eth_getBlockByNumber

Returns information about a block by its block number.

Parameters

#	Type	Description
1	`string`	Block number as a hex string, or a block tag (`"latest"`, `"earliest"`, `"pending"`).
2	`bool`	If `true`, returns full transaction objects; if `false`, returns only transaction hashes.

Returns

object | null -- A block object, or null if no block was found. The object contains:

`transactionsRoot`	`string`	Root of the transaction trie
`stateRoot`	`string`	Root of the state trie
`receiptsRoot`	`string`	Root of the receipts trie
`miner`	`string`	Address of the block proposer
`difficulty`	`string`	Always `"0x0"` on PoS
`totalDifficulty`	`string`	Cumulative difficulty
`extraData`	`string`	Extra data field
`size`	`string`	Block size in bytes (hex)
`gasLimit`	`string`	Maximum gas allowed in the block (hex)
`gasUsed`	`string`	Total gas used by all transactions (hex)
`timestamp`	`string`	Unix timestamp of the block (hex)
`transactions`	`array`	Transaction hashes or full transaction objects
`uncles`	`array`	Always empty on PoS
`baseFeePerGas`	`string`	Base fee per gas (EIP-1559, hex)

Example

curl -s -X POST https://rpc.pulsechain.box \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "eth_getBlockByNumber",
    "params": ["0x100000", false],
    "id": 1
  }'

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "result": {
    "number": "0x100000",
    "hash": "0x...",
    "parentHash": "0x...",
    "timestamp": "0x...",
    "gasLimit": "0x1c9c380",
    "gasUsed": "0x...",
    "miner": "0x...",
    "baseFeePerGas": "0x...",
    "transactions": [],
    "..."
  }
}

Notes

Set the second parameter to false to return only transaction hashes, which is significantly faster and uses less bandwidth for blocks with many transactions.
Set it to true to get full transaction objects including from, to, value, input, gas, etc.
Returns null for block numbers that do not exist yet.
The block tag "latest" returns the most recently mined block, "earliest" returns the genesis block (block 0), and "pending" returns the pending block being assembled.
Block 0x100000 (1,048,576 in decimal) is used in the example as a known historical block on PulseChain.

eth_getStorageAt

Returns the value stored at a specific storage position of a contract. This allows direct inspection of a contract's internal state without calling a view function.

eth_getBlockByHash

Returns information about a block by its hash.
