getBlock RPC Method
Returns identity and transaction information about a confirmed block in the ledger
Parameters #
u64
required
slot number, as u64
integer
object
optional
Configuration object containing the following fields:
commitment string
optional
Default:
finalized
processed
is not supported.
encoding string
optional
Default:
json
encoding format for each returned Transaction
Values: json
jsonParsed
base58
base64
jsonParsed
attempts to use program-specific instruction parsers to return more human-readable and explicit data in thetransaction.message.instructions
list.- If
jsonParsed
is requested but a parser cannot be found, the instruction falls back to regular JSON encoding (accounts
,data
, andprogramIdIndex
fields).
transactionDetails string
optional
Default:
full
level of transaction detail to return
Values: full
accounts
signatures
none
- 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
optional
the max transaction version to return in responses.
- 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.
rewards bool
optional
whether to populate the rewards
array. If parameter not provided, the
default includes rewards.
