# Get blocks by height

Transactions are limited by max default transactions size. If not all transactions are present, the user will need to query for the rest of the transactions via the get transactions API.

If the block is pruned, it will return a 410.

#### **Path Parameters:**

**block\_height** integer required

Block height to lookup. Starts at 0

#### Query Parameters：

**with\_transactions** boolean

If set to true, include all transactions in the block. If not provided, no transactions will be retrieved

#### **Response Header:**

**X-APTOS-BLOCK-HEIGHT** integer 

Current block height of the chain

**X-APTOS-CHAIN-ID** integer 

Chain ID of the current chain

**X-APTOS-EPOCH** integer 

Current epoch of the chain

**X-APTOS-LEDGER-OLDEST-VERSION** integer 

Oldest non-pruned ledger version of the chain

**X-APTOS-LEDGER-TIMESTAMPUSEC** integer 

Current timestamp of the chain

**X-APTOS-LEDGER-VERSION** integer 

Current ledger version of the chain

**X-APTOS-OLDEST-BLOCK-HEIGHT** integer 

Oldest non-pruned block height of the chain

#### **Response Body:**

A Block with or without transactions

**block\_height** string\<uint64>

A string containing a 64-bit unsigned integer.

**block\_hash** string&#x20;

**block\_timestamp** string\<uint64>

A string containing a 64-bit unsigned integer.

**first\_version** string\<uint64>

A string containing a 64-bit unsigned integer.

**last\_version** string\<uint64>

A string containing a 64-bit unsigned integer.

**transactions** array

```json
// Request
curl -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' https://aptos.blockpi.network/aptos/v1/your_api_key/v1/blocks/by_height/3617300?with_transactions=true

// Result
{
    "block_height": "3617300",
    "block_hash": "0x476a4ef5f0860e246cc11be465a2af1abac579feecaa9b6577d89b86a087bf8c",

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.blockpi.io/build/api-reference/aptos/get-blocks-by-height.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
