getblock "blockhash" ( verbosity ) 

If verbosity is 0, returns a string that is serialized, hex-encoded data for block 'hash'.
If verbosity is 1, returns an Object with information about block .
If verbosity is 2, returns an Object with information about block and information about each transaction.

Arguments:
1. "blockhash" (string, required) The block hash
2. verbosity (numeric, optional, default=1) 0 for hex encoded data, 1 for a json object, and 2 for json object with transaction data

Result (for verbosity = 0):
"data" (string) A string that is serialized, hex-encoded data for block 'hash'.

Result (for verbosity = 1):
{
"hash" : "hash", (string) the block hash (same as provided)
"confirmations" : n, (numeric) The number of confirmations, or -1 if the block is not on the main chain
"size" : n, (numeric) The block size
"strippedsize" : n, (numeric) The block size excluding witness data
"weight" : n (numeric) The block weight as defined in BIP 141
"height" : n, (numeric) The block height or index
"version" : n, (numeric) The block version
"versionHex" : "00000000", (string) The block version formatted in hexadecimal
"merkleroot" : "xxxx", (string) The merkle root
"tx" : [ (array of string) The transaction ids
"transactionid" (string) The transaction id
,...
],
"time" : ttt, (numeric) The block time in seconds since epoch (Jan 1 1970 GMT)
"mediantime" : ttt, (numeric) The median block time in seconds since epoch (Jan 1 1970 GMT)
"nonce" : n, (numeric) The nonce
"bits" : "1d00ffff", (string) The bits
"difficulty" : x.xxx, (numeric) The difficulty
"chainwork" : "xxxx", (string) Expected number of hashes required to produce the chain up to this block (in hex)
"previousblockhash" : "hash", (string) The hash of the previous block
"nextblockhash" : "hash" (string) The hash of the next block
}

Result (for verbosity = 2):
{
..., Same output as verbosity = 1.
"tx" : [ (array of Objects) The transactions in the format of the getrawtransaction RPC. Different from verbosity = 1 "tx" result.
,...
],
,... Same output as verbosity = 1.
