**Parameters:**

An array of strings

**String** - the batch number (in hex) or batch tag

`latest` - This is the most recent batch in the canonical chain observed by the client. This batch may be re-orged out of the canonical chain even under healthy/normal conditions.

`earliest` - This is the lowest-numbered batch the client has available. Intuitively, you can think of this as the first batch created.
