getSnapshotSlot

Deprecated: This method is deprecated. Use getHighestSnapshotSlot instead.

Returns the highest slot that the node has a snapshot for. This method has been deprecated in favor of getHighestSnapshotSlot, which provides information about both full and incremental snapshots. Migrate to getHighestSnapshotSlot for more complete snapshot information and continued compatibility with future validator releases.

Parameters

This method does not accept any parameters.

Response

Returns a single value:

Field	Type	Description
`result`	`u64`	The highest snapshot slot
