Parameters
Type Name Description
MirrorRestClient client

Mirror Rest Client to use for the request.

ReadOnlyMemory<byte> blockhash

The block hash bytes — accepts the 48-byte Hedera SHA-384 record-file hash returned by the mirror, or a 32-byte EVM block hash for callers that have one.

CancellationToken cancellationToken

Parameters
Type Name Description
MirrorRestClient client

Mirror Rest Client to use for the request.

CancellationToken cancellationToken

Optional token that cancels the request.

Returns
Type Description
Task<BlockData>

Block information for the latest known block, or null if the mirror node returns no blocks. Request errors are thrown as MirrorException, not reported as null.
