Checking Status

How to check the status of your QRL 2.0 node

First run

It can take several minutes, occasionally longer, for blocks to start arriving on the first run.

Get the current block height

Query the execution engine for the latest block number:

Linux / Mac

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"qrl_blockNumber","params":[],"id":1}' \
  http://127.0.0.1:8545

Windows

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" ^
  --data "{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"method\":\"qrl_blockNumber\",\"params\":[],\"id\":1}" ^
  http://127.0.0.1:8545

The response will contain a hex-encoded block number:

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":"0x1a4"}

Check sync status

Query whether the node is still syncing with the network:

Linux / Mac

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"qrl_syncing","params":[],"id":1}' \
  http://127.0.0.1:8545

Windows

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" ^
  --data "{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"method\":\"qrl_syncing\",\"params\":[],\"id\":1}" ^
  http://127.0.0.1:8545

If the node is fully synced, the response will be:

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":false}

If the node is still syncing, the response will include progress details:

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":{"startingBlock":"0x0","currentBlock":"0x1a4","highestBlock":"0x300"}}

Check connected peers

Query the number of peers connected to your node:

Linux / Mac

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"net_peerCount","params":[],"id":1}' \
  http://127.0.0.1:8545

Windows

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" ^
  --data "{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"method\":\"net_peerCount\",\"params\":[],\"id\":1}" ^
  http://127.0.0.1:8545

The response will contain a hex-encoded peer count:

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":"0x2"}
