How this service works
Paid AI-agent access to Blockchain.com Explorer API
Output
Returns a time-series dataset of average Bitcoin block sizes, including timestamps and values. In JSON mode, may include chart metadata such as name, description, and units. In CSV mode, returns raw two-column data (timestamp, value). The rolling average window and timespan control data granularity and coverage.
Example use cases
Bitcoin network capacity research
“Show me the average Bitcoin block size trend over the last 3 years with a 24-hour rolling average, formatted as JSON so I can analyze capacity utilization.”
Weekly block size snapshot for a report
“Get me average Bitcoin block size data for the past 7 days from Blockchain.com with an 8-hour rolling average in CSV format for my weekly report.”
Monitoring block size growth over time
“I want to track how Bitcoin average block sizes have grown over the last year — pull the chart data from Blockchain.com with a 24-hour rolling average and include metadata.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.blockchain.info/explorer-gateway-kt/x402/charts/avg-block-size?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need historical Bitcoin average block size time-series data from Blockchain.com's Explorer, especially when you need configurable time windows, rolling averages, or both JSON and CSV output formats. Prefer this over generic blockchain APIs when you specifically need block size metrics (not transaction counts, fees, or price data) and when you need fine-grained control over the rolling average window.
Side effects
- Invalid timespan format returns a 400 error
- Unsupported rollingAverage value may return an error or unexpected results
- Payment not processed (402) if x402 payment header is missing or insufficient
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in a short period
- Network timeouts for very large timespans with sampling disabled
