getBlock

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

This method will use 30 Compute Units.

Parameters

slot integer. The slot number of the block to retrieve encoded as u64 (64-bit unsigned integer) integer.
object optional. Configuration object containing the following fields:
- encoding string
  - The encoding format for account data. It can be one of base58 (slow), base64, base64+zstd or jsonParsed.
- transactionDetails string
  - (default:full) The level of transaction detail to return. It could be full, accounts, signatures, or none.
- rewards boolean
  - (default:false) A boolean flag that indicates whether to include reward information in the block response.
- commitment string. The level of commitment required for the query. The options include:
  - finalized string
    The node will query the most recent block confirmed by the supermajority of the cluster as having reached maximum lockout, meaning the cluster has recognized this block as finalized.
  - confirmed string
    The node will query the most recent block that has been voted on by the supermajority of the cluster.
  - processed string
    The node will query its most recent block. Note that the block may not be complete.
- maxSupportedTransactionVersion boolean
  - The maximum 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 an error.
- legacy boolean. The older transaction format with no additional benefit.
- 0 boolean. The additional support for Address Lookup Tables.

Returns

result object. Null if the account doesn't exist otherwise RpcResponse JSON object with the following fields:
- blockHeight. The number of blocks beneath this block.
- blockTime. The estimated production time, as Unix timestamp (seconds since the Unix epoch). It's null if not available.
- blockhash. The hash of the block encoded as base-58 string.
- parentSlot. The slot index of this block's parent.
- previousBlockhash. The blockhash of this block's parent encoded as base-58 string; if the parent block is not available due to ledger cleanup, the field will return 11111111111111111111111111111111.
- transactions. It is present if full transaction details are requested; an array of JSON objects with the following fields:
  - meta. The transaction status metadata object, which contains additional information about the block and its transactions. The meta object can be null, or it may contain the following fields:
    err. Error code if the transaction failed or null if the transaction succeeds.
    fee. The total fees paid by all transactions in the block encoded as u64 integer.
    innerInstructions. An array of objects representing the inner instructions of all transactions in the block (omitted if inner instruction recording is not enabled). Each object has the following fields:
    logMessages. An array of strings containing any log messages generated by the block's transactions (omitted if inner instruction recording is not enabled).
    postBalances. An array of lamport balances for each account in the block after the transactions were processed.
    postTokenBalances. An array of token balances for each token account in the block after the transactions were processed (omitted if inner instruction recording is not enabled).
    preBalances. An array of lamport balances for each account in the block before the transactions were processed.
    preTokenBalances. An array of token balances for each token account in the block before the transactions were processed (omitted if inner instruction recording is not enabled).
    rewards. An object containing information about the rewards earned by the block's validators (only present if the rewards are requested). It has the following fields:
    pubkey. The public key of the account that received the award encoded as base-58 string.
    lamports. The number of reward lamports credited or debited by the account.
    postBalance. The account balance in lamports after the reward was applied.
    rewardType. The type of reward. It could be fee, rent, voting, staking.
    commission. The vote account commission when the reward was credited, only present for voting and staking rewards.
    status. The status of the transaction. It returns Ok if the transaction was successful and Err if the transaction failed with TransactionError.
    transaction. The transaction object. It could be either JSON format or encoded binary data, depending on the encoding parameter. It contains the following fields:
    message. An array of transactions included in the block.
    accountKeys. An array of public keys associated with the accounts that were accessed during the execution of transactions in the block.
    pubkey. The public key associated with the block producer who created the block.
    signer. It is used to sign transactions in the block. It can also be used to identify the signers involved in the block's transactions and to verify the authenticity of the signatures.
    source. It is used to identify the accounts that provided the funds for the block's transactions.
    writable. A boolean value that indicates whether the accounts associated with the given public keys were modified by the transactions or not.
    instructions. An array of instructions that were executed in the block's transactions.
    parsed. An array of parsed instructions that were executed in the block's transactions.
    info. An array of information objects that provide additional details about the transactions in the block.
    clockSysvar. It provides information about the current state of the Solana blockchain.
    slotHashesSysvar. It provides information about the hashes of recent slots.
    vote. An array of vote accounts that were involved in the block's transactions.
    hash. The hash of the block. It can be used to uniquely identify the block and to verify the authenticity of the block's contents.
    slots. An array of slot numbers that correspond to the transactions in the block.
    timestamp. The Unix timestamp of the block's creation.
    voteAccount. A vote account to identify the validator who produced the block and to verify the validity of their vote.
    voteAuthority. An authority associated with the vote account used to produce the block.
    type. The type of the block. It can be used to differentiate between regular blocks and special blocks such as snapshot or transaction confirmation blocks.
    program. The data associated with the program that was executed in the block's transactions.
    programId. The public key of the program that was executed in the block's transactions.
    stackHeight. The current depth of the execution stack.
    recentBlockhash. The recent block hash for the account's cluster.
    signatures. The list of transaction signatures contained within a particular block.
    version. The transaction version. It's undefined if maxSupportedTransactionVersion is not set in the requested parameters.
