GetVersion

Returns the version string of the Yellowstone Geyser plugin running on the node. This is a lightweight method with no parameters, ideal for health checks and compatibility verification.

Use this method to confirm that your gRPC connection is alive and to verify that the Geyser plugin version supports the features you need. In production deployments, call this periodically as a heartbeat check to detect connection failures early.

Type: Unary (request/response)

Parameters

This method takes no parameters.

Response

Field	Type	Description
`version`	`string`	The Yellowstone Geyser gRPC plugin version string
