Block Viewer: Show size of the blocks in the UI

[onprem]

The size of a block is a useful metric. We can show things like the overall size of a block, the size of it's index, the total size occupied by all blocks, etc. in the Block Viewer itself.

I see that Prometheus has an API exposed to query currently stored TSDB Blocks (via /api/query/v1/blocks). But I am unable to find details of it in the Prometheus or Thanos docs. I am guessing the above required data will be queried using that API?
Is there any relevant docs or resources where I can find details of such an API.

Note that recently Prometheus BlockReader gained Size() function.

We have other APIs for this and yes, it should be better documented - only block viewer is using it.

Note that recently Prometheus BlockReader gained Size() function.

This is great but not very helpful for this issue, as we store all blocks in object storage (:

object storage does not implement the BlockReader interface?

Not directly.
