Protocol

The RPC API enables you to retrieve the current genesis and protocol configuration.


Genesis Config​

What could go wrong?​

When API request fails, RPC server returns a structured error response with a limited number of well-defined error variants, so client code can exhaustively handle all the possible error cases. Our JSON-RPC errors follow verror convention for structuring the error response:

{
"error": {
"name": <ERROR_TYPE>,
"cause": {
"info": {..},
"name": <ERROR_CAUSE>
},
"code": -32000,
"data": String,
"message": "Server error",
},
"id": "dontcare",
"jsonrpc": "2.0"
}

Heads up

The fields code, data, and message in the structure above are considered legacy ones and might be deprecated in the future. Please, don't rely on them.

Here is the exhaustive list of the error variants that can be returned by EXPERIMENTAL_genesis_config method:

ERROR_TYPE
error.name

ERROR_CAUSE
error.cause.name
Status CodeReasonSolution
INTERNAL_ERRORINTERNAL_ERROR500Something went wrong with the node itself or overloaded
  • Try again later
  • Send a request to a different node
  • Check error.cause.info for more details

Protocol Config​

Returns most recent protocol configuration or a specific queried block. Useful for finding current storage and transaction costs.
