I am starting geth like the below command

Geth "--ipcdisable --rpc --fast --datadir="path" --rpcapi personal"

I want to get the blockchain synchronization details from geth.

So I issue the following command

curl -x http://127.0.0.1:8545/ {"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_syncing","params":[],"id":1}

But I get this exception

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"error":{"code":-32601,"message":"The method eth_syncing does not exist\/is not available"}}

I can see from the logs that blockchain is synchronizing but I cant run this command. How to fix this.

  • --testnet --ipcdisable --rpc --fast --datadir="path" --rpcapi db,eth,net,web3,personal" this did the trick for me. Its working now

Try

user@Kumquat:~$ curl -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_syncing","params":[],"id":1}' http://localhost:8545
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":{"currentBlock":"0x1eb260","highestBlock":"0x1eb478","knownStates":"0x0","pulledStates":"0x0","startingBlock":"0x1eaea3"}}
