We are building a data-analytics platform for ethereum transactions. I am using both a local Parity node and an Infura Geth node but cannot find the transactions that occurred at block 0.
Etherscan tells me that block 0 has 8893 transactions, but these transactions are not available in both the nodes.
Result from Infura node
>>> from ethjsonrpc import InfuraEthJsonRpc
>>> c = InfuraEthJsonRpc(network='mainnet')
>>> block_data = c.eth_getBlockByNumber(0)
>>> block_data

Generally, the transaction information is appended after the block information. None of the nodes give transactions that occurred at block 0 in the response.
Where can I get this information? I would prefer scraping this data from an ethereum node.
