The RPC API enables you to query future maintenance windows for a specific validator in current epoch

Maintenance windows

The maintenance windows for a specific validator are future block height ranges in current epoch, in which the validator does not need produce block or chunk
If the provided account is not a validator, then it will return the range from now to the end of the epoch.

• method: EXPERIMENTAL_maintenance_windows
• params:
  • account_id

example:

“`json
{
“jsonrpc”: “2.0”,
“id”: “dontcare”,
“method”: “maintenance_windows”,
“params”: {
“account_id”: “node0”
}
}
“`

“`bash
http post https://rpc.testnet.near.org jsonrpc=2.0 id=dontcare method=maintenance_windows
params:='{
“account_id”: “node0”
}’
“`

What Could Go Wrong??

When API request fails, RPC server returns a structured error response with a limited number of well-defined error variants, so client code can exhaustively handle all the possible error cases. Our JSON-RPC errors follow verror convention for structuring the error response:

{
    "error": {
        "name": <ERROR_TYPE>,
        "cause": {
            "info": {..},
            "name": <ERROR_CAUSE>
        },
        "code": -32000,
        "data": String,
        "message": "Server error",
    },
    "id": "dontcare",
    "jsonrpc": "2.0"
}

Here is the exhaustive list of the error variants that can be returned by maintenance_windows method:
