GET
/api/v2/getBlockHeader

Authorization

X-API-Key<token>

API key header of the form X-API-Key: <token>, where <token> is the API key. Requests without a key are limited to 1 RPS. Refer to the authentication guide for details.

In: header

Query Parameters

workchain*integer

The workchain to query. Use -1 for masterchain (validators, system contracts, config) or 0 for basechain (regular accounts and contracts). Most user transactions happen on workchain 0.

Formatint32
shard*string

The shard identifier. Masterchain always uses -9223372036854775808. For basechain, shards split and merge dynamically. Use the shards endpoint to discover current shard configuration.

seqno*integer

Masterchain block sequence number (block height). Used to query state at a specific point in time. If omitted, returns the current state.

Formatint32
root_hash?string

The block's root hash for verification. Together with file_hash, this uniquely and cryptographically identifies a block. Only needed when proof of block identity is required.

file_hash?string

The block's file hash for verification. Together with root_hash, this provides cryptographic proof of block identity. Only needed for trustless verification.
