gettxout

How to use it

// yarn add @tatumio/tatum

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

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

const result = await tatum.rpc.getTxOut('c7ad51e46a39d136adc2bb7536a236136cc206ab3c8dabcd4277d4cadcf674f2', 1)

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

Overview

The gettxout RPC method returns details about an unspent transaction output (UTXO). This method can be used to check if a specific transaction output is still unspent and obtain its details such as the value and scriptPubKey.

Parameters

• txid (string, required): The transaction ID of the output.
• n (numeric, required): The index of the output within the transaction (vout).
• include_mempool (boolean, optional, default=true): Whether to include the mempool. Set to false to only check for outputs confirmed in the blockchain.

Example

• txid: "a12345abcdef67890bcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890"
• n: 1
• include_mempool: true

Return Object

The return object contains the following fields:

• bestblock: (string) The hash of the block at the tip of the blockchain.
• confirmations: (numeric) The number of confirmations for the transaction. -1 if the transaction is not yet confirmed and in the mempool.
• value: (numeric) The value of the output.
• scriptPubKey: (object) Information about the output's scriptPubKey.
  • asm: (string) The assembly representation of the script.
  • hex: (string) The hex representation of the script.
  • type: (string) The type of the script (e.g., pubkeyhash, scripthash).
  • addresses: (array) The Litecoin addresses associated with this output.
• coinbase: (boolean) Whether the transaction is a coinbase transaction.
• version: (numeric) The transaction version.
• height: (numeric) The height of the block containing this output.
