getchaintxstats

getchaintxstats ( nblocks "blockhash" ) Compute statistics about the total number and rate of transactions in the chain. Arguments: 1. nblocks (numeric, optional, default=one month) Size of the window in number of blocks 2. blockhash (string, optional, default=chain tip) The hash of the block that ends the window. Result: { (json object) "time" : xxx, (numeric) The timestamp for the final block in the window, expressed in UNIX epoch time "txcount" : n, (numeric, optional) The total number of transactions in the chain up to that point, if known. It may be unknown when using assumeutxo. "window_final_block_hash" : "hex", (string) The hash of the final block in the window "window_final_block_height" : n, (numeric) The height of the final block in the window. "window_block_count" : n, (numeric) Size of the window in number of blocks "window_interval" : n, (numeric, optional) The elapsed time in the window in seconds. Only returned if "window_block_count" is > 0 "window_tx_count" : n, (numeric, optional) The number of transactions in the window. Only returned if "window_block_count" is > 0 and if txcount exists for the start and end of the window. "txrate" : n (numeric, optional) The average rate of transactions per second in the window. Only returned if "window_interval" is > 0 and if window_tx_count exists. } Examples: > bitcoin-cli getchaintxstats > curl --user myusername --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": "curltest", "method": "getchaintxstats", "params": [2016]}' -H 'content-type: application/json' http://127.0.0.1:8332/
