Some eth_getBlockByNumber requests have null response without explicit error

[yakud]

Hello. I tried fetch two block from https://mainnet.aurora.dev and rpc returns me null result every time.

curl -X POST -s -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getBlockByNumber","params":["76484583", false],"id":1}' \
  https://mainnet.aurora.dev

result:

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":null}

same for 76484584. But blocks around this two returns right response

What could be the problem? And how do I validate a block hash chain via rpc?

Hey, @stepollo2 .
Trying to reproduce this issue, hope you can help me with that by answering few questions.

1. Is this an occasional issue, or it occurs 100% of the time for this specific block?
2. What that server is located?

[0xChupaCabra]

It happens always at this specific block 100% of the times

curl -X POST -s -H 'content-type: application/json'   --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getBlockByNumber","params":["86443859", false],"id":1}' http://10.1.1.3:10082
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":null}

The node is hosted on a dedicated server with 512gb ram and 7TB NVMe drives

@stepollo2 there is a typo jsponrpc -> jsonrpc
It works:

curl -X POST https://mainnet.aurora.dev -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"method":"eth_getBlockByNumber","params":["0x5270753",true],"id":0,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}'

@stepollo2 there is a typo jsponrpc -> jsonrpc It works:

curl -X POST https://mainnet.aurora.dev -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"method":"eth_getBlockByNumber","params":["0x5270753",true],"id":0,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}'

saw it and edited the post. im using etherjs to process blocks and it returns null as well
