## API requests

If you have access to a Filecoin node, you can send a JSON-RPC request to get block information.

To get the head tipset:

```shell
curl --location --request POST 'https://api.node.glif.io/rpc/v1' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "jsonrpc":"2.0",
    "method":"Filecoin.ChainHead",
    "params": null,
    "id":1
}' | jq
```

Print a block:

```shell
curl --location --request POST 'https://api.node.glif.io/rpc/v1' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "jsonrpc":"2.0",
    "method":"Filecoin.ChainGetBlock",
    "params": [{"/": "bafy2bzacebpgpa7elb5uwqxbiljlzgbmpenv4yw2e3gpcjk7ssxv2ijv3ecv2"}],
    "id":1
}' | jq
```

Print message information:

```shell
curl --location --request POST 'https://api.node.glif.io/rpc/v1' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "jsonrpc":"2.0",
    "method":"Filecoin.ChainGetMessage",
    "params": [{"/": "bafy2bzacebpgpa7elb5uwqxbiljlzgbmpenv4yw2e3gpcjk7ssxv2ijv3ecv2"}],
