# eth\_getBlockReceipt - Flashblocks

This returns the receipt of a block — preconfirmed OR finalized. Preconfirmed receipts are identifiable by their zero `blockHash` (`0x00...00`) and `blockNumber: null`. Once the parent block seals (within 2 seconds), the same receipt returns with a real block hash. This zero-hash convention is the canonical way to distinguish preconfirmed vs finalized receipts without additional RPC calls.

## Parameters

| Parameter   | Type     | Required | Description |
| ----------- | -------- | -------- | ----------- |
| blockNumber | QUANTITY | TAG      | Yes         |

## Use Cases

* Wallet UIs showing preconfirmed transaction success within 200ms of submission

* Distinguishing 'transaction preconfirmed' vs 'transaction finalized' UX states
* Detecting transaction revert or success before block seal

## SDK Integration

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="ethers.js" %}
{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```javascript
import { ethers } from 'ethers';

const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider('https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/');

// Generic JSON-RPC call — 'pending' returns Flashblocks-preconfirmed state:
const result = await provider.send('eth_getBlockReceipts', ["pending"]);
console.log(result);

// Many standard methods have typed wrappers on ethers Provider that accept 'pending':
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="viem" %}
{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```javascript
import { createPublicClient, http } from 'viem';

const client = createPublicClient({
    transport: http('https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/')
});

// viem's read methods accept blockTag: 'pending' for Flashblocks-preconfirmed state:
const result = await client.request({
    method: 'eth_getBlockReceipts',
    params: ["pending"]
});
console.log(result);

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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/flashblocks/flashblocks-api/eth_getblockreceipt-flashblocks.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.
