# `getBlockProduction`

Returns recent block production information from the current or previous epoch. This method uses [160 credits](/services/get-started/pricing/) from your daily balance.

## Parameters[​](#parameters "Direct link to Parameters")

- `config`: (object) _[optional]_ - Configuration object with the following options:  
  - `commitment`: (string) _[optional]_ - The commitment level to use for the query. The default is `finalized`. Possible values are:  
    - `finalized` - Queries the most recent block confirmed by a super majority of the cluster as having reached maximum lockout, meaning the cluster has recognized this block as finalized.
    - `confirmed` - Queries the most recent block that has been voted on by a super majority of the cluster.
    - `processed` - Queries its most recent block. The block may still be skipped by the cluster.
  - `range`: (array) _[optional]_ - Slot range to return block production for. If not provided, defaults to current epoch.  
    - `firstSlot`: (integer) _[optional]_ - The first slot in the range.
    - `lastSlot`: (integer) _[optional]_ - The last slot in the range.
  - `identity`: (string) _[optional]_ - Only return results for this `base58` encoded validator identity.

## Returns[​](#returns "Direct link to Returns")

`result` - An object with the following fields:

- `context` - An object containing the following keys:  
  - `slot` - The slot number of the block that was queried.
  - `apiVersion` - The API version used for the query.
- `value` - An object containing block production information:  
  - `byIdentity` - A dictionary of validator identities, as `base58` encoded strings. This is a two element array containing the number of leader slots and the number of blocks produced.
