Solana JSON RPC API

Solana nodes accept HTTP requests using the JSON-RPC 2.0 specification.

To interact with a Solana node inside a JavaScript application, use the solana-web3.js library, which gives a convenient interface for the RPC methods.

RPC HTTP Endpoint

Default port: 8899 eg. http://localhost:8899, http://192.168.1.88:8899

RPC PubSub WebSocket Endpoint

Default port: 8900 eg. ws://localhost:8900, http://192.168.1.88:8900

Methods

Request Formatting

To make a JSON-RPC request, send an HTTP POST request with a Content-Type: application/json header. The JSON request data should contain 4 fields:

  • jsonrpc, set to "2.0"
  • id, a unique client-generated identifying integer
  • method, a string containing the method to be invoked
  • params, a JSON array of ordered parameter values

Example using curl:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "id":1, "method":"getBalance", "params":["83astBRguLMdt2h5U1Tpdq5tjFoJ6noeGwaY3mDLVcri"]}' 192.168.1.88:8899

The response output will be a JSON object with the following fields:

  • jsonrpc, matching the request specification
  • id, matching the request identifier
  • result, requested data or success confirmation

Requests can be sent in batches by sending an array of JSON-RPC request objects as the data for a single POST.

Definitions

  • Hash: A SHA-256 hash of a chunk of data.
  • Pubkey: The public key of a Ed25519 key-pair.
  • Signature: An Ed25519 signature of a chunk of data.
  • Transaction: A Solana instruction signed by a client key-pair.
