curl -X POST https://nile.trongrid.io/jsonrpc \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \

Response

Hex-encoded wallet.getNowBlock().getBlockHeader().getRawData().getNumber(). The Solidity port returns the height of the latest solidified block.

The example below is the real response captured from a Nile testnet call:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "result": "0x3fe1dec"
}

The value advances with every new block; subsequent requests will return higher values.

Error responses

None.
