How to list ethereum accounts in RPC

Question

I want to list the accounts created in my private ethereum network. I don't want to use the geth command or geth console to list the accounts because I have 3 more geth process running. How can I list the accounts using RPC?

Answer 1

You can use the following command to list the accounts:

$ curl -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_accounts","params":[],"id":1} http://127.0.0.1:8545'

Output:

{
  "id":1,
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "result": ["0x407d73d8a49eeb85d32cf465507dd71d507100c1"]
}

I don't see why you don't want to use geth even when there are different geth process running. It shouldn't make any difference.
