Info API

tip

This page was generated by a plugin that directly references this file in the AvalancheGo GitHub repository.

This API can be used to access basic information about the node.

Format​

This API uses the json 2.0 RPC format. For more information on making JSON RPC calls, see here.

Endpoint​

/ext/info
