Get Block Details By Block Hash

GET
/blockchain-data/{blockchain}/{network}/blocks/hash/{blockHash}

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.

Path Parameters

blockchain string Required

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

network string Required

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.

blockHash string Required

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.

Query Parameters

context string Optional

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.

Response Schema

apiVersion string Required

Specifies the version of the API that incorporates this endpoint.

2023-04-25
requestId string Required

Defines the ID of the request. The requestId is generated by Crypto APIs and it's unique for every request.

601c1710034ed6d407996b30
context string Optional

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.

yourExampleString
data object Required
item object Required
hash string Required

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.

0000000006b3f483bec16b8a85c632bdd30a14a202c83a9148002c9ee441dd0c
height integer Required

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".

1941208
nextBlockHash string Required

Represents the hash of the next block. When this is the last block of the blockchain this value will be an empty string.

0000000000000003b08ca90b701da447fb3e7c5c6b43acd33a5e4062fe98dea5
previousBlockHash string Required

Represents the hash of the previous block, also known as the parent block.

00000000844434fd86a630ba8e29503d5396a2b6c4003d69bf0a08d96169d4cd
timestamp integer Required

Defines the exact date/time when this block was mined in Unix Timestamp.

1615378134
transactionsCount integer Required

Represents the total number of all transactions as part of this block.

145
blockchainSpecific object Required
difficulty string Required

Represents a mathematical value of how hard it is to find a valid hash for this block.

209515044.4071968
size integer Optional

Numeric representation of the block size

bits string Required

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.

420773839
chainwork string Required

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.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000003ddecb747af741625d6
merkleRoot string Required

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.

7b52cc9ce137b92365eb4d0f8a708da9e3ba199aa422f96352a0c0c87221251b
nonce integer Required

Represents a random value that can be adjusted to satisfy the Proof of Work.

1535290446
strippedSize integer Required

Defines the numeric representation of the block size excluding the witness data.

2840
version integer Required

Represents the version of the specific block on the blockchain.

545259520
versionHex string Required

Is the hexadecimal string representation of the block's version.

20000000
weight integer Required

Represents a measurement to compare the size of different transactions to each other in proportion to the block size limit.
