get_block",
  "params": [
    {
      "name": "block_identifier",
      "value": {
        "Hash": "0744fcb72af43c5cc372039bc5a8bfee48808a9ce414acc0d6338a628c20eb42"
      }
    }
  ]
}

`chain_get_block_result`

The result from chain_get_block depends on block availability from a given node. If chain_get_block returns an error message that the node does not have information on the given block, you may attempt to get the information from a different node.

Parameter	Type	Description
api_version	String	The RPC API version.
block	Object	The Block, if found. (Optional)

info_get_deploy

caution

DEPRECATED: Use info_get_transaction instead.

This method retrieves a Deploy from a network. It requires a deploy_hash to query the Deploy.

Parameter	Type	Description
deploy_hash	String	The Deploy hash.
finalized_approvals	Boolean	Determines whether to return the Deploy with the finalized approvals substituted. (Optional)

Example info_get_deploy request

    }
  ]
}

`info_get_deploy_result`

The response contains the Deploy and the results of executing the Deploy.

If the execution_info field is empty, it means that the network processed the Deploy, but has yet to execute it. If the network executed the Deploy, it will return the results of the execution. The execution results contain the Block hash which contains the Deploy.

Parameter	Type	Description
api_version	String	The RPC API version.
deploy	Object	The Deploy.
execution_info	Array	An array of execution results with Block hashes, if found. (Optional)

query_global_state

This method allows for you to query for a value stored under certain keys in global state. You may query using either a Block hash or state root hash.

Note: Querying a purse's balance requires the use of query_balance, rather than any iteration of query_global_state.

Parameter	Type	Description
key	String	The key as a formatted string, under which data can be stored in global state.
state_identifier	Object	The identifier used for the query. If not provided, the tip of the chain will be used. (Optional)
path	Array	The path components starting from the key as base. (Optional)

state_get_dictionary_item

This method returns an item from a Dictionary. Every dictionary has a seed URef, findable by using a dictionary_identifier. The address of a stored value is the blake2b hash of the seed URef and the byte representation of the dictionary key.

You may query a stored value directly using the dictionary address.

Parameter	Type	Description
state_root_hash	String	Hash of the state root.
dictionary_identifier	Object	The Dictionary query identifier.

state_get_entity

This method returns a JSON representation of an AddressableEntity from the network at a given Block. If you do not specify a block_identifier, you will receive the state of the entity at the highest state root hash. The block_identifier must refer to a Block after the entity's creation, or the method will return an empty response.

Parameter	Type	Description
entity_identifier	String	Identifier of an addressable entity.
block_identifier	Object	The Block hash. (Optional)
