Schemas 17

The contract defines 17 schemas that model the data the API accepts and returns. The most detailed are blockHeader (13 properties), payloadWithOutputs (6 properties), nodeInfo (5 properties). Each schema is shown below with its type and property counts.

blockHash
Base64Url (without padding) encoded block hash
posixTimestampMicro
integer
Microseconds since POSIX epoch
blockHeight
integer
The height of a block is the number of its predecessors in the block chain
payloadWithOutputs
object
Payload with outputs of a Block including the Merkle roots for transactions and transaction outputs
6 properties 6 required
backupStatus
string
blockWeight
string
The POW weight of a block is the sum of the difficulties of the block and of all of its ancestors. The difficulty of a block is the maximum difficulty divided…
payloadHash
Base64Url (without padding) encoded block payload hash
hostAddress
string
Host address containing IPv4 and port
backupId
string
Textual backup job identifier
blockHeader
object
JSON Encoded Block Header
13 properties 13 required
chainwebVersion
The version of the Chainweb network
nonce
string
PoW nonce of the block. This is computed by the miner such that the block hash is smaller than the target.
sha256Hash
string
Base64Url (without padding) encoded SHA256 hash
target
string
The PoW target of a block represented as the base64Url (without padding) 256 bit little endian encoding of the numerical value.
chainId

nodeInfo
object
General information about a chainweb node
5 properties 5 required
posixTimestamp
integer
Seconds since POSIX epoch
