Returns information about a block by hash.

Parameters

• DATA, 32 Bytes - Hash of a block.

• Boolean - If true it returns the full transaction objects, if false it returns only the hashes of the transactions.

params: [

    true
]

Returns

Object - A block object with the following fields, or null when no block was found:

• size: QUANTITY - integer the size of this block in bytes.

• gasLimit: QUANTITY - the maximum gas allowed in this block.

• gasUsed: QUANTITY - the total used gas by all transactions in this block.

• timestamp: QUANTITY - the unix timestamp for when the block was collated.

• transactions: Array - Array of transaction objects, or 32 Bytes transaction hashes depending on the last given parameter.
