# Latest Block

`GET /v1/blocks/latest`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.bitpoort.com` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.bitpoort.com/v1/blocks/latest`
- Auth: one of:
  - API key in header `X-API-Key`
  - HTTP bearer

Latest block for a chain. Convenience alias — equivalent to
``/v1/blocks/{chain}?limit=1`` but with a flatter shape so agents can do
``GET /v1/blocks/latest?chain=ETH`` without needing to know the path-param
convention. The single block is returned under the ``block`` key.

## Query parameters

- `chain` string, required: Chain ID (ETH, BTC, HL, POLYGON)

## Response `200`

Latest indexed block for the requested chain plus the current head block number.
