eth_getTransactionByHash

Last updated:

eth_getTransactionByHash looks up a single transaction by its 32-byte hash and returns the full transaction object. Use it to confirm that a transaction you broadcast (for example via eth_sendRawTransaction) was accepted by the network, to read back its calldata and value, or to find which block it landed in.

The method resolves both mined and pending transactions. If the hash has been seen in the mempool but not yet included in a block, the blockHash, blockNumber, and transactionIndex fields are returned as null while the rest of the object is populated. If the hash is completely unknown to the node — never broadcast, dropped, or replaced — the result is null.

A null result is not an error: the JSON-RPC envelope still returns HTTP 200 with "result": null. To read execution outcome (status, gas used, logs) you need eth_getTransactionReceipt, which is only available once the transaction is mined.

Examples

curl https://triport.io/eth \
  -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <api-key>' \
  -d '{"id":1,"method":"eth_getTransactionByHash","params":[],"jsonrpc":"2.0"}'
const res = await fetch("https://triport.io/eth", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json", Authorization: "Bearer <api-key>" },
  body: JSON.stringify({
  "id": 1,
  "method": "eth_getTransactionByHash",
  "params": [],
  "jsonrpc": "2.0"
}),
});
const data = await res.json();
import requests
resp = requests.post(
