## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability skills-onesource-io-f5effde3
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the block header and transaction hashes for Ethereum block 22000000 on mainnet?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need on-chain block-level data — headers, timestamps, miner info, or transaction hashes — for a specific block by integer, hex, or tag (latest/finalized/etc.) across Ethereum mainnet, Base, Avalanche, MegaETH, or Sepolia. Prefer this over general blockchain explorers when you need programmatic, structured block data without web scraping.

## Known failure modes

- Block number does not exist yet (future block) — returns error or empty
- Invalid hex format for block number — 400 bad request
- Unsupported network value — validation error
- Network RPC timeout or node unavailability — 5xx error
- Block tag 'pending' may return null if no pending block exists

## How this service works

Fetch an Ethereum block header and transaction hashes by number, tag, or hex via eth_getBlockByNumber

## Output

Returns the block header fields (number, hash, parentHash, timestamp, miner, gasUsed, gasLimit, difficulty, etc.) and a list of transaction hashes included in the specified block, sourced via eth_getBlockByNumber from a live Ethereum RPC.
