getblock

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

If verbosity is 1, returns an Object with information about block β€˜hash’.

If verbosity is 2, returns an Object with information about block β€˜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)
