Parity Ethereum

To run your own Ethereum node in one line, clone my GitHub repository: https://github.com/smd00/ethereum-node

View service status:

journalctl -f -u parity.service

Set your Parity node URL for the session:

ETH_URL=http://127.0.0.1:3000

Check block number:

#Hexadecimal format
curl --data '{"method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST $ETH_URL
#Decimal format
echo $((`curl --data '{"method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST $ETH_URL | grep -oh "\w*0x\w*"`))

List wallet addresses:

curl --data '{"method":"parity_accountsInfo","params":[],"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST $ETH_URL

Check wallet balance:

#Replace 0x36928500Bc1dCd7af6a2B4008875CC336b927D57 with your ETH address
#Hexadecimal format
curl --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getBalance","params": ["0x36928500Bc1dCd7af6a2B4008875CC336b927D57", "latest"],"id":1}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" $ETH_URL
#Decimal format
echo $((`curl --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getBalance","params": ["0x36928500Bc1dCd7af6a2B4008875CC336b927D57", "latest"],"id":1}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" $ETH_URL | grep -oh "\w*0x\w*"`))

Send ETH to another address:

#Replace 0xFROM_ADDRESS, 0xTO_ADDRESS, 0xAMOUNT, PASSPHRASE
curl --data '{"method":"personal_sendTransaction","params":[{"from":"0xFROM_ADDRESS","to":"0xTO_ADDRESS","value":"0xAMOUNT"},"PASSPHRASE"],"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST $ETH_URL
