eth_blockNumber

POSThttps://triport.io/rpc/bsc

Return the latest block number.

BNB Smart Chainbsc:rpcbsc_read_rpc - 15 / 20 / 100 / 250 RPS (free / basic / pro / business) (default, unmeasured); enterprise unlimited

eth_blockNumber returns the latest block number known to the selected BNB Smart Chain node as an EVM hex quantity.

Use it as a lightweight head reference before issuing block-relative reads or to compare node progress. Decode the 0x quantity when an application needs a decimal block number.

This method reports a block height only; it does not return block contents or a freshness guarantee. Use eth_getBlockByNumber when the header and transactions are required, and eth_syncing to inspect node sync state.

Parameters

JSON-RPC params must be an empty array: [].

Response

The response below is the checked fixture for this method; it is reproduced without changing its fields or values.

resultstring (hex quantity)

Latest block number as a hex quantity.

Errors

Errors use the standard JSON-RPC error envelope. See BSC errors for network-specific classification and the linked shared reference.

Code	Meaning	When it happens
`-32602`	Invalid params	A required positional parameter is missing or a value does not match the OpenRPC schema.
`401`	Unauthorized	The `x-token` API key is missing or invalid.
`429`	Rate limited	The request exceeds the configured category RPS for the caller's tier.

console.log(payload.result);

Notes

The BSC categories use configured defaults of 15 / 20 / 100 / 250 RPS; they are marked unmeasured in the tier matrix.
