getBlock

Returns identity and transaction information about a confirmed block in the ledger

Parameters

Slot <u64>

  • slot number, as u64 integer

Configuration <object>

  • Configuration object containing the following fields:

    • encoding: <string> - encoding format for each returned Transaction

      ["json", "jsonParsed", "base58", "base64"]
      Details
      • jsonParsed attempts to use program-specific instruction parsers to return more human-readable and explicit data in the transaction.message.instructions list. - If jsonParsed is requested but a parser cannot be found, the instruction falls back to regular JSON encoding (accounts, data, and programIdIndex fields).
    • transactionDetails: <string> - level of transaction detail to return

      ["full", "accounts", "signatures", "none"]
      Details
      • If accounts are requested, transaction details only include signatures and an annotated list of accounts in each transaction. - Transaction metadata is limited to only: fee, err, pre_balances, post_balances, pre_token_balances, and post_token_balances.
    • maxSupportedTransactionVersion: <number> - the max transaction version to return in responses

      Details
      • If the requested block contains a transaction with a higher version, an error will be returned. - If this parameter is omitted, only legacy transactions will be returned, and a block containing any versioned transaction will prompt the error.

Result

The result field will be an object with the following fields:

  • <null> - if specified block is not confirmed
  • <object> - if block is confirmed, an object with the following fields:
    • blockhash: <string> - the blockhash of this block, as base-58 encoded string
    • previousBlockhash: <string> - the blockhash of this block's parent, as base-58 encoded string; if the parent block is not available due to ledger cleanup, this field will return "11111111111111111111111111111111"
    • parentSlot: <u64> - the slot index of this block's parent
    • transactions: <array> - present if "full" transaction details are requested; an array of JSON objects containing:
      • transaction: <object|[string,encoding]> - Transaction object, either in JSON format or encoded binary data, depending on encoding parameter
      • meta: <object> - transaction status metadata object, containing null or:
        • err: <object|null> - Error if transaction failed, null if transaction succeeded. TransactionError definitions
        • fee: <u64> - fee this transaction was charged, as u64 integer
        • preBalances: <array> - array of u64 account balances from before the transaction was processed
        • postBalances: <array> - array of u64 account balances after the transaction was processed
        • innerInstructions: <array|null> - List of inner instructions or null if inner instruction recording was not enabled during this transaction
        • preTokenBalances: <array|undefined> - List of token balances from before the transaction was processed or omitted if token balance recording was not yet enabled during this transaction
        • postTokenBalances: <array|undefined> - List of token balances from after the transaction was processed or omitted if token balance recording was not yet enabled during this transaction
        • logMessages: <array|null> - array of string log messages or null if log message recording was not enabled during this transaction
        • DEPRECATED: status: <object> - Transaction status
          • "Ok": <null> - Transaction was successful
          • "Err": <ERR> - Transaction failed with TransactionError
        • loadedAddresses: <object|undefined> - Transaction addresses loaded from address lookup tables. Undefined if maxSupportedTransactionVersion is not set in request params, or if jsonParsed encoding is set in request params.
          • writable: <array[string]> - Ordered list of base-58 encoded addresses for writable loaded accounts
          • readonly: <array[string]> - Ordered list of base-58 encoded addresses for readonly loaded accounts
        • returnData: <object|undefined> - the most-recent return data generated by an instruction in the transaction, with the following fields:
          • programId: <string> - the program that generated the return data, as base-58 encoded Pubkey
          • data: <[string, encoding]> - the return data itself, as base-64 encoded binary data
        • computeUnitsConsumed: <u64|undefined> - number of compute units consumed by the transaction
      • version: <"legacy"|number|undefined> - Transaction version. Undefined if maxSupportedTransactionVersion is not set in request params.
    • signatures: <array> - present if "signatures" are requested for transaction details; an array of signatures strings, corresponding to the transaction order in the block
    • blockTime: <i64|null> - estimated production time, as Unix timestamp ( milliseconds since the Unix epoch). null if not available
    • blockHeight: <u64|null> - the number of blocks beneath this block
