# Latest Finalized Block

`GET /finalized-head`

Returns the block number and hash of the highest finalized block available in the dataset, or null if no blocks are available. Useful mostly for diagnostics, as clients using /stream can get this info from the X-Sqd-Finalized-Head-Number and X-Sqd-Finalized-Head-Hash response headers.

## Response `200`

Highest finalized block information

- BlockHead, nullable
  - `number` integer — Block number of the highest available block.
  - `hash` string — ID (hash) of the highest available block.
