API endpoint with latest block hash #1093

Open cpuchainorg opened 5 months ago

cpuchainorg commented 5 months ago

Would be great if we have an additional API endpoint that would return recent block hashes only ( about 100 or 1000 would be good ).

This should be useful for http endpoints to detect reorgs without using websockets

You dont need blockbook for this. Just ask the node directly: https://developer.bitcoin.org/reference/rpc/getbestblockhash.html

e.g. 

curl --location '<nod url>'  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": "somedummyid",
    "method": "getbestblockhash",
    "params": []
}'

@cryptosystems6300 You can search on their github why you shouldn't expose your bitcoin rpc to public... they aren't redundant to serve data in public...
