### ExecutionPayloadBodyV1
This structure contains a body of an execution payload. The fields are encoded as follows:

This method follows the same specification as [`engine_getPayloadV1`](./paris.md#engine_getpayloadv1) with the addition of the following:

1. Client software **SHOULD** use the sum of the block's priority fees or any other algorithm to determine `blockValue`.

### engine_getPayloadBodiesByHashV1

#### Request

* method: `engine_getPayloadBodiesByHashV1`
* params:
1. `Array of DATA`, 32 Bytes - Array of `block_hash` field values of the `ExecutionPayload` structure
* timeout: 10s

#### Response

* result: `Array of ExecutionPayloadBodyV1` - Array of [`ExecutionPayloadBodyV1`](#ExecutionPayloadBodyV1) objects.
* error: code and message set in case an exception happens while processing the method call.

#### Specification

1. Given array of block hashes client software **MUST** respond with array of `ExecutionPayloadBodyV1` objects with the corresponding hashes respecting the order of block hashes in the input array.

1. Client software **MUST** place responses in the order given in the request, using `null` for any missing blocks. For instance, if the request is `[A.block_hash, B.block_hash, C.block_hash]` and client software has data of payloads `A` and `C`, but doesn't have data of `B`, the response **MUST** be `[A.body, null, C.body]`.

1. Clients that support `engine_getPayloadBodiesByRangeV1` **MAY NOT** respond to requests for finalized blocks by hash.

1. This request maps to [`BeaconBlocksByRoot`](https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/blob/dev/specs/phase0/p2p-interface.md#beaconblocksbyroot) in the consensus layer `p2p` specification. Callers must be careful to use the execution block root, instead of the beacon block root.

### engine_getPayloadBodiesByRangeV1

#### Request

* method: `engine_getPayloadBodiesByRangeV1`
* params:
1. `start`: `QUANTITY`, 64 bits - Starting block number
1. `count`: `QUANITTY`, 64 bits - Number of blocks to return
* timeout: 10s

#### Response

* result: `Array of ExecutionPayloadBodyV1` - Array of [`ExecutionPayloadBodyV1`](#ExecutionPayloadBodyV1) objects.
* error: code and message set in case an exception happens while processing the method call.

#### Specification

1. Given a `start` and a `count`, the client software **MUST** respond with array of `ExecutionPayloadBodyV1` objects with the corresponding execution block number respecting the order of blocks in the canonical chain, as selected by the latest `engine_forkchoiceUpdated` call.

1. Client software **MUST** support `count` values of at least 32 blocks.

1. Client software **MUST** place `null` in the response array for any blocks that have been pruned or where the request extends past the current latest known block.

Shouldn't this be determinable by the number of responses? Is there ever a case where there would be a gap? Right now, I expect every request over a boundary to be like:

->  engine_getPayloadBodiesByRangeV1(100, 5)
<- [block_101, block_102, null, null, null]

Basically I think the trailing nulls are redundant info.

Good point. @arnetheduck why would CL need trailing nulls?

I don't think it matters greatly either way - we have to consider that a syncing client cannot reliably tell if it should be a null or not past its own head, so we can just pick one "style" and go with it.

Arguably, not sending "null" carries the "I don't know" distinction vs "I know there's nothing past that block" as happens with a historical request over a boundary where the EL "knows" there are blocks after the gap, so it might indeed be better to not include the null for any request past head.


1. This request maps to [`BeaconBlocksByRange`](https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/blob/dev/specs/phase0/p2p-interface.md#beaconblocksbyrange) in the consensus layer `p2p` specification.

1. Callers must be careful to not confuse `start` with a slot number, instead mapping the slot to a block number. Callers must also be careful to request non-finalized blocks by root in order to avoid race conditions around the current view of the canonical chain.

1. Callers must be careful to verify the hash of the received blocks when requesting non-finalized parts of the chain since the response is prone to being re-orged.
