The blocks field allows us to retrieve details about the blocks from the Dash network.

Here is an example that demonstrates how to retrieve blocks data:

query MyQuery {
  bitcoin(network: dash) {
    blocks(options: {limit: 10, desc: "timestamp.iso8601"}) {
      blockHash
      blockSize
      blockSizeBigInt
      blockStrippedSize
      blockVersion
      blockWeight
      chainwork
      difficulty
      height
      timestamp {
        iso8601
      }
    }
  }
}
Filtering Blocks

Blocks can be filtered using the following arguments:

  • any:
  • blockHash: Filter by block hash
  • blockSize: Filter by block size
  • blockStrippedSize: Filter by stripped size of block
  • blockVersion: Filter by version of the block
  • blockWeight: Filter by block weight
  • date: Filter by selecting time in range, list or just date
  • difficulty: Filter by difficulty of the network
  • height: Filter by selecting height of the block
  • options: Filter returned data by ordering, limiting, and constraining it.
  • time: Filter by selecting time in range, list or just time
  • transactionCount: Filter by transction count in the block

The following fields are available for the blocks:

  • any:
  • blockHash: returns hash of block
  • blockSize: returns size of the block
  • blockSizeBigInt: returns size of the block in BigInt format
  • blockStrippedSize: returns stripped size of block
  • blockVersion: returns version of block
  • blockWeight: returns block weight
  • chainwork: returns chainwork for Dash
  • count: returns aggregate count of blocks
  • countBigInt: returns aggregate count of blocks in BigInt format
  • date: returns date when block was mined
  • difficulty: returns difficulty
  • expression: performs arithematic operation on fields in the query and returns value of the operation
  • height: returns height of the block
  • maximum: returns maximum of selected measurable fields of Dash blocks
  • medianTime: returns median timestamp for block
  • minimum: returns maximum of selected measurable fields of Dash blocks
  • timestamp: returns block timestamp
  • transactionCount: returns number of transactions in block
