The downside of this API call is that it doesn’t support batched calls. That is, a request has to be made specifically for every missing block header. This can be time-consuming, especially if we decide to load all historical transfer’s time information and then proceed to calculate equivalent values.
I wonder if block time could be just calculated from: Head block time, number of block with transaction and average block production per second. If that average keeps tight result could be accurate enough.
