Arguments: request (HTTPRequest): Used for calling django reverse. usage_key (UsageKey): Identifies the starting block of interest. user (User): Optional user object for whom the blocks are being retrieved. If None, blocks are returned regardless of access checks. depth (integer or None): Identifies the depth of the tree to return starting at the root block. If None, the entire tree starting at the root is returned. nav_depth (integer): Optional parameter that indicates how far deep to traverse into the block hierarchy before bundling all the descendants for navigation. requested_fields (list): Optional list of names of additional fields to return for each block. Supported fields are listed in transformers.SUPPORTED_FIELDS. block_counts (list): Optional list of names of block types for which to return an aggregate count of blocks. student_view_data (list): Optional list of names of block types for which blocks to return their student_view_data. return_type (string): Possible values are 'dict' or 'list'. Indicates the format for returning the blocks. block_types_filter (list): Optional list of block type names used to filter the final result of returned blocks.
