Hyperledger Besu API methods
Attention
- All JSON-RPC HTTP examples use the default host and port endpoint
http://127.0.0.1:8545. If using the –rpc-http-host or –rpc-http-port options, update the endpoint. - Except for the examples made on the Ropsten network, the example requests are made against private networks. Depending on network configuration and activity, your example results might be different.

admin_generateLogBloomCache
Tip
Manually executing admin_generateLogBloomCache is not required unless the --auto-log-bloom-caching-enabled command line option was set to false.
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
integer - Block to start generating indexes.
integer - Block to stop generating indexes.
Returns
result : object - Log bloom index details:
quantity:startBlock- Starting block for the last requested cache generation.quantity:endBlock- Ending block for the last requested cache generation.quantity:currentBlock- The most recent block added to the cache.boolean:indexing-trueif indexing is in progress.boolean:trueindicates acceptance of the request from this call to generate the cache.
Example
curl -X POST --data '{jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"admin_generateLogBloomCache", "params":["0x0", "0x10000"], "id":1}' http://127.0.0.1:8545

eth_sendRawTransaction
Sends a signed transaction. A transaction can send ether, deploy a contract, or interact with a contract. Set the maximum transaction fee for transactions using the --rpc-tx-feecap CLI option.
You can interact with contracts using [eth_sendRawTransaction or eth_call].
To avoid exposing your private key, create signed transactions offline and send the signed transaction data using eth_sendRawTransaction.
Important
Besu does not implement eth_sendTransaction.
EthSigner provides transaction signing and implements eth_sendTransaction.
Parameters
data - Signed transaction serialized to hexadecimal format. For example:
params: ["0xf869018203e882520894f17f52151ebef6c7334fad080c5704d77216b732881bc16d674ec80000801ba02da1c48b670996dcb1f447ef9ef00b33033c48a4fe938f420bec3e56bfd24071a062e0aa78a81bf0290afbc3a9d8e9a068e6d74caa66c5e0fa8a46deaae96b0833"]
Note
Creating and Sending Transactions includes examples of creating signed transactions using the web3.js library.
Returns
result : data - 32-byte transaction hash.
Example
curl -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_sendRawTransaction","params":["0xf869018203e882520894f17f52151ebef6c7334fad080c5704d77216b732881bc16d674ec80000801ba02da1c48b670996dcb1f447ef9ef00b33033c48a4fe938f420bec3e56bfd24071a062e0aa78a81bf0290afbc3a9d8e9a068e6d74caa66c5e0fa8a46deaae96b0833"],"id":1}' http://127.0.0.1:8545

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.
Parameters
The transaction call object parameters are the same as those for eth_call except for the strict parameter. If strict is set to true, the sender account balance is checked for value transfer and transaction fees. The default for strict is false.
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).
object - Transaction call object.
Returns
result : quantity - Amount of gas used.

eth_getFilterLogs
Returns an array of logs for the specified filter.
Leave the --auto-log-bloom-caching-enabled command line option at the default value of true to improve log retrieval performance.
Note
eth_getFilterLogs is only used for filters created with eth_newFilter. To specify a filter object and get logs without creating a filter, use eth_getLogs .
Parameters
data - Filter ID.
Returns
array - Log objects.

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.
Attention
Using eth_getLogs to get the logs from a large range of blocks, especially an entire chain from its genesis block, can cause Besu to hang and never return a response. We recommend splitting one large query into multiple ones for better performance.
Parameters
Object - Filter options object.
Returns
array - Log objects.

TXPOOL methods
Note
The TXPOOL API methods are not enabled by default for JSON-RPC. To enable the TXPOOL API methods, use the --rpc-http-api or --rpc-ws-api options.
txpool_besuPendingTransactions
Lists pending transactions that match the supplied filter conditions.
Parameters
QUANTITY- Integer representing the maximum number of results to return.- Object of fields used to create the filter condition.
Each field in the object corresponds to a field name containing an operator, and a value for the operator. A field name can only be specified once, and can only contain one operator. For example, you cannot query transactions with a gas price between 8 and 9 Gwei by using both the gt and lt operator in the same field name instance.
All filters must be satisfied for a transaction to be returned.
| Field name | Value | Value type | Supported operators |
|---|---|---|---|
| from | Address of the sender. | Data, 20 bytes | eq |
| to | Address of the receiver, or "contract_creation". | Data, 20 bytes | eq, action |
| gas | Gas provided by the sender. | Quantity | eq, gt, lt |
| gasPrice | Gas price, in wei, provided by the sender. | Quantity | eq, gt, lt |
| value | Value transferred, in wei. | Quantity | eq, gt, lt |
| nonce | Number of transactions made by the sender. | Quantity | eq, gt, lt |
Supported operators:
eq(Equal to)lt(Less than)gt(Greater than)action
Note
The only supported action is "contract_creation".
Returns
result - Array of objects with details of the pending transaction.

