Lookup block

GET
/api/v2/lookupBlock

Finds a block by position or time. Specify workchain and shard, then provide either: seqno (exact block number), lt (find block containing this logical time), or unixtime (find block closest to this timestamp). Returns the full block ID including hashes needed for verification.

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

Query state at a specific block height. If omitted, returns the current state. Use this to look up historical data at a specific point in time.

Formatint32
lt?string

Logical time of a block

unixtime?integer

UNIX timestamp of a block
