eth_getBlockTransactionCountByHash code examples

const { Web3 } = require("web3");
const NODE_URL = "CHAINSTACK_NODE_URL";
const web3 = new Web3(NODE_URL);

async function getTransactionsCount(blockHash) {
  const count = await web3.eth.getBlockTransactionCount(blockHash)
  console.log(count);
}

getTransactionsCount('0x98ea4f9e6f68b193971fb693fbc1949c6df6d59647bbb99ab67557a6781ed4fe')

const ethers = require('ethers');
const NODE_URL = "CHAINSTACK_NODE_URL";
const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider(NODE_URL);

const getTransactionsCount = async (blockHash) => {
    const count = await provider.send("eth_getBlockTransactionCountByHash", [blockHash]);
    console.log(count);
   };

   getTransactionsCount('0x98ea4f9e6f68b193971fb693fbc1949c6df6d59647bbb99ab67557a6781ed4fe');

from web3 import Web3  
node_url = "CHAINSTACK_NODE_URL" 

web3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider(node_url)) 
print(web3.eth.get_block_transaction_count("0x98ea4f9e6f68b193971fb693fbc1949c6df6d59647bbb99ab67557a6781ed4fe"))

Use case

eth_getBlockTransactionCountByHash is a useful tool for analyzing the Polygon zkEVM blockchain transaction volume. On average, a new block is generated on the Polygon zkEVM mainnet every 3 seconds, resulting in approximately 1,200 blocks per hour. Using a Web3 library, one can inspect the past 1,200 blocks starting from the latest block, retrieve the hash of each block, and use eth_getBlockTransactionCountByHash to find the number of transactions in each block.
