getblock - Zcash 5.5.0 RPC

getblock "hash|height" ( verbosity )

If verbosity is 0, returns a string that is serialized, hex-encoded data for the block.
If verbosity is 1, returns an Object with information about the block.
If verbosity is 2, returns an Object with information about the block and information about each transaction. 

Arguments:
1. "hash|height"          (string, required) The block hash or height. Height can be negative where -1 is the last known valid block
2. verbosity              (numeric, optional, default=1) 0 for hex encoded data, 1 for a json object, and 2 for json object with transaction data

Result (for verbosity = 0):
"data"             (string) A string that is serialized, hex-encoded data for the block.

Result (for verbosity = 1):
{
  "hash" : "hash",       (string) the block hash (same as provided hash)
  "confirmations" : n,   (numeric) The number of confirmations, or -1 if the block is not on the main chain
  "size" : n,            (numeric) The block size
  "height" : n,          (numeric) The block height or index (same as provided height)
  "version" : n,         (numeric) The block version
  "merkleroot" : "xxxx", (string) The merkle root
  "finalsaplingroot" : "xxxx", (string) The root of the Sapling commitment tree after applying this block
  "finalorchardroot" : "xxxx", (string, optional) The root of the Orchard commitment tree after
                               applying this block. Omitted for blocks prior to NU5 activation. This
                               will be the null hash if this block has never been connected to a
                               main chain.
                               NB: The serialized representation of this field returned by this method
                                   was byte-flipped relative to its representation in the `getrawtransaction`
                                   output in prior releases up to and including v5.2.0. This has now been
                                   rectified.
  "tx" : [               (array of string) The transaction ids
     "transactionid"     (string) The transaction id

      "chainValueZat": xxxxxx,   (numeric, optional) total chain supply after this block, in zatoshis
      "valueDelta": xxxxxx,      (numeric, optional) change to the chain supply produced by this block, in ZEC
      "valueDeltaZat": xxxxxx,   (numeric, optional) change to the chain supply produced by this block, in zatoshis
  }
  "valuePools": [            (array) information about each value pool
      {
          "id": "xxxx",            (string) name of the pool
          "monitored": xx,           (boolean) true if the pool is being monitored

Result (for verbosity = 2):
{
  ...,                     Same output as verbosity = 1.
