`admin_changeLogLevel`

Changes the log level without restarting Besu. You can change the log level for all logs, or you can change the log level for specific packages or classes.

You can specify only one log level per RPC call.

Parameters

level: string - log level
log_filter: array - (optional) packages or classes for which to change the log level

Returns

result: string - Success if the log level has changed, otherwise error

`admin_generateLogBloomCache`

Generates cached log bloom indexes for blocks. APIs such as eth_getLogs and eth_getFilterLogs use the cache for improved performance.

Note

Each index file contains 100000 blocks. The last fragment of blocks less than 100000 are not indexed.

Parameters

startBlock: string - block to start generating indexes
endBlock: string - block to stop generating indexes

Returns

result: object - log bloom index details:

startBlock: string - starting block for the last requested cache generation
endBlock: string - ending block for the last requested cache generation

`DEBUG` methods

The DEBUG API methods allow you to inspect and debug the network. The DEBUG API is a more verbose alternative to the TRACE API, and its main purpose is compatibility with tools such as Remix. Where these APIs overlap, we recommend using the TRACE API for production use over the DEBUG API. Specifically, we recommend trace_block over debug_traceBlock, and trace_transaction over debug_traceTransaction.

Note

The DEBUG API methods are not enabled by default for JSON-RPC. To enable the DEBUG API methods, use the --rpc-http-api or --rpc-ws-api options.

`debug_accountAt`

Returns account information at the specified index of the specified block.

Parameters

blockHashOrNumber: string - block hash or number at which to retrieve account information
txIndex: number - transaction index at which to retrieve account information
address: string - contract or account address for which to retrieve information

Returns

result: object - account details object with the following fields:

code: data - code for the account. Displays 0x0 if the address is an externally owned account.
nonce: quantity - number of transactions made by the account before this one
balance: quantity - balance of the account in Wei
codehash: data - code hash for the account

This example uses an externally owned account address for the address parameter.

`ETH` methods

The ETH API methods allow you to interact with the blockchain.

Note

Methods with an equivalent GraphQL query include a GraphQL request and result in the method example. The parameter and result descriptions apply to the JSON-RPC requests. The GraphQL specification is defined in the schema.

`eth_accounts`

Returns a list of account addresses a client owns.

Parameters

`eth_call`

Invokes a contract function locally and does not change the state of the blockchain.

You can interact with contracts using eth_sendRawTransaction or eth_call.

If revert reason is enabled with --revert-reason-enabled, the eth_call error response includes the revert reason.

Parameters

call: object - transaction call object

blockNumber or blockHash: string - integer representing a block number, block hash, or one of the string tags latest, earliest, or pending, as described in block parameter

Note

By default, eth_call does not fail if the sender account has an insufficient balance. This is done by setting the balance of the account to a large amount of ether. To enforce balance rules, set the strict parameter in the transaction call object to true.

Returns

result: string - return value of the executed contract

`eth_estimateGas`

Returns an estimate of the gas required for a transaction to complete. The estimation process does not use gas and the transaction is not added to the blockchain. The resulting estimate can be greater than the amount of gas the transaction ends up using, for reasons including EVM mechanics and node performance.

The eth_estimateGas call does not send a transaction. You must call eth_sendRawTransaction to execute the transaction.

If revert reason is enabled with --revert-reason-enabled, the eth_estimateGas error response includes the revert reason.

Parameters

For eth_estimateGas, all fields are optional because setting a gas limit is irrelevant to the estimation process (unlike transactions, in which gas limits apply).

call: object - transaction call object

Returns

result: string - amount of gas used

The following example returns an estimate of 21000 wei (0x5208) for the transaction.

Parameters

blockCount: integer or string - Number of blocks in the requested range. Between 1 and 1024 blocks can be requested in a single query. If blocks in the specified block range are not available, then only the fee history for available blocks is returned. Accepts hexadecimal or integer values.

`eth_gasPrice`

Returns a percentile gas unit price for the most recent blocks, in Wei. By default, the last 100 blocks are examined and the 50th percentile gas unit price (that is, the median value) is returned.

If there are no blocks, the value for --min-gas-price is returned. The value returned is restricted to values between --min-gas-price and --api-gas-price-max. By default, 1000 Wei and 500GWei.

Use the --api-gas-price-blocks, --api-gas-price-percentile , and --api-gas-price-max command line options to configure the eth_gasPrice default values.

`eth_getLogs`

Returns an array of logs matching a specified filter object.

Leave the --auto-log-bloom-caching-enabled command line option at the default value of true to improve log retrieval performance.

caution

Using eth_getLogs to get logs from a large range of blocks, especially an entire chain from its genesis block, might cause Besu to hang for an indeterminable amount of time while generating the response.
