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 integermethod
, a string containing the method to be invokedparams
, 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 specificationid
, matching the request identifierresult
, 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.

Subscription Websocket
After connect to the RPC PubSub websocket at ws://<ADDRESS>/
:
- Submit subscription requests to the websocket using the methods below
- Multiple subscriptions may be active at once
- All subscriptions take an optional
confirmations
parameter, which defines how many confirmed blocks the node should wait before sending a notification. The greater the number, the more likely the notification is to represent consensus across the cluster, and the less likely it is to be affected by forking or rollbacks. If unspecified, the default value is 0; the node will send a notification as soon as it witnesses the event. The maximumconfirmations
wait length is the cluster'sMAX_LOCKOUT_HISTORY
, which represents the economic finality of the chain.
accountSubscribe
