Daemon RPC

This document provides a comprehensive reference to Chia's Daemon RPC API.

Note about Windows command escaping

This document will use Linux/MacOS RPC syntax. When running rpc commands on Windows, you'll need to escape all quotes with backslashes.

For example, here is a typical RPC command on Linux and MacOS:

chia rpc daemon get_keys_for_plotting '{"fingerprints":[2104826454]}'

To run the same command on Windows, you need to escape the quotes with backslashes. In other words, add a \ before each double quote, such that:

"fingerprints" becomes \"fingerprints\" etc

wscat usage

This reference contains examples that make RPC calls directly from a terminal window on a running node.

You can also make the same RPC calls to the daemon over a websocket. To do this, first you will need to install wscat, for example by running:

npm install -g wscat

Once wscat is installed, you can open a connection to the daemon. The command to run depends on your OS:

Windows
Linux
macOS

Be sure to replace username with your actual username for both the .crt and .key file.

wscat -n --cert C:\Users\<username>\.chia\mainnet\config\ssl\daemon\private_daemon.crt --key C:\Users\<username>\.chia\mainnet\config\ssl\daemon\private_daemon.key -c wss://0.0.0.0:55400

wscat -n --cert ~/.chia/mainnet/config/ssl/daemon/private_daemon.crt --key ~/.chia/mainnet/config/ssl/daemon/private_daemon.key -c wss://0.0.0.0:55400

wscat -n --cert ~/.chia/mainnet/config/ssl/daemon/private_daemon.crt --key ~/.chia/mainnet/config/ssl/daemon/private_daemon.key -c wss://0.0.0.0:55400

Once connected, you will see a > prompt from wscat.

To submit a request, run something like the following command, which calls get_wallet_addresses, with request parameters contained inside the data parameter:

{"ack": false, "command": "get_wallet_addresses", "data": {"fingerprints":[2104826454], "index": 100, "count": 2}, "destination": "daemon", "origin": "whatever", "request_id": "also_whatever"}

Response:

{"ack": true, "command": "get_wallet_addresses", "data": {"success": true, "wallet_addresses": {"2104826454": [{"address": "xch12yjgrn6m4eyszt9e3v3thczn2d6jlzvh2zjhnp0ar4kxhll8942sqq4s93", "hd_path": "m/12381/8444/2/100"}, {"address": "xch12hqq8g35gprs5r4vz366sf4r0mcvpmcy28a4tcfyda75avur4sas5vzvuj", "hd_path": "m/12381/8444/2/101"}]}}, "destination": "whatever", "origin": "daemon", "request_id": "also_whatever"}

You can also use this websocket connection with the daemon to call RPCs on other services via the daemon. This is how the Chia GUI operates. It only has a websocket connection open to the daemon -- all other RPCs are dispatched by the daemon and routed back to the wallet_ui service (the service name for the Chia GUI).

To make this work, there's an extra step. You need to first call the register_service command to give your websocket connection a name.

For example, to register the websocket connect with the service name my_fancy_service, run:

{"ack": false, "command": "register_service", "data": {"service": "my_fancy_service"}, "destination": "daemon", "origin": "my_fancy_service", "request_id": "abc123"}

Response:

{"ack": true, "command": "register_service", "data": {"success": true}, "destination": "my_fancy_service", "origin": "daemon", "request_id": "abc123"}

At this point, you can call other service RPCs:

{"ack": false, "command": "get_blockchain_state", "data": {}, "destination": "chia_full_node", "origin": "my_fancy_service", "request_id": "def456"}

Response:

