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
  • currentBlock: string - most recent block added to the cache
  • indexing: boolean - indicates if indexing is in progress
  • boolean - indicates acceptance of the request from this call to generate the cache
  • curl HTTP request
  • wscat WS request
  • JSON result
curl -X POST --data '{jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"admin_generateLogBloomCache", "params":["0x0", "0x10000"], "id":1}' https://connect.bit-rock.io

  • fromBlock: string - integer representing a block number or one of the string tags latest, earliest, or pending, as described in block parameter
  • toBlock: string - integer representing a block number or one of the string tags latest, earliest, or pending, as described in block parameter
You can skip a parameter by using an empty string, "". If you specify:

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.

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

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.

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_coinbase​​

Returns the client coinbase address. The coinbase address is the account to pay mining rewards to.
To set a coinbase address, start Besu with the --miner-coinbase option set to a valid Ethereum account address. You can get the Ethereum account address from a client such as MetaMask or Bitrock Scan. For example:
Example
besu --miner-coinbase="0xfe3b557e8fb62b89f4916b721be55ceb828dbd73" --rpc-http-enabled

eth_createAccessList​​

Creates an EIP-2930 access list that you can include in a transaction.
Parameters​​
transaction: 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.
Returns​​
result: object - access list object with the following fields:
  • accessList: array of objects - list of objects with the following fields:
    • address: string - addresses to be accessed by the transaction
    • storageKeys: array - storage keys to be accessed by the transaction
  • gasUsed: string - approximate gas cost for the transaction if the access list is included

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.

The following example request estimates the cost of deploying a simple storage smart contract to the network. The data field contains the hash of the compiled contract you want to deploy. (You can get the compiled contract hash from your IDE, for example, Remix > Compile tab > details > WEB3DEPLOY.) The result is 113355 wei.

eth_feeHistory​​

Returns base fee per gas and transaction effective priority fee per gas history for the requested block range, allowing you to track trends over time.
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.
  • newestBlock: string - Integer representing the highest number block of the requested range or one of the string tags latest, earliest, or pending, as described in block parameter.
  • array of integers - (optional) A monotonically increasing list of percentile values to sample from each block's effective priority fees per gas in ascending order, weighted by gas used.
Returns​​
result: object - Fee history results object.

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.
Parameters​​
None
Returns​​
result: string - percentile gas unit price for the most recent blocks, in Wei, as a hexadecimal value

  • 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
