Cronos API method that returns the number of peers connected to the node. This method can be useful for developers who want to monitor their node’s connectivity and ensure it functions as expected. By checking the number of connected peers, developers can verify that their node receives updates and is properly synchronized with the network.

net_peerCount code examples

ethers.js

const ethers = require('ethers');
const NODE_URL = "CHAINSTACK_NODE_URL";
const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider(NODE_URL);

const peersCount = async () => {
  const peers = await provider.send("net_peerCount");
  console.log(`Peers connected: ${peers}`);
}

peersCount()

from web3 import Web3  
node_url = "CHAINSTACK_NODE_URL"
web3 = Web3.HTTPProvider(node_url)

peers = web3.provider.make_request('net_peerCount', [])
print(peers)

Use case

One practical use case for the net_peerCount method is to monitor the number of peers connected to a node and take some action if the number drops below a certain threshold. For example, a developer might want to send a notification to check the node if the peer count is low for more than 10 minutes.