EEA methods
Note
The EEA API methods are not enabled by default for JSON-RPC. To enable the EEA API methods, use the --rpc-http-api or --rpc-ws-api options.
eea_sendRawTransaction
Distributes the private transaction, generates the privacy marker transaction and submits it to the transaction pool, and returns the transaction hash of the privacy marker transaction.
The signed transaction passed as an input parameter includes the privateFrom, privateFor or privacyGroupId, and restriction fields.
The gas and gasPrice are used by the privacy marker transaction not the private transaction itself.
To avoid exposing your private key, create signed transactions offline and send the signed transaction data using eea_sendRawTransaction.
Important
For production systems requiring private transactions, use a network with a consensus mechanism supporting transaction finality to make sure the private state does not become inconsistent with the chain. For example, IBFT 2.0 provides the required finality.
Using private transactions with pruning or fast sync is not supported.
Besu does not implement eea_sendTransaction.
EthSigner provides transaction signing and implements eea_sendTransaction.
Parameters
data - Signed RLP-encoded private transaction. For example:
params: ["0xf869018203e882520894f17f52151ebef6c7334fad080c5704d77216b732881bc16d674ec80000801ba02da1c48b670996dcb1f447ef9ef00b33033c48a4fe938f420bec3e56bfd24071a062e0aa78a81bf0290afbc3a9d8e9a068e6d74caa66c5e0fa8a46deaae96b0833"]
Returns
result : data - 32-byte transaction hash of the Privacy Marker Transaction.
Tip
If creating a contract, use priv_getTransactionReceipt to retrieve the contract address after the transaction is finalized.
Example
curl -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eea_sendRawTransaction","params": ["0xf869018203e882520894f17f52151ebef6c7334fad080c5704d77216b732881bc16d674ec80000801ba02da1c48b670996dcb1f447ef9ef00b33033c48a4fe938f420bec3e56bfd24071a062e0aa78a81bf0290afbc3a9d8e9a068e6d74caa66c5e0fa8a46deaae96b0833"], "id":1}' http://127.0.0.1:8545

}
PRIV methods
Note
The PRIV API methods are not enabled by default for JSON-RPC. To enable the PRIV API methods, use the --rpc-http-api or --rpc-ws-api options.
priv_call
Invokes a private contract function locally and does not change the privacy group state.
For private contracts, priv_call is the same as eth_call for public contracts.
Parameters
data - 32-byte privacy Group ID.
object - Transaction call object.
quantity|tag - Integer representing a block number or one of the string tags latest, earliest, or pending, as described in Block Parameter.
Returns
result : data - Return value of the executed contract.

priv_distributeRawTransaction
Distributes a signed, RLP encoded private transaction.
Tip
If you want to sign the Privacy Marker Transaction outside of Besu, use priv_distributeRawTransaction instead of eea_sendRawTransaction.
Parameters
data - Signed RLP-encoded private transaction. For example:
params: ["0xf869018203e882520894f17f52151ebef6c7334fad080c5704d77216b732881bc16d674ec80000801ba02da1c48b670996dcb1f447ef9ef00b33033c48a4fe938f420bec3e56bfd24071a062e0aa78a81bf0290afbc3a9d8e9a068e6d74caa66c5e0fa8a46deaae96b0833"]
Returns
result : data - 32-byte enclave key. The enclave key is a pointer to the private transaction in Orion.

priv_getEeaTransactionCount
Returns the private transaction count for the specified account and group of sender and recipients.
Important
If sending more than one transaction to be mined in the same block (that is, you are not waiting for the transaction receipt), you must calculate the private transaction nonce outside Besu instead of using priv_getEeaTransactionCount.
Parameters
data - Account address.
data - Base64 encoded Orion address of the sender.
array of data - Base64 encoded Orion addresses of recipients.
Returns
quantity - Integer representing the number of private transactions sent from the address to the specified group of sender and recipients.

priv_getFilterChanges
Polls the specified filter for a private contract and returns an array of changes that have occurred since the last poll.
Filters for private contracts can only be created by priv_newFilter so unlike eth_getFilterChanges, priv_getFilterChanges always returns an array of log objects or an empty list.
Parameters
data - 32-byte privacy Group ID.
data - Filter ID.
Returns
array - Log objects. If nothing has changed since the last poll, an empty list.
Example

priv_getFilterLogs
Returns an array of logs for the specified filter for a private contract.
For private contracts, priv_getFilterLogs is the same as eth_getFilterLogs for public contracts except there is no automatic log bloom caching for private contracts.
Note
priv_getFilterLogs is only used for filters created with priv_newFilter. To specify a filter object and get logs without creating a filter, use priv_getLogs.
Parameters
data - 32-byte privacy Group ID.
data - Filter ID.
Returns
array - Log objects.

priv_getTransactionCount
Returns the private transaction count for specified account and privacy group.
Important
If sending more than one transaction to be mined in the same block (that is, you are not waiting for the transaction receipt), you must calculate the private transaction nonce outside Besu instead of using priv_getTransactionCount.
Parameters
data - Account address.
data - Privacy group ID.
Returns
quantity - Integer representing the number of private transactions sent from the address to the specified privacy group.

priv_newFilter
Creates a log filter for a private contract. To poll for logs associated with the created filter, use priv_getFilterChanges. To get all logs associated with the filter, use priv_getFilterLogs.
For private contracts, priv_newFilter is the same as eth_newFilter for public contracts.
Parameters
data - 32-byte privacy Group ID.
Object - Filter options object.
Note
fromBlock and toBlock in the filter options object default to latest.
Returns
data - Filter ID.

}
priv_uninstallFilter
Uninstalls a filter for a private contract with the specified ID. When a filter is no longer required, call this method.
Filters time out when not requested by priv_getFilterChanges or priv_getFilterLogs for 10 minutes.
For private contracts, priv_uninstallFilter is the same as eth_uninstallFilter for public contracts.
Parameters
data - 32-byte privacy Group ID.
data - Filter ID.
Returns
Boolean - true if the filter was successfully uninstalled, otherwise false.
Example
curl -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc": "2.0","method": "priv_uninstallFilter","params":["4rFldHM792LeP/e2WPkTXZedjwKuTr/KwCFTt6mBbkI=","0x4a35b92809d73f4f53a2355d62125442"],"id": 1}' http://127.0.0.1:8545
