getTransaction RPC Method

Returns transaction details for a confirmed transaction

params

string required Transaction signature, as base-58 encoded string object optional Configuration object containing the following fields:

commitment

The commitment describes how finalized a block is at that point in time. See Configuring State Commitment.

maxSupportedTransactionVersion

Set the max transaction version to return in responses. If the requested transaction is a higher version, an error will be returned. If this parameter is omitted, only legacy transactions will be returned, and any versioned transaction will prompt the error.

encoding

Values: json, jsonParsed, base64, base58 Default: json

Encoding for the returned Transaction

• jsonParsed encoding attempts to use program-specific state parsers to return more human-readable and explicit data in the transaction.message.instructions list.
• If jsonParsed is requested but a parser cannot be found, the instruction falls back to regular JSON encoding (accounts, data, and programIdIndex fields).

meta

transaction

Transaction object, either in JSON format or encoded binary data, depending on encoding parameter
