# getVersion

The `getVersion` RPC method in **CoinVera** returns the **software version** of the Solana node responding to the request. This includes the `solana-core` version string and a `feature-set` identifier, making it a valuable tool for diagnostics, compatibility checks, and monitoring.

***

#### ✅ Common Use Cases

* **Node Version Verification**\
  Confirm the version of the CoinVera RPC node you’re communicating with—for feature support or SDK compatibility.
* **Network Monitoring**\
  Periodically query node versions across the network (use `getClusterNodes` for broader insight).
* **Troubleshooting and Debugging**\
  Determine if issues may be version-specific by identifying the exact software build of the node.

***

#### 🧾 Request Parameters

This method **does not take any parameters**.

```ts
[]
```

***

#### 📦 Response Structure

```json
{
  "solana-core": "1.17.9",
  "feature-set": 123456789
}
```

* **solana-core**: The version string of the Solana software running on the node.
* **feature-set**: An internal identifier corresponding to the set of features enabled in this version.

***

#### 🧪 Example

**Get Current Node Version**

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "getVersion"
}
```

**Response**:

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "result": {
    "solana-core": "1.17.9",
    "feature-set": 123456789
  },
  "id": 1
}
```

**Code Examples**

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Nodejs" %}

```javascript
const fetch = require('node-fetch');

async function getVersion(rpcUrl) {
  try {
    const response = await fetch(rpcUrl, {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({
        jsonrpc: '2.0',
        id: 1,
        method: 'getVersion'
      }),
    });

    const data = await response.json();
    
    // Print the exact full response
    console.log('Full RPC Response:');
    console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));
    
    return data;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error getting health:', error.message);
    return null;
  }
}

// Example usage
const RPC_URL = 'https://rpc.coinvera.io/?x-api-key=your-coinvera-x-api-key';

getVersion(RPC_URL);
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Python" %}

```python
import requests
import json

def get_version(rpc_url):
    try:
        response = requests.post(
            rpc_url,
            headers={
                'Content-Type': 'application/json',
            },
            json={
                'jsonrpc': '2.0',
                'id': 1,
                'method': 'getVersion'
            }
        )
        
        data = response.json()
        
        # Print the exact full response
        print('Full RPC Response:')
        print(json.dumps(data, indent=2))
        
        return data
        
    except Exception as error:
        print(f'Error getting health: {error}')
        return None

# Example usage
RPC_URL = 'https://rpc.coinvera.io/?x-api-key=your-coinvera-x-api-key'
get_version(RPC_URL)
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

**Example Response**

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "result": {
    "feature-set": 3073396398,
    "solana-core": "2.2.16"
  },
  "id": 1
}
```

#### 💡 Developer Tips

* **Simple and Fast**\
  This is one of the quickest RPC calls—ideal for lightweight health checks or CLI tools.
* **Version Is Node-Specific**\
  The version returned reflects the specific CoinVera RPC node you're querying. During network upgrades, other nodes may be running different versions.
* **Use Feature Set for Compatibility**\
  While version strings are useful, the `feature-set` number can be important for programmatic checks or runtime gating of features.

The `getVersion` method is a simple yet effective way to verify Solana software versions and ensure you're interacting with a compatible and up-to-date CoinVera node.
