How to get blocks

Prerequisites​

Before getting started, make sure you have the following ready:

  • Node v.14+

In order to get blocks, Blocklens provides you a getBlocks endpoint to do so.

import Blocklens from "blocklens-sdk";

const blocklens = new Blocklens();
blocklens.init({ apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY" });

const runApis = async () => {
  const response = await blocklens.APTOS_MAINNET.getBlocks();
  console.log(response);
};

runApis();

Step 3: Run the script​

ts-node index.ts
