# starknet\_getClassAt - STRK

Example code for the starknet\_getClassAt JSON-RPC method. Complete guide on how to use starknet\_getClassAt JSON-RPC in GetBlock Web3 documentation.

This method returns the class definition of the contract deployed at a given address at a block, resolving the class hash for you. It combines class-hash lookup and class fetch.

## Parameters

| Parameter         | Type             | Required | Description                                |
| ----------------- | ---------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| block\_id         | object \| string | Yes      | {block\_number} or {block\_hash}, or a tag |
| contract\_address | string           | Yes      | The contract address to resolve and fetch  |
