Query Parameters

Some endpoints have optional query parameters which attach additional data in the response. Below is a list of those parameters and their respective responses.

basicReturns validation information about the principal components of a block.
full*Returns all of the validation information about the components of a block, and each of its sub-components (transactions and uncles). This allows one to fully verify a block and each of its component.

*Note: Only applies to endpoints that returns block data

Page

Query parameter: page
Options: 0 - ∞

Some endpoints contain the column names in the metadata instead of a next field to retrieve the URL of the next page of data. Therefore, you will need to use the page parameter to loop through all pages of data returned, which begins at page 0 for all endpoints where this query parameter is available.
