getblockstats

How to use it

// yarn add @tatumio/tatum

import { TatumSDK, ZCash, Network } from '@tatumio/tatum'

const tatum = await TatumSDK.init<ZCash>({ network: Network.ZCASH })

const result = await tatum.rpc.getBlockStats(
  '0000000000000000001b4fedbfb3672963c37f965686c2bf6350e32e77f9941f',
)

await tatum.destroy() // Destroy Tatum SDK - needed for stopping background jobs

Overview

getblockstats is a method that returns various statistics about a specified block. This method is useful for obtaining detailed information about a block, including the number of transactions, transaction volume, fees, and other related data. The results can be used for data analysis, monitoring, and understanding the state of the network at a specific block height.

Parameters

• hash_or_height: The block hash or block height for which the statistics are requested. This parameter can be either a string (block hash) or an integer (block height).

  Example (block hash): "0000000000000000000f92fb968a8d1a2a9c2039e6e99f8c7a0ee3421a44a7d6"

  Example (block height): 685230

• stats (optional): An array of strings indicating the statistics to be included in the response. If not specified, all available statistics will be returned.

  Example: ["txs", "avgfee"]

Return Object

The return object is a JSON object containing the requested statistics as key-value pairs. The available statistics are:

• avgfee: The average transaction fee in satoshis.
• avgfeerate: The average fee rate in satoshis per virtual byte.
• avgtxsize: The average transaction size in bytes.
• blockhash: The hash of the block.
• height: The height of the block in the block chain.
• ins: The total number of inputs in all transactions.
• maxfee: The maximum transaction fee in satoshis.
• maxfeerate: The maximum fee rate in satoshis per virtual byte.
• maxtxsize: The maximum transaction size in bytes.
• medianfee: The median transaction fee in satoshis.
• mediantime: The median time for the block in UNIX timestamp format.
• mediantxsize: The median transaction size in bytes.
• minfee: The minimum transaction fee in satoshis.
• minfeerate: The minimum fee rate in satoshis per virtual byte.
• mintxsize: The minimum transaction size in bytes.
• outs: The total number of outputs in all transactions.
• subsidy: The block reward in satoshis.
• swtotal_size: The total size of all SegWit transactions in bytes.
• swtotal_weight: The total weight of all SegWit transactions.
• swtxs: The total number of SegWit transactions.
• time: The block timestamp in UNIX format.
• total_size: The total size of all transactions in bytes.
• total_weight: The total weight of all transactions.
• totalfee: The total transaction fees in satoshis.
• txs: The total number of transactions in the block.
• utxo_increase: The increase in the number of unspent transaction outputs.
• utxo_size_inc: The increase in the size of the UTXO set.
