# getTransaction

Solana API method that returns the transaction details for a confirmed transaction.

Parameters:

  • <string> — the transaction signature as a base58 encoded string.
    • <object> — (optional) the configuration object containing the following optional fields:
      • encoding: <string> — (optional) the encoding for each returned transaction, either json, jsonParsed, base58 (slow), base64. If the parameter is not provided, the default encoding is json. jsonParsed encoding attempts to use program-specific instruction 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 standard JSON encoding (accounts, data, and programIdIndex fields).
      • commitment: <string> — (optional) the commitment; processed is not supported. If the parameter is not provided, the default is finalized.
      • maxSupportedTransactionVersion: <number> — (optional) the max transaction version to return in responses. An error will be returned if the requested transaction is a higher version. Only legacy transactions will be returned if this parameter is omitted, and any versioned transaction will prompt the error.

Returns:

The result will be an RPC response JSON object with value equal to one of the following:

  • <null> — if the transaction is not found or not confirmed.
  • <object> — if the transaction is confirmed, an object with the following fields:
    • slot: <u64> — the slot this transaction was processed in.
    • transaction: <object|[string,encoding]> — the transaction object, either in JSON format or encoded binary data, depending on encoding parameter.
    • blockTime: <i64 | null> — the estimated production time, as a Unix timestamp, seconds since the Unix epoch, of the transaction's processing. null if not available.

Example:

  • Solana web3.js
  • Solana.py
  • cURL 
import { Connection } from "@solana/web3.js";

const nodeUrl = "CHAINSTACK_NODE_URL"
const connect = new Connection(nodeUrl);

(async () => {  
  console.log(await connect.getTransaction("2diYRKwieGhX4NECxXHXRMjE2Dnu7FBDiaQXtm5ZAhoJmPVfJ1VjeRnKeEuSvudN9vn7NvXReqQ7trUfzPSAAhSj"));
})();
