Lookup Block Info

Retrieve detailed block information from the BSV blockchain.

API

Uses WhatsOnChain for complete block data (size, txcount, difficulty, previousblockhash). JungleBus /v1/block_header/get/{hash} only provides header fields - use that directly if you only need hash, height, time, merkleroot.

When to Use

Get block data by height
Get block data by hash
View block statistics (size, tx count, etc.)

# Lookup by height
bun run skills/lookup-block-info/scripts/lookup.ts --height 800000

# Lookup by hash
bun run skills/lookup-block-info/scripts/lookup.ts --hash 00000000000000000320e...
