4 years ago @bgravenorst the result is just null.
Using the example from the docs on a syncing node, I just get the following:
timbeiko@Tims-MBP ~ % curl -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getBlockTransactionCountByHash","params":["0xb903239f8543d04b5dc1ba6579132b143087c68db1b2168786408fcbce568238"],"id":53}' http://127.0.0.1:8545
{
"jsonrpc" : "2.0",
"id" : 53,
"result" : null
}%Not sure it is something worth documenting. WDYT?
Feedback:
"while going through the Besu APIs to understand how preventing empty block creation for IBFT2 could affect existing applications, I have noticed that the doc for the API call eth_getBlockTransactionCountByHash does not mention how the call behaves in the case that no block matching the hash provided as parameter to the call has been received."
