Blocks

In the world of blockchain, blocks are the fundamental building blocks of the ledger. They serve as containers for transactions and other vital data. Understanding their technical intricacies is crucial for harnessing the power of the blockchain. Our documentation will equip you with the knowledge to comprehend block structures, data organization, and the role of blocks in the chain.

Fetching the Blocks from a Specific Blockchain

Now, we dive into the process of obtaining the initial ten blocks from a specific blockchain. This operation is valuable for examining the early stages of a blockchain's history.

blocks = blockchain.list_blocks(
    blockchain_id="SampleBlockchainId",
    limit=10,
    offset=0,
    sort=True,
    trim=True,
)
print("Blockchain blocks:", blocks)

To achieve this, we use the list_blocks() function, providing the specific blockchain_id, limit to set the number of blocks to fetch, offset for pagination, sort to sort the blocks, and trim to retrieve essential block information.

The result, containing the blockchain blocks, is then printed. This process allows you to explore the initial blocks within the specified blockchain, providing insights into its early history and data.

These sections provide a comprehensive guide for working with blocks within the ULedger blockchain, whether it's retrieving blocks from specific blockchains or retrieving list of transactions within a block.
