net_version

Last updated:

net_version returns the network ID of the network the node is connected to, encoded as a decimal string. For Ethereum mainnet this is "1".

Use this method for a quick connectivity check or to detect which network your RPC connection is pointed at. Note that it is distinct from eth_chainId: net_version returns the legacy network ID as a decimal string, while eth_chainId returns the EIP-155 chain ID as a hex quantity. The two values happen to coincide on mainnet but are not guaranteed to match on every network. When you need the chain ID for replay-protected transaction signing, prefer eth_chainId.

This method takes no parameters and is available on every tier.

Examples

curl https://triport.io/sol \
  -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <api-key>' \
  -d '{"id":1,"method":"net_version","params":[],"jsonrpc":"2.0"}'
const res = await fetch("https://triport.io/sol", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json", Authorization: "Bearer <api-key>" },
  body: JSON.stringify({
  "id": 1,
  "method": "net_version",
  "params": [],
  "jsonrpc": "2.0"
}),
});
const data = await res.json();
import requests
resp = requests.post(
    "https://triport.io/sol",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer <api-key>"},
    json={"id":1,"method":"net_version","params":[],"jsonrpc":"2.0"},
)
print(resp.json())
{
  "id": 1,
  "result": "1",
  "jsonrpc": "2.0"
}
