getblockfrompeer (25.0.0 RPC)

getblockfrompeer "blockhash" peer_id

Attempt to fetch block from a given peer.

We must have the header for this block, e.g. using submitheader.
Subsequent calls for the same block and a new peer will cause the response from the previous peer to be ignored.
Peers generally ignore requests for a stale block that they never fully verified, or one that is more than a month old.
When a peer does not respond with a block, we will disconnect.
Note: The block could be re-pruned as soon as it is received.

Returns an empty JSON object if the request was successfully scheduled.

Arguments:
1. blockhash    (string, required) The block hash to try to fetch
2. peer_id      (numeric, required) The peer to fetch it from (see getpeerinfo for peer IDs)

Result:
{}    (empty JSON object)
