Ethereum RPC
Overview
The eth_getBlockTransactionCountByHash is an Ethereum RPC method used to fetch the number of transactions in a block by the block's hash. It is useful when you want to know the total number of transactions included in a specific block and don't want to retrieve the entire block data. This method can be used in various scenarios, such as monitoring the network activity or estimating transaction confirmation times.
Parameters
This method requires a single parameter:
blockHash: The hash of the target block for which the transaction count will be retrieved. It should be a valid 32-byte hex string.
- Example:
blockHash:"0x2907402477167193008a0cbbaa8073278c48e8b97bf9ed1a2101f6ad2130dbaf"
Returns
The method returns a single value:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| transactionCount | The total number of transactions included in the specified block. It is returned as a hexadecimal value. |
