Overview

The eth_getBlockTransactionCountByNumber Ethereum JSON-RPC method allows you to retrieve the number of transactions in a specified block. This method is particularly useful when you need to analyze the transaction activity of a specific block. You can use it to gain insights into network usage, analyze the impact of specific events on the Ethereum network, or monitor transaction congestion in certain blocks.
