Parameters

  • DATA, 32 Bytes - Hash of a block.

  • Boolean - If true it returns the full transaction objects, if false it returns only the hashes of the transactions.

  • totalDifficulty: QUANTITY - integer of the total difficulty of the chain until this block.

  • extraData: DATA - the "extra data" field of this block.

  • size: QUANTITY - integer the size of this block in bytes.

  • gasLimit: QUANTITY - the maximum gas allowed in this block.

  • gasUsed: QUANTITY - the total used gas by all transactions in this block.

  • timestamp: QUANTITY - the unix timestamp for when the block was collated.

Request

const { ethers } = require("ethers");
async function index() {
 
    // Initialize an ethers instance
    const provider = new ethers.providers.JsonRpcProvider("1DLT-IP-ADDRESS");

    // Query the blockchain (replace example parameters)
    const blockByHash = await provider.getBlockByHash({
         hash: "0xc0f4906fea23cf6f3cce98cb44e8e1449e455b28d684dfa9ff65426495584de6",
         boolean: "true",
    });

    // Print the output to console
    console.log(blockByHash);
}
