subscribeToBlockHeadersWithChainLocks

This endpoint helps support simplified payment verification (SPV) via DAPI by providing access to block headers which can then be used to verify transactions and simplified masternode lists.

Returns: streams the requested block header information
Parameters:

Name	Type	Required	Description
----------
One of the following:
`from_block_hash`	Bytes	No	Return records beginning with the block hash provided
`from_block_height`	Integer	No	Return records beginning with the block height provided
----------
`count`	Integer	No	Number of blocks to sync. If set to 0 syncing is continuously sends new data as well (default: 0)

`bloom_filter.n_hash_funcs`	Integer	Yes	The number of hash functions to use in this filter. The maximum value allowed in this field is 50
`bloom_filter.n_tweak`	Integer	Yes	A random value to add to the seed value in the hash function used by the bloom filter
`bloom_filter.n_flags`	Integer	Yes	A set of flags that control how matched items are added to the filter
----------
One of the following:
`from_block_hash`	Bytes	No	Return records beginning with the block hash provided
