system_version - JSON-RPC Method

Description

Returns the software version string reported by the connected Enjin Matrix node. Pair this with system_chain and state_getRuntimeVersion to capture both node and runtime metadata in your diagnostics.

Parameters

This method does not take any parameters.

Returns

Field	Type	Description
result	string	Node version identifier

Request Example

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "params": [],
  "id": 1
}

Response Example

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

}

Code Examples

cURL

curl https://api-enjin-matrixchain.n.dwellir.com/YOUR_API_KEY \
  -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "system_version",
    "params": [],
    "id": 1
  }'

Python

import json
import requests

payload = {
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "system_version",
    "params": [],
    "id": 1,
}

version = requests.post(
    "https://api-enjin-matrixchain.n.dwellir.com/YOUR_API_KEY",
    headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"},
    data=json.dumps(payload),
    timeout=10,
).json()["result"]

print(f"Enjin Matrix node version: {version}")

JavaScript

const fetchVersion = async () => {
  const response = await fetch('https://api-enjin-matrixchain.n.dwellir.com/YOUR_API_KEY', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      jsonrpc: '2.0',
      method: 'system_version',
      params: [],
      id: 1
    })
  });

  const { result } = await response.json();
  console.log(`Node version: ${result}`);
};

Operational Tips

• Record the node version alongside runtime spec/transaction versions for change management.
• Detect mismatched binaries across your node fleet by comparing this string over time.
• Combine with system_name to differentiate between Enjin Relaychain and Matrixchain nodes.
