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:

———-
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)

Example Request and Response
