# getnetworkhashps - Dash

#### Parameters

`blocks` - number (int)

Optional.

The number of blocks to average together for calculating the estimated hashes per second.

Default is 120. Use -1 to average all blocks produced since the last difficulty change.

`height` - number (int)

Optional.

The height of the last block to use for calculating the average. Defaults to -1 for the highest-height block on the local best block chain.

If the specified height is higher than the highest block on the local best block chain, it will be interpreted the same as -1

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.getblock.io/api-reference/dash-dash/dash_getnetworkhashps.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
