Parameters

  • QUANTITY|TAG - Integer of a block number, or the string "earliest", "latest" or "pending", as in the default block parameter.
  • Boolean - If true it returns the full transaction objects, if false only the hashes of the transactions.
params: ["0x1b4", true];

Returns

Object - A block object with the following fields, or null when no block was found:
