# Ethereum eth_getUncleByBlockNumberAndIndex RPC method

Ethereum API method that returns information about an uncle of a block by number and uncle index position.

Parameters:

  • quantity or tag — the block number, encoded as hexadecimal starting with 0x.
  • index — the uncle index position.

Returns:

  • object — the block object, or null when no block was found:
    • number — the block number. null when it is a pending block.
    • hash — the hash of the block. null when it is a pending block.
    • parentHash — the hash of the parent block.
    • nonce — the hash of the generated proof-of-work. null when it is a pending block.
    • sha3Uncles — SHA-3 of the uncles data in the block.
    • logsBloom — the bloom filter for the logs of the block. null when it is a pending block.
    • transactionsRoot — the root of the transaction trie of the block.
    • stateRoot — the root of the final state trie of the block.
    • receiptsRoot — the root of the receipts trie of the block.
    • miner — the address of the beneficiary to whom the mining rewards were given.
    • difficulty — the integer of the difficulty for this block.
    • totalDifficulty — the integer of the total difficulty of the chain until this block.
    • extraData — the extra data field of this block.
    • size — the integer of the size of this block in bytes.
    • gasLimit — the maximum gas allowed in this block.
    • gasUsed — the total used gas by all transactions in this block.
    • timestamp — the Unix timestamp for when the block was collated.
    • transactions — the array of transaction objects, or 32 Bytes transaction hashes depending on the last given parameter.
    • uncles — the array of uncle hashes.

Example:

Information

Web3.js requires the block number identifier to be an integer not encoded as hexadecimal.

  • web3.js
  • web3.py
  • eth.rb
  • cURL 
const Web3 = require("web3");
const node_url = "CHAINSTACK_NODE_URL";
const web3 = new Web3(node_url);
web3.eth.getUncle("12911679", 0, (err, uncle) => {
    console.log(uncle)
})
