getblock

getblock “blockhash” ( verbosity )

If verbosity is 0, returns a string that is serialized, hex-encoded data for block ‘hash’. If verbosity is 1, returns an Object with information about block . If verbosity is 2, returns an Object with information about block and information about each transaction. If verbosity is 3, returns an Object with information about block and information about each transaction, including prevout information for inputs (only for unpruned blocks in the current best chain).

Arguments:

blockhash (string, required) The block hash
verbosity (numeric, optional, default=1) 0 for hex-encoded data, 1 for a JSON object, 2 for JSON object with transaction data, and 3 for JSON object with transaction data including prevout information for inputs

Result (for verbosity = 0): “hex” (string) A string that is serialized, hex-encoded data for block ‘hash’

Result (for verbosity = 1): { (json object) “hash” : “hex”, (string) the block hash (same as provided) “confirmations” : n, (numeric) The number of confirmations, or -1 if the block is not on the main chain “size” : n, (numeric) The block size “strippedsize” : n, (numeric) The block size excluding witness data “weight” : n, (numeric) The block weight as defined in BIP 141 “height” : n, (numeric) The block height or index “version” : n, (numeric) The block version “versionHex” : “hex”, (string) The block version formatted in hexadecimal “merkleroot” : “hex”, (string) The merkle root “tx” : [ (json array) The transaction ids “hex”, (string) The transaction id … ], “time” : xxx, (numeric) The block time expressed in UNIX epoch time “mediantime” : xxx, (numeric) The median block time expressed in UNIX epoch time “nonce” : n, (numeric) The nonce “bits” : “hex”, (string) The bits “difficulty” : n, (numeric) The difficulty “chainwork” : “hex”, (string) Expected number of hashes required to produce the chain up to this block (in hex) “nTx” : n, (numeric) The number of transactions in the block “previousblockhash” : “hex”, (string, optional) The hash of the previous block (if available) “nextblockhash” : “hex” (string, optional) The hash of the next block (if available) }

Result (for verbosity = 2): { (json object) …, Same output as verbosity = 1 “tx” : [ (json array) { (json object) …, The transactions in the format of the getrawtransaction RPC. Different from verbosity = 1 “tx” result “fee” : n (numeric) The transaction fee in BTC, omitted if block undo data is not available }, … ] }

Result (for verbosity = 3): { (json object) …, Same output as verbosity = 2 “tx” : [ (json array) { (json object) “vin” : [ (json array) { (json object) …, The same output as verbosity = 2 “prevout” : { (json object) (Only if undo information is available) “generated” : true|false, (boolean) Coinbase or not “height” : n, (numeric) The height of the prevout “value” : n, (numeric) The value in BTC “scriptPubKey” : { (json object) “asm” : “str”, (string) The asm “hex” : “str”, (string) The hex “address” : “str”, (string, optional) The Bitcoin address (only if a well-defined address exists) “type” : “str” (string) The type (one of: nonstandard, pubkey, pubkeyhash, scripthash, multisig, nulldata, witness_v0_scripthash, witness_v0_keyhash, witness_v1_taproot, witness_unknown) } } }, … ] }, … ] }
