# debug_traceBlockByNumber

Traces every transaction in the block specified by block number and returns the tracer result for each one.

This method will use `80` [Compute Units](/nodeapi/about/billing).

***

## **Parameters**

`blockNumber` - String - <span style={{color: "red"}}>Required</span>  - The block number as a string in hexadecimal format.

`object` - Object - <span style={{color: "red"}}>Required</span>  - The tracer object with the following fields:

* `tracer` - String - The type of tracer, options are: `callTracer` ,`prestateTracer` or `flatCallTracer`.
  * `callTracer` - String - The callTracer keeps track of all call frames, including depth - calls, that are made during a transaction.
  * `prestateTracer` - String - The prestateTracer replays the transaction and tracks every part of state that occurred during the transaction.
  * `flatCallTracer` - String - The flatCallTracer is a specific type of tracer that provides a flattened view of all calls made during transaction execution. It offers a simplified output compared to the standard callTracer, making it easier to analyze complex transactions.

## **Returns**

`result` - An array of transactions for that block, each containing:

* `txHash` - The transaction hash of the transaction
* `from` - The address the transaction is sent from.
* `gas` - The integer of the gas provided for the transaction execution.
* `gasUsed` - The integer of the gas used.
* `to` - The address the transaction is directed to.
* `input` - The data given at the time of input.
* `value` - The integer of the value sent with this transaction.
* `type` - The type of call.
