getblock

getblock "blockhash" ( verbosity )

If verbosity is 0, returns a string that is serialized, hex-encoded data for block ‘hash’.

If verbosity is 1, returns an Object with information about block ‘hash’.

If verbosity is 2, returns an Object with information about block ‘hash’ and information about each transaction.

Argument #1 – blockhash

Type: string, required

The block hash

Argument #2 – verbosity

Type: numeric, optional, default=1

0 for hex-encoded data, 1 for a json object, and 2 for json object with transaction data

Result (for verbosity = 0)

Name	Type	Description
hex	string	A string that is serialized, hex-encoded data for block ‘hash’
