# Block / Chunk

### Block details[​](https://docs.near.org/api/rpc/block-chunk#block-details) <a href="#block-details" id="block-details"></a>

> Queries network and returns block for given height or hash. You can also use `finality` param to return latest block details.

**Note**: You may choose to search by a specific block *or* finality, you can not choose both.

* method: `block`
* params:
  * `finality` *OR* `block_id`

`finality` example:

* JSON
* JavaScript
* HTTPie

```

  "method": "block",
  "params": {
    "finality": "final"
  }
}
```

`[block_id]`

* JSON

**What Could Go Wrong??**[**​**](https://docs.near.org/api/rpc/block-chunk#what-could-go-wrong)

When API request fails, RPC server returns a structured error response with a limited number of well-defined error variants, so client code can exhaustively handle all the possible error cases. Our JSON-RPC errors follow [verror](https://github.com/joyent/node-verror) convention for structuring the error response:

```
{
    "error": {
        "name": <ERROR_TYPE>,
        "cause": {
            "info": {..},
            "name": <ERROR_CAUSE>
        },
        "code": -32000,
        "data": String,
        "message": "Server error",
    },
    "id": "dontcare",
    "jsonrpc": "2.0"
}
```

> **Heads up**
>
> The fields `code`, `data`, and `message` in the structure above are considered legacy ones and might be deprecated in the future. Please, don't rely on them.

Here is the exhaustive list of the error variants that can be returned by `block` method:

<table data-header-hidden data-full-width="true"><thead><tr><th></th><th></th><th></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>ERROR_TYPE<br><code>error.name</code></td><td>ERROR_CAUSE<br><code>error.cause.name</code></td><td>Reason</td><td>Solution</td></tr><tr><td>HANDLER_ERROR</td><td>UNKNOWN_BLOCK</td><td>The requested block has not been produced yet or it has been garbage-collected (cleaned up to save space on the RPC node)</td><td><ul><li>Check that the requested block is legit</li><li>If the block had been produced more than 5 epochs ago, try to send your request to an archival node</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td></td><td>NOT_SYNCED_YET</td><td><ul><li>The node is still syncing and the requested block is not in the database yet</li></ul></td><td><p></p><ul><li>Wait until the node finish syncing</li><li>Send a request to a different node which is synced</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td>REQUEST_VALIDATION_ERROR</td><td>PARSE_ERROR</td><td>Passed arguments can't be parsed by JSON RPC server (missing arguments, wrong format, etc.)</td><td><ul><li>Check the arguments passed and pass the correct ones</li><li>Check <code>error.cause.info</code> for more details</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td>INTERNAL_ERROR</td><td>INTERNAL_ERROR</td><td>Something went wrong with the node itself or overloaded</td><td><ul><li>Try again later</li><li>Send a request to a different node</li><li>Check <code>error.cause.info</code> for more details</li></ul></td></tr></tbody></table>

**What Could Go Wrong??**[**​**](https://docs.near.org/api/rpc/block-chunk#what-could-go-wrong-1)

When API request fails, RPC server returns a structured error response with a limited number of well-defined error variants, so client code can exhaustively handle all the possible error cases. Our JSON-RPC errors follow [verror](https://github.com/joyent/node-verror) convention for structuring the error response:

```
{
    "error": {
        "name": <ERROR_TYPE>,
        "cause": {
            "info": {..},
            "name": <ERROR_CAUSE>
        },
        "code": -32000,
        "data": String,
        "message": "Server error",
    },
    "id": "dontcare",
    "jsonrpc": "2.0"
}
```

> **Heads up**
>
> The fields `code`, `data`, and `message` in the structure above are considered legacy ones and might be deprecated in the future. Please, don't rely on them.

Here is the exhaustive list of the error variants that can be returned by `EXPERIMENTAL_changes_in_block` method:

### Chunk Details[​](https://docs.near.org/api/rpc/block-chunk#chunk-details) <a href="#chunk-details" id="chunk-details"></a>

> Returns details of a specific chunk. You can run a block details query to get a valid chunk hash.

* method: `chunk`
* params:
  * `chunk_id` *OR* `block_id`, `shard_id`

`chunk_id` example:

* JSON
* JavaScript
* HTTPie

```

ERROR_TYPE `error.name`	ERROR_CAUSE `error.cause.name`	Reason	Solution
HANDLER_ERROR	UNKNOWN_BLOCK	The requested block has not been produced yet or it has been garbage-collected (cleaned up to save space on the RPC node)	Check that the requested block is legit If the block had been produced more than 5 epochs ago, try to send your request to an archival node
	NOT_SYNCED_YET	The node is still syncing and the requested block is not in the database yet	Wait until the node finish syncing Send a request to a different node which is synced
REQUEST_VALIDATION_ERROR	PARSE_ERROR	Passed arguments can't be parsed by JSON RPC server (missing arguments, wrong format, etc.)	Check the arguments passed and pass the correct ones Check `error.cause.info` for more details
INTERNAL_ERROR	INTERNAL_ERROR	Something went wrong with the node itself or overloaded	Try again later Send a request to a different node Check `error.cause.info` for more details
