Block

The Block object represents a single blockchain block and contains all data pertaining to the block and its transactions.

Schema Definition

type Block {
  number: UInt64!
  hash: String!
  confirmations: UInt64!
  timestamp: UInt64!
  transactionCount: Int!
  gasUsed: UInt64!
  gasLimit: UInt64!
  size: UInt64!
  difficulty: UInt256!
  transactions(

}

Fields

Field	Type	Description
number	UInt64! non-null scalar	The sequential block number in the blockchain.
hash	String! non-null scalar	The unique cryptographic hash identifier for this block.
confirmations	UInt64! non-null scalar	The number of blocks confirmed after this block.
timestamp	UInt64! non-null scalar	Unix timestamp of when the block was mined.
transactionCount	Int! non-null scalar	Total number of transactions contained in this block.
gasUsed	UInt64! non-null scalar	Total gas consumed by all transactions in the block.
gasLimit	UInt64! non-null scalar	Maximum gas allowed for transactions in this block.
size	UInt64! non-null scalar	The block size in bytes.
difficulty	UInt256! non-null scalar	Mining difficulty level for this block.
transactions	BlockTransactionList! non-null object	An array of BlockTransaction objects representing transactions included in this block.

Arguments

These arguments control how transactions are retrieved when querying the transactions field which returns a BlockTransactionList object.

Argument	Type	Description
first	Int = 10 scalar	Maximum number of transactions to retrieve per page. Maximum value is 100.
skip	Int = 0 scalar	Number of transactions to bypass before assembling the page. Set to the first value from the previous page for offset pagination.
where	BlockTransactionFilter input	Specifies subsets of transaction data within a block to be retrieved.
orderBy	TransactionOrderBy enum	Sets how the list of transactions is ordered.
orderDirection	Ordering enum	Sets the direction in which the list of transactions is ordered.
