With the /notxdetails/ option JSON response will only contain the transaction hash instead of the complete transaction details. The option only affects the JSON response.
- `GET /rest/blockpart/<BLOCK-HASH>.<bin|hex>?offset=<OFFSET>&size=<SIZE>`
Given a block hash: returns a block part, in binary or hex-encoded binary formats.
Responds with 404 if the block or the byte range doesn't exist.

New REST API
------------
- A new REST API endpoint (`/rest/blockpart/BLOCKHASH.bin?offset=X&size=Y`) has been introduced
for efficiently fetching a range of bytes from block `BLOCKHASH`.
