eth_getTransactionByHash

Returns the information about a transaction requested by transaction hash.

The eth_getTransactionByHash command returns information about a requested transaction based on its transaction hash. If the transaction is pending, blockHash, blockNumber, and transactionIndex will be null.

As an alternative to eth_getTransactionByHash, eth_getTransactionByBlockNumberAndIndex is recommended for older transactions.

Parameters

DATA, 32 Bytes - hash of a transaction

params: [
