getBlock

Retrieves a block by height or by hash.

Queries the connected Aleo node, so it hits the network. Returns the full block: header, authority, ratifications, solutions, and confirmed transactions. For only a block's transactions, getBlockTransactions is the lighter call.

Usage​

import { createPublicClient, http } from '@provablehq/veil-core'

const client = createPublicClient({
  transport: http('https://api.provable.com/v2', { network: 'mainnet' }),
})

const block = await client.getBlock({ height: 100 })
// { block_hash: 'ab1...', previous_hash: 'ab1...', header: { ... }, transactions: [ ... ], ... }

Returns​

Block

The full block at the given height or hash. See Block for the field-by-field shape.

Parameters​

height​

  • Type: number
  • Optional

Block height (u32) to fetch. Ignored when hash is set.

hash​

  • Type: string
  • Optional

Block hash (ab1...) to fetch. Takes precedence over height when both are given.
