blockchain - Get current block number in `paritytech/parity` -


parity ui displays current block number @ bottom, if ui not enabled, how find current block number?

is there way find current block number

  • using jsonrpc ?
  • is stored somewhere in basepath?

note: if can find proper tags, please update it! there no tag parity.

you can latest block number on rpc calling 'eth_blocknumber' method.

from json rpc docs:

returns number of recent block.

// request curl -x post --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blocknumber","params":[],"id":83}'  // result {   "id":83,   "jsonrpc": "2.0",   "result": "0x4b7" // 1207 } 

there other, higher level apis might interested in, web3.js or web3.py. both allow use web3.eth.blocknumber latest block number, , work in native types rather hex strings.
