It accepts either the block's hash or its height as an identifier to fetch the block data. This is useful for blockchain analysts, developers, or enthusiasts who want to obtain comprehensive block details such as transactions, timestamps, and block metadata.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve block information by providing the block hash to analyze its transactions and metadata.
  2. Fetch block details using the block height to monitor blockchain activity at a specific block number.

Troubleshooting
