eth_getBlockByNumber

📘

Supported on Avalanche C-Chain (mainnet) only.

Parameters

• quantity or tag - Integer block number, or the string 'latest', 'earliest' or 'pending'.
• 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 when its pending block.
  • hash - The block hash of the requested block. null when its pending block.
  • 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, or 32 Bytes transaction hashes depending on the second Boolean parameter in request.
  • uncles - Array of uncle hashes.
