ping
Requests that a ping be sent to all other nodes, to measure ping time.
Results provided in getpeerinfo, pingtime and pingwait fields are decimal seconds.
Ping command is handled in queue with all other commands, so it measures processing backlog, not just network ping.
Examples:

> curl --user myusername --data-binary ' {" jsonrpc" : " 1.0" , " id" :" curltest" , " method" : " ping" , " params" : [] }' -H ' content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:8332/

This is a website, created out of frustration with uncomplete and outdated Bitcoin Core RPC documentation online.
< / p >
< p >
It was inspired by < a href = "http://chainquery.com/bitcoin-api" > ChainQuery< / a > , which seems to be abandoned. These docs are even simplier, so they can be regenerated by anyone.
< / p >
< p >
Made by < a href = "https://twitter.com/karel_3d" > @karel_3d< / a > ; license of the docs is MIT (see < a href = "https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/" > bitcoin repo< / a > ), license of the scripts and webpage is also MIT ((C) 2018 Karel Bilek) (< a href = "https://github.com/bitcoin-rpc/bitcoin-rpc.github.io" > github repo< / a > )
< / p >
< p >
Bitcoin version: 0.16.0.
< / p >
< p >
Note that the RPC is from a regtest node (for completeness), so it includes some additional calls that a regular node doesn't have.
