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

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
  }'

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}`);
};

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}")

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.
