Compute per block statistics for a given window. All amounts are in satoshis.

It won’t work for some heights with pruning.

Argument #1 - hash_or_height​

Type: string or numeric, required

The block hash or height of the target block

Argument #2 - stats​

Type: json array, optional, default=all values

Values to plot (see result below)

[
  "height",     (string) Selected statistic
  "time",       (string) Selected statistic
  ...
]
