This is a list of the monerod 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 XMR according to the monerod implementation. 1 XMR = 1e12 atomic units.
The majority of monerod 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 \
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.
Look up how many blocks are in the longest chain known to the node.
Alias: getblockcount.
Inputs: None.
Outputs:
true
), or when the daemon is fully synced and thus handles the RPC locally (false
)Example:
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:18081/json_rpc -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"0","method":"get_block_count"}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json'

Not all daemon RPC calls use the JSON_RPC interface. This section gives examples of these calls.
The data structure for these calls is different than the JSON RPC calls. Whereas the JSON RPC methods were called using the /json_rpc
extension and specifying a method, these methods are called at their own extensions. For example:
IP=127.0.0.1
PORT=18081
METHOD='gettransactions'
PARAMS='{"txs_hashes":["d6e48158472848e6687173a91ae6eebfa3e1d778e65252ee99d7515d63090408"]}'
curl \
http://$IP:$PORT/$METHOD \
-d $PARAMS \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json'
Note: It is recommended to use JSON RPC where such alternatives exist, rather than the following methods. For example, the recommended way to get a node's height is via the JSON RPC methods get_info or get_last_block_header, rather than getheight below.
For calls that end with .bin, the data is exchanged in the form of binary, serialized objects, as defined in the Core RPC Server.
