Is there a way, by using bitcoin-cli using RPC querying, if the node I'm querying is running on MainNet or TestNet?
Thanks
How to check if node is on TestNet or MainNet via `bitcoin-cli`?

Simplest API, doh!:
$ bitcoin-cli getinfo
{
"version": 120100,
"protocolversion": 70012,
"walletversion": 60000,
"balance": 0.00000000,
"blocks": 414105,
"timeoffset": -165,
"connections": 9,
"proxy": "",
"difficulty": 199312067531.243,
"testnet": false,
"keypoololdest": 1466689642,
"keypoolsize": 101,
"paytxfee": 0.00000000,
"relayfee": 0.00001000,

}

Since version 0.16.0
$ bitcoind-cli getblockchaininfo
{
"chain": "main",
"blocks": 525663,
"headers": 525663,
.

.
}
the
