blocks

info-circle-fill

Given a block hash returns a block, in binary, hex-encoded binary or JSON formats. Responds with 404 if the block doesn't exist. The HTTP request and response are both handled entirely in-memory. With the /notxdetails/ option JSON response will only contain the transaction hash instead of the complete transaction details. The option only affects the JSON response.

Example

GET /rest/block/<BLOCK-HASH>.<bin|hex|json>

Request

curl --location --request GET 'https://btc.getblock.io/rest/block/00000000c937983704a73af28acdec37b049d214adbda81d7e2a3dd146f6ed09.json' \
--header 'x-api-key: YOUR-API-KEY' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'
