Fetch a transaction

Transaction lookups are the second most common RPC call after tip/block. Always handle null / not found — the tx may still be mempool-only or outside full-node retention.

Steps

  1. Collect the transaction hash / signature / txid from your app or a block.
  2. Call the family get-transaction method (and receipt method on EVM if you need logs/status).
  3. If the result is null, retry later (pending) or check you are on the correct network slug.
  4. For status and logs on EVM, also call eth_getTransactionReceipt.

Tips

  • Replace example hashes with real ones from your network — placeholders return null.
  • Bitcoin: getrawtransaction "txid" true for JSON; verbose false returns hex.
  • TRON: wallet/gettransactionbyid with value: { value: "<txid>" } shape — see TRON guide.
