Get Block Details By Block Height

Through this endpoint customers can obtain basic information about a given mined block, specifically by using the height parameter. These block details could include the hash of the specific, the previous and the next block, its transactions count, its height, etc.

Blockchain specific data is information such as version, nonce, size, bits, merkleroot, etc.

Single Result - This endpoint returns only one single result. GET /blockchain-data/{blockchain}/{network}/blocks/height/{height}

Path Parameters

  • Required
    blockchain string

    Represents the specific blockchain protocol name, e.g. Ethereum, Bitcoin, etc.

    Example : bitcoin
    Possible Values : bitcoin ethereum ethereum-classic bitcoin-cash litecoin dogecoin dash binance-smart-chain zcash
  • Required
    network string

    Represents the name of the blockchain network used; blockchain networks are usually identical as technology and software, but they differ in data, e.g. - "mainnet" is the live network with actual data while networks like "testnet", "ropsten" are test networks.

    Possible Values : mainnet testnet mordor sepolia
  • Required
    height integer

    Represents the number of blocks in the blockchain preceding this specific block. Block numbers have no gaps. A blockchain usually starts with block 0 called the "Genesis block".
