eth_gettransactionbyhash

How to use it

// yarn add @tatumio/tatum

import { TatumSDK, Base, Network } from '@tatumio/tatum'

const tatum = await TatumSDK.init<Base>({ network: Network.BASE })

const tx = await tatum.rpc.getTransactionByHash(
  '0x48e0232d926a32d220feb670db77936c0a69db7a23c09c7e49bd63b9b2b16388',
)

await tatum.destroy() // Destroy Tatum SDK - needed for stopping background jobs

Overview

eth_getTransactionByHash is an method that allows you to query transaction details based on its hash. This method is useful when you want to retrieve information about a specific transaction, such as its sender, receiver, value, and more. Common use cases include tracking transaction status, monitoring incoming transactions, or analyzing historical transaction data.

Parameters

The eth_getTransactionByHash method takes one parameter:

• transactionHash: The hash of the transaction you want to retrieve. This should be a 32-byte hash string with a 0x prefix.
  • Example: "0x48e0232d926a32d220feb670db77936c0a69db7a23c09c7e49bd63b9b2b16388"

Return Object

The method returns a transaction object with the following fields:

• hash: The hash of the transaction (32 bytes).
• nonce: The number of transactions sent by the sender prior to this one (integer).
• blockHash: The hash of the block in which the transaction was included (32 bytes), or null if the transaction is not yet mined.
• blockNumber: The block number in which the transaction was included (integer), or null if the transaction is not yet mined.
• transactionIndex: The index of the transaction in the block (integer), or null if the transaction is not yet mined.
• from: The address of the sender (20 bytes).
• to: The address of the receiver (20 bytes), or null for contract creation transactions.
• value: The value transferred in the transaction, in wei.
• gasPrice: The price of gas for the transaction, in wei.
• maxFeePerGas - The maximum fee per gas set in the transaction.
• maxPriorityFeePerGas - The maximum priority gas fee set in the transaction.
• gas: The maximum amount of gas the transaction is allowed to consume.
• input: The data payload of the transaction (string), or 0x for simple value transfers.
