A JSON array of recent Ethereum block objects from the Blockchain.com explorer, including block metadata such as block height, hash, timestamp, and transaction count, up to a maximum of 20 blocks per request.
Example use cases
Monitor recent Ethereum block production
“Show me the last 15 Ethereum blocks so I can check if block production is running on schedule and see their timestamps.”
On-chain analytics dashboard feed
“Fetch the 20 most recent ETH blocks from the blockchain explorer so I can update my analytics dashboard with the latest chain data.”
Detect chain activity spike
“Grab the last 5 Ethereum blocks for me so I can quickly check if there's unusual activity or a sudden change in block times.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.blockchain.info/explorer-gateway-kt/x402/eth/blocks?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a quick, paginated list of recent Ethereum blocks from a well-known blockchain explorer (Blockchain.com) without running your own node. Ideal for dashboards, monitoring agents, or analytics pipelines that need recent on-chain block data without complex RPC setup. Prefer this over raw node RPC if you want a simple REST interface with predictable JSON output.
Side effects
- limit value above 20 is silently capped at 20
- limit of 0 is treated as 1, not an empty result
- invalid network identifier returns an error or empty response
- missing network parameter may default or fail
- rate limiting may occur under high frequency calls
- payment failure (x402 protocol) blocks the request
