getBlock()

Retrieving a blockchain block is not a transaction; it's simply a request executed by a single node. Sometimes, it might be necessary to send the same request multiple times to obtain a right copy.

Method Signature

def getBlock(self, blockchain, number)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
blockchain	string or hexadecimal	Blockchain address
number	string	The number of the block you're looking for

Example

from circular_protocol_api import CircularProtocolAPI

blockhain = 0x8a20baa40c45dc5055aeb26197c203e576ef389d9acb171bd62da11dc5ad72b2

circular = CircularProtocolAPI()
result = circular.getBlock(blockchain, "29")
