### [eth\_getBlockByNumber](https://www.alchemy.com/docs/node/op-mainnet/op-mainnet-api-endpoints/eth-get-block-by-number)

Use the `pending` tag to retrieve the latest Flashblock:

```bash
curl https://base-sepolia.g.alchemy.com/v2/<YOUR_API_KEY> -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getBlockByNumber","params":["pending",true],"id":1}'

#### Example Response

```bash
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"result": {
"number": "0x1234",
"hash": "0x...",
"transactions": [...]
}
}
```

```bash
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"result": {
"transactionHash": "0x...",
"blockNumber": "0x1234",
"status": "0x1"
}
}
```

### [eth\_getBalance](https://www.alchemy.com/docs/node/op-mainnet/op-mainnet-api-endpoints/eth-get-balance)

Use the `pending` tag to get the address balance in the latest Flashblock:

```bash
curl https://base-sepolia.g.alchemy.com/v2/<YOUR_API_KEY> -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getBalance","params":["0x...","pending"],"id":1}'
```

#### Example Response

```bash
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"result": "0x0234"
}
```

### [eth\_getTransactionCount](https://www.alchemy.com/docs/node/op-mainnet/op-mainnet-api-endpoints/eth-get-transaction-count)

Use the `pending` tag to get the address nonce in the latest Flashblock:

```bash
curl https://base-sepolia.g.alchemy.com/v2/<YOUR_API_KEY> -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getTransactionCount","params":["0x...","pending"],"id":1}'
```

#### Example Response

```bash
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"result": "0x1b" // 27 transactions
}
```

### [eth\_getTransactionByHash](https://www.alchemy.com/docs/node/op-mainnet/op-mainnet-api-endpoints/eth-get-transaction-by-hash)

Use the existing get transaction by hash RPC to get preconfirmed transactions:

```bash
curl https://base-sepolia.g.alchemy.com/v2/<YOUR_API_KEY> -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getTransactionByHash","params":["0x..."],"id":1}'
```
