Response

JSON

Example

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "result": {
    "number": "0x51e650e"
  }
}

eth_getBlockByNumber returns an EVM-shaped block object or null. The block selector is either an EVM hex quantity or the literal latest; the second parameter chooses whether transactions are requested in their full form.

Use this method when an EVM-compatible client needs block data. The native wallet alternative getblockbynum accepts a decimal JSON integer and returns a native Tron wallet object. Historical block availability is a per-node capability, not a pool-wide archive guarantee.

Parameters

JSON-RPC params is [block, fullTransactions].

blockstringrequired

EVM hex quantity or the literal latest.

fullTransactionsbooleanrequired

Selects the representation of transactions in the returned block.

Response

Response fields

Field	Type	Description
`jsonrpc`	string	JSON-RPC protocol version.
`id`	number	Correlates the response with the request.
`result`	object or null	EVM block object, or `null` when unavailable.
`result.number`	string	Block number shown in the captured example as a hex quantity.

Other block-object fields are intentionally not enumerated: the result schema permits implementation-defined properties and the fixture only guarantees number.

Errors

See Tron errors for the shared envelope.

Code	Meaning	When it happens
`-32602`	Invalid params	The selector is not a quantity or `latest`, or the flag is not boolean.
`-32601`	Method not found	The method is outside the published catalog.
`401`	Unauthorized	The API key is missing or invalid.
`429`	Rate limited	The `tron_read_rpc` budget is exceeded.

Examples

JavaScript

const response = await fetch("https://triport.io/rpc/tron", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "x-token": process.env.TRIPORT_API_KEY, "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({ jsonrpc: "2.0", id: 1, method: "eth_getBlockByNumber", params: ["latest", false] }),
});
const { result: block } = await response.json();

Notes

Unlike current-state methods, this method accepts a hexadecimal block quantity.
An unavailable historical block is represented by null in the result schema.
There is no WebSocket block stream on the Tron product surface.
