getVersion

Last updated:

`getVersion` reports the Solana software running on the node that handled your request. It takes no parameters and returns a small object with two fields: the human-readable `solana-core` release string and the numeric `feature-set` identifier that the node currently advertises.

Use it to confirm which cluster build is behind your endpoint — for example, to verify that a feature you depend on has shipped, or to log the node version alongside diagnostics when a response looks unexpected. Because it is cheap and parameter-free, it also doubles as a lightweight check that your endpoint and API key are wired up correctly.

The `feature-set` integer is a hash of the set of runtime features active on the node. Two nodes on the same release line can report the same `solana-core` string while differing on `feature-set` during a feature-activation rollout, so treat `feature-set` — not the version string — as the authoritative signal when you need to know exactly which features are live.

Examples

curl https://<your-endpoint>/ \
  -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \

  body: JSON.stringify({
  "id": 1,
  "method": "getVersion",
  "params": [],

}),
});
const data = await res.json();
import requests
resp = requests.post("https://<your-endpoint>/", json={"id":1,"method":"getVersion","params":[],"jsonrpc":"2.0"})
print(resp.json())
