getrawtransaction
description: Give back the unprocessed transaction data.
getrawtransaction
This function only functions with mempool transactions by default. If the provided block is available and the transaction is located in that block, getrawtransaction—when called with a blockhash argument—will return the transaction. Getrawtransaction will return the transaction if it is in the mempool or, if -txindex is enabled and the transaction is in a block on the blockchain, if it is called without a blockhash argument.
Advice: For wallet transactions, use gettransaction.
Returns an Object containing information about "txid" if verbose is "true."
Provides a string containing serialized, hex-encoded data for 'txid' if verbose is either 'false' or left off.
