Path Parameters

blockId

string

REQUIRED

The block identifier, as the block height or block hash.

Query Parameters

eventDocs

boolean

When set to true, every event will have an extra docs property with a string of the events documentation.

extrinsicDocs

boolean

When set to true, every extrinsic will have an extra docs property with a string of the extrinsics documentation.

noFees

boolean

When set to true, the fee won't be calculated for the extrinsics.

finalizedKey

boolean

When set to false, this will override the chain-config, and omit the finalized key in the response. This can increase performance slightly by avoiding an additional RPC call to the node.

decodedXcmMsgs

boolean

When set to true, this will show the decoded XCM messages within the extrinsics of the requested block.

paraId

string

When it is set, this will return only the decoded XCM messages for the specified origin Parachain Id (originParaId). To activate this functionality, ensure that the decodedXcmMsgs parameter is set to true.
