Find below a list of JSON-RPC methods supported on CrossFi, sorted by namespaces.

Curl Examples Explained

The curl options below might return a response where the node complains about the content type, this is because the --data option sets the content type to application/x-www-form-urlencoded. If your node does complain, manually set the header by placing -H "Content-Type: application/json" at the start of the call.

The examples also do not include the URL/IP & port combination which must be the last argument given to curl e.x. 127.0.0.1:8545

Debug Methods

`debug_traceTransaction`

The traceTransaction debugging method will attempt to run the transaction in the exact same manner as it was executed on the network. It will replay any transaction that may have been executed prior to this one before it will finally attempt to execute the transaction that corresponds to the given hash.

Parameters

Trace Config

// Request
curl -X POST --data ', step: function(log) , result: function() }"}],"id":1}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:8545

//Result
["68410", "51470"]

`debug_traceBlockByNumber`

The traceBlockByNumber endpoint accepts a block number and will replay the block that is already present in the database.

Parameters

Trace Config

// Request
curl -X POST --data ', step: function(log) , result: function() }"}],"id":1}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:8545
