Through this endpoint customers can obtain basic information about a given mined block, specifically by using the hash
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.
Represents the specific blockchain protocol name, e.g. Ethereum, Bitcoin, etc.
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", "sepolia" are test networks.
Represents the hash of the block, which is its unique identifier. It represents a cryptographic digital fingerprint made by hashing the block header twice through the SHA256 algorithm.
In batch situations the user can use the context to correlate responses with requests. This property is present regardless of whether the response was successful or returned as an error. context
is specified by the user.
Specifies the version of the API that incorporates this endpoint.
Defines the ID of the request. The requestId
is generated by Crypto APIs and it's unique for every request.
In batch situations the user can use the context to correlate responses with requests. This property is present regardless of whether the response was successful or returned as an error. context
is specified by the user.
Represents the hash of the block, which is its unique identifier. It represents a cryptographic digital fingerprint made by hashing the block header twice through the SHA256 algorithm.
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".
Represents the hash of the next block. When this is the last block of the blockchain this value will be an empty string.
Represents the hash of the previous block, also known as the parent block.
Defines the exact date/time when this block was mined in Unix Timestamp.
Represents the total number of all transactions as part of this block.
Represents a mathematical value of how hard it is to find a valid hash for this block.
Numeric representation of the block size
A sub-unit of BTC equal to 0.000001 BTC, or 100 Satoshi, and is the same as microbitcoin (μBTC). Bits have two-decimal precision.
Represents a hexadecimal number of all the hashes necessary to produce the current chain. E.g., when converting 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000086859f7a841475b236fd to a decimal you get 635262017308958427068157 hashes, or 635262 exahashes.
Defines the single and final (root) node of a Merkle tree. It is the combined hash of all transactions' hashes that are part of a blockchain block.
Represents a random value that can be adjusted to satisfy the Proof of Work.
Defines the numeric representation of the block size excluding the witness data.
Represents the version of the specific block on the blockchain.
Is the hexadecimal string representation of the block's version.
Represents a measurement to compare the size of different transactions to each other in proportion to the block size limit.
