Overview
- Dataset ID:
0101 - Blocks - Description: Canonical block headers with BlockDB integrity metadata.
- CSV Sample: Download
- JSON Sample: Download
Parameters
Range Filters (mutually exclusive)
number
Starting block number (inclusive) for the query. Use with
to_block.number
Ending block number (inclusive) for the query. Use with
from_block.string
Starting timestamp (ISO-8601). If it falls between blocks, the next block after this timestamp is used. Use with
to_timestamp.string
Ending timestamp (ISO-8601). If it falls between blocks, the last block before this timestamp is used. Use with
from_timestamp.Scoping rule: Provide exactly one of:
- Block range —
from_blockandto_block - Time range —
from_timestampandto_timestamp - Direct selectors — presented below
Direct Selectors
number[]
Explicit set of block numbers. Mutually exclusive with
block_hashes.string[]
Explicit set of block hashes (hex string, 32 bytes, no
0x prefix). Mutually exclusive with block_numbers.Pagination Controls
number
default:"250"
Recommended default
250; maximum 1000 to stay under ~10 MB responses.string
Opaque pagination cursor supplied by a previous response.
Response Fields
Meta
object
Echo of request metadata applied to the response.
number
EVM chain ID echoed from the request.
object
Pure echo of the window you sent (
from_block/to_block/from_timestamp/to_timestamp); unset bounds are null.object | null
The concrete window the query actually executed against, after resolving the request. For a block range on a time-bucketed endpoint (OHLC/VWAP/VWAP-aggregate/fiat VWAP),
from_timestamp/to_timestamp hold the resolved timestamp window (and from_block/to_block echo your request). For a time range on a block-keyed endpoint, from_block/to_block hold the resolved block range (and the timestamps echo your request). null for selector-only requests (no window). No extra database work is done — these are the values the query already computed.number | null
Resolved/echoed start block of the executed window.
number | null
Resolved/echoed end block of the executed window.
string | null
Resolved/echoed start timestamp (ISO-8601) of the executed window.
string | null
Resolved/echoed end timestamp (ISO-8601) of the executed window.
object
Filters echoed from the request (contract addresses, block numbers, limit).
Data
object[]
Array of block objects.
number
Sequential block height.
string
Keccak-256 hash of the block header (32 bytes, hex string, no
0x prefix).string
Keccak-256 hash of the parent block (32 bytes, hex string, no
0x prefix).string
Merkle root of transaction receipts (32 bytes).
string
Fee recipient / coinbase address (20 bytes).
number
Block gas limit.
string
Extra data payload supplied by the miner (
<= 32 bytes, hex-encoded).number
Block size in bytes.
string
Timestamp when the block was mined.
string
Tracing identifier for the canonical block record (hex string, no
0x prefix).string
Recomputed receipts root for BlockDB integrity checks.
string
Timestamp when the receipts root was (re)computed.
string
Record creation timestamp.
string
Record last update timestamp.
Envelope Fields
string | null
Cursor token for pagination.
number
Number of records returned in
