Parameters

This method does not accept any parameters

Returns

object

GET request that returns core node information

peer_version
integer

Identifies the version number for the networking communication. This should not change while a node is running, and will only change if there's an upgrade.

pox_consensus
string

A hash used to identify the burnchain view for a node. It incorporates Bitcoin chain information and PoX information. Nodes that disagree on this value will appear to each other as forks. This value will change after every block.

burn_block_height
integer

The latest Bitcoin chain height.

stable_pox_consensus
string

Same as 'pox_consensus,' but evaluated at stable_burn_block_height.

stable_burn_block_height
integer

Leftover from Stacks 1.0, basically always 'burn_block_height - 1.'

server_version
string

A version descriptor.

network_id
integer

Similar to 'peer_version' and will be used to differentiate between different testnets. This value will be different between mainnet and testnet. Once launched, this value will not change.

parent_network_id
integer

Same as 'network_id,' but for Bitcoin.

stacks_tip_height
integer

The latest Stacks chain height. Stacks forks can occur independent of the Bitcoin chain, and that height doesn't increase 1-to-1 with the Bitcoin height.

stacks_tip
string

The best known block hash for the Stacks chain (not including any pending microblocks).

stacks_tip_consensus_hash
string

The burn chain (i.e., Bitcoin) consensus hash at the time that 'stacks_tip' was mined.

genesis_chainstate_hash
string

The hash of the genesis chainstate.

unanchored_tip
string

The latest microblock hash if any microblocks were processed. If no microblock has been processed for the current block, null is returned.

unanchored_seq
integer

The sequence number of the latest unanchored microblock, or null if no microblocks have been processed.

tenure_height
integer

The current tenure height.

exit_at_block_height
integer

The block height at which the testnet network will be reset. Not applicable for mainnet, returns null.

is_fully_synced
boolean

Indicates whether the node is fully synced with the network.

node_public_key
string

The public key of the node.

node_public_key_hash
string

The hash of the node's public key.

affirmations
object

Information about various chain affirmations.

heaviest
string

The heaviest affirmation.

stacks_tip
string

The stacks tip affirmation.

sortition_tip
string

The sortition tip affirmation.

tentative_best
string

The tentative best affirmation.

last_pox_anchor
object

Information about the last PoX anchor.

anchor_block_hash
string

The hash of the last anchor block.

anchor_block_txid
string

The transaction ID of the last anchor block.

stackerdbs
array

Information about stacker databases.
