How to use it
// yarn add @tatumio/tatum
import { TatumSDK, Bitcoin, Network } from '@tatumio/tatum'
const tatum = await TatumSDK.init<Bitcoin>({ network: Network.BITCOIN })
const result = await tatum.rpc.decodeRawTransaction(
'02000000013412cdab3412cdab3412cdab3412cdab3412cdab3412cdab3412cdab3412cdab0000000000fdffffff0140420f00000000001976a91462e907b15cbf27d5425399ebf6f0fb50ebb88f1888ac00000000',
)
await tatum.destroy() // Destroy Tatum SDK - needed for stopping background jobs
Overview
The decoderawtransaction RPC method decodes a serialized (hex-encoded) raw transaction and displays its information in a human-readable format. This method is useful for inspecting raw transactions before broadcasting them to the Bitcoin network or for debugging purposes.
Parameters
hex_string: (string, required) The serialized raw transaction in hex format.
Return Object
An object containing the decoded raw transaction information:
txid: (string) The transaction ID.hash: (string) The transaction hash.version: (numeric) The transaction version.size: (numeric) The transaction size in bytes.vsize: (numeric) The virtual transaction size in bytes.weight: (numeric) The transaction weight.locktime: (numeric) The lock time for the transaction.vin: (array) An array of objects, each representing an input of the transaction.txid: (string) The transaction ID of the previous transaction output to spend.vout: (numeric) The index of the output to spend from the previous transaction.scriptSig: (object) The script used to redeem the previous transaction output.asm: (string) The assembly representation of the script.hex: (string) The hex-encoded script.
sequence: (numeric) The sequence number.
vout: (array) An array of objects, each representing an output of the transaction.value: (numeric) The amount sent to the output.n: (numeric) The index of the output.scriptPubKey: (object) The script used to lock the output.asm: (string) The assembly representation of the script.hex: (string) The hex-encoded script.reqSigs: (numeric) The required number of signatures.type: (string) The type of the script (e.g., 'pubkeyhash').addresses: (array) An array of Bitcoin addresses associated with the output.
