getblock JSON-RPC command

getblock "blockhash" ( verbosity )

If verbosity is 0 or false, returns a string that is serialized, hex-encoded data for block 'hash'.
If verbosity is 1 or true, returns an Object with information about block <hash>.
If verbosity is 2, returns an Object with information about block <hash> and information about each transaction, including fee.
If verbosity is >=3, returns an Object with information about block <hash> and information about each transaction, including fee, and including prevout information for inputs (only for unpruned blocks in the current best chain).

Arguments

1. "blockhash"    (string, required) The block hash
2. verbosity      (numeric, optional, default=1) 0 for hex-encoded data, 1 for a json object, and 2 for json object with transaction data, and 3 for JSON object with transaction data including prevout information for inputs

Result (for verbosity = 0)
