As part of Bitcoin Watch <http://www.bitcoinwatch.com/>, a new feature provides a developer-friendly dump of a bitcoin block at the specified height. GET parameters: "h" - height of block to download "json" - set to non-zero value, to enable application/json output rather than HTML output Examples: Dump block 72000: http://blk.bitcoinwatch.com/b?h=72000 Dump block 72000, with JSON: http://blk.bitcoinwatch.com/b?h=72000&json=1

This sub-page of Bitcoin Watch shows the last 7 days worth of blocks, each block linking to expanded data: http://blk.bitcoinwatch.com/

Superb! Thanks a lot.

That's kind of interesting as an upside-down bar chart of how many blocks were produced each day. The target is 144 blocks per day.
