Get a block by height or hash.

GET

https://xvg-blockbook.nownodes.io/api/v2/block/{blockId}

Authorizations

ApiKeyAuthApiKeyAuth

api-key string

NOWNodes API key passed in the api-key header.

Returns block information with paged transactions. When full transaction details are unavailable, the response can contain only transaction ids.

Blockbook follows the backend main chain. Height lookups always return the current main-chain block. Hash lookups can return a block from another fork only if the backend still keeps it.

Load estimate: Medium; grows mainly with block transaction count and requested page.

Parameters

blockIdinteger | stringrequiredpath

Block identifier. Pass either a block height or a block hash.

pageinteger>= 1query

1-based page index. Values outside safe bounds are sanitized to the closest possible page.

Response

200OK

HTTP 200 Verge Blockbook response for getBlock.

400Bad Request

Domain or validation error. live-verified: JSON body {"error": "..."} (unknown block/transaction, invalid address, malformed broadcast hex, missing filter parameters).

401Unauthorized
