eth_getBlockByHash

Returns information of the block matching the given block hash.

📘
Supported on Avalanche C-Chain (mainnet) only.

Parameters

hash - Hash of the block.
boolean - If true it returns the full transaction objects, if false only the hashes of the transactions.

Returns

object - A block object, or ‘null’ when no block was found.
- number - The block number of the requested block encoded as a hexadecimal. null if pending.
- hash - The block hash of the requested block. null if pending.
- parenthash - Hash of the parent block.
- nonce - Hash of the generated proof-of-work. null if pending.
- sha3uncles - SHA3 of the uncles data in the block.
- logsbloom - The bloom filter for the logs of the block. null if pending.
- transactionsroot - The root of the transaction trie of the block.
- stateroot - The root of the final state trie of the block.
- receiptsroot - The root of the receipts trie of the block.
- miner - The address of the beneficiary to whom the mining rewards were given.
- difficulty - Integer of the difficulty for this block encoded as a hexadecimal.
- totaldifficulty - Integer of the total difficulty of the chain until this block encoded as a hexadecimal.
- extradata - The “extra data” field of this block.
- size - The size of this block in bytes as an Integer value encoded as hexadecimal.
- gaslimit - The maximum gas allowed in this block encoded as a hexadecimal.
- gasused - The total used gas by all transactions in this block encoded as a hexadecimal.
- timestamp - The unix timestamp for when the block was collated.
- transactions - Array of transaction objects
