debug_traceBlockByNumber

Similar to debug_traceBlock, traceBlockByNumber accepts a block number and will replay the block that is already present in the database. For the second parameter see TraceConfig reference.

Parameters

  • QUANTITY|TAG - integer block number, or the string "latest", "earliest" or "pending", see the default block parameter
  • OBJECT- The tracer object with the following fields:
    • tracer: STRING - The type of tracer. It could be callTracer or prestateTracer
      • callTracer - The calltracer keeps track of all call frames, including depth 0 calls, that are made during a transaction
      • prestateTracer - The prestateTracer replays the transaction and tracks every part of state that occured during the transaction
    • tracerConfig: OBJECT - The object to specify the configurations of the tracer
      • onlyTopCall: BOOLEAN - When set to true, this will only trace the primary (top-level) call and not any sub-calls. It eliminates the additional processing for each call frame