{"ack": true, "command": "get_blockchain_state", "data": {"blockchain_state": {"average_block_time": 18, "block_max_cost": 11000000000, "difficulty": 2528, "genesis_challenge_initialized": true, "mempool_cost": 129478906, "mempool_fees": 100000, "mempool_max_total_cost": 550000000000, "mempool_min_fees": {"cost_5000000": 0}, "mempool_size": 3, "node_id": "b3d9de85d29931c10050b56c7afb91c99141943fc81ff2d1a8425e52be0d08ab", "peak": {"challenge_block_info_hash": "0x5b489143d48665e38ea306b1998f2873a6caa9113dc7374b55c5b7c17cf24936", "challenge_vdf_output": {"data": "0x02007d3c3fe1a93f60c475d5627a78358eb704f14002fc1862ec9746793ae4f4416ddaac8fe09c5a7fdbb71432be9bfbb41c4b383754889a55ae9b4d12dab4dac920676e873d2785860b054a2a618d8ee07a866c6bebab1338fa419d3c6bcea4e9000201"}, "deficit": 0, "farmer_puzzle_hash": "0x780c9bf0c48ea993c59ed0fd7687417be48233d916827c63157bd6a867d930aa", "fees": null, "finished_challenge_slot_hashes": null, "finished_infused_challenge_slot_hashes": null, "finished_reward_slot_hashes": null, "header_hash": "0x76fdf9c8090985de6bb537ba4d429462dffc5673cfe963dbe5369e95661d6a7a", "height": 4154084, "infused_challenge_vdf_output": {"data": "0x0000ee9f4f1b5f8c5d4c56a0c8f4977a091aef061f190cac00d80ef449d9221f2c46c22dc5f7ba30f0f9eeef2ee68d347f1765c6e44101aa4fc33ae968698e997d0095c5ddd4bc5dcdc23b54dd909fac3d03285df19ebffc5a9ef2e5442935d302040500"}, "overflow": false, "pool_puzzle_hash": "0x95023147c517f9be14037dbbeb105adb48942e036e0df8ab2962d53800a4b925", "prev_hash": "0x2283b7875556deedbc4ca7a874476ae6930769c18a7f6e1b3bdb2c04b9a1a4ce", "prev_transaction_block_hash": null, "prev_transaction_block_height": 4154081, "required_iters": 1092462, "reward_claims_incorporated": null, "reward_infusion_new_challenge": "0xfffc3371c8521a13c97e75e0412186bb6e53424ef807272d6fdda5f57e591254", "signage_point_index": 25, "sub_epoch_summary_included": null, "sub_slot_iters": 147849216, "timestamp": null, "total_iters": 17563259743086, "weight": 8641556544}, "space": 33037817585788604416, "sub_slot_iters": 147849216, "sync": {"sync_mode": false, "sync_progress_height": 0, "sync_tip_height": 0, "synced": true}}, "success": true}, "destination": "my_fancy_service", "origin": "chia_full_node", "request_id": "def456"}

Must be delineated by spaces
Must be either 12 or 24 words long
Each word must be in the BIP-39 word list
The mnemonic must form a valid private key

Example 1: success

The following example adheres to each of the above rules:

chia rpc daemon add_private_key '{"mnemonic": "concert tooth egg defy journey lottery deposit market share lion diesel hand", "label": "Example Key"}'

Response:

{
  "fingerprint": 1542304282,
  "success": true
}

Example 2: invalid length

The mnemonic must be either 12 or 24 words. Else, an error will be returned. For example:

chia rpc daemon add_private_key '{"mnemonic": "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13", "label": "Example Key"}'

Response:

{
  "error": "Invalid mnemonic length",
  "success": false
}

Example 3: invalid word

Each word must be in the BIP-39 word list. Else, an error will be returned. For example:

chia rpc daemon add_private_key '{"mnemonic": "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12", "label": "Example Key"}'

Response:

{
  "error": "'1' is not in the mnemonic dictionary; may be misspelled",
  "success": false
}

Example 4: Invalid word order

If the mnemonic is 12 or 24 words, and each word is in the BIP-39 word list, the final check is that the words form a valid mnemonic phrase. For example:

chia rpc daemon add_private_key '{"mnemonic": "you can test this example word list because they tell you stuff", "label": "Example Key"}'

Response:

{
  "error": "Invalid order of mnemonic words",
  "success": false
}
