In the previous sections we obtained block reward data by discovering the latest Ethereum block created. Of course, Ethereum produces a new block about every 13 seconds or so and it would be nice to automate the data acquisition process. One way, of course, would be to, say, cron or otherwise daemonize our frontend application. But where's the fun in that and we'd rather hand that task to the p2p network.

As we have seen in our AIR workflows, particles travel the path, trigger execution, and update their data. So far, we have only seen services consume previous outputs as \(complete\) inputs, which means that service at workflow sequence s needs to be fairly tightly coupled to service at sequence s-1, which is less than ideal. Luckily, Fluence provides a solution to access certain types of results as j_son paths_.

## Advanced Service Output Access

As Aquamarine advances a particle's journey through the network, output from a service at workflow sequence s-1 method tends to be the input for a service at sequence s method. For example, the _hex\_to\_int_ method, as used earlier, takes the output from the _get\_latest\_block_ method. With single parameter outputs, this is a pretty straight forward and inherently decoupled dependency relation. However, when result parameters become more complex, such as structs, we still would like to keep services as decoupled as possible.

Fluence provides this capability by facilitating the conversion of \(Rust\) struct returns into [json values](https://github.com/fluencelabs/aquamarine/blob/master/interpreter-lib/src/execution/boxed_value/jvaluable.rs#L30). This allows json type key-value access to a desired subset of return values. If you got back to the _ethqlite.clj_ script, you may notice some fancy `$`, `!` operators tucked away in the deep recesses of parenthesis stacking. Below the pertinent snippet:

Basically, _get\_miner\_rewards_ wants an Ethereum address as a `String` and in the context of our AIR script we want to get the value from the _get\_reward\_block_ result. Rather than tightly coupling _get\_miner\_rewards_ to _get\_reward\_block_ in terms of, say, the _RewardBlock_ input parameter, we take advantage of the Fluence capability to turn structs into json strings and then supply the relevant key to extract the desired value. Specifically, we use the `$` operator to access the json representation at the desired index and the `!` operator to flatten the value, if desired.
