eth_getTransactionByHash

Returns information about a transaction for a given hash. This method uses 80 credits from your daily balance.

MEV protection

Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) protection is available for all Infura customers on Mainnet. This means r, s, and v signature fields might return empty hex values (0x0) while the transaction is pending on Mainnet.

Parameters​

transaction hash: [Required] A string representing the hash (32 bytes) of a transaction.

Returns​

A transaction object, or null when no transaction was found. The transaction object will consist of the following keys and their values:

  • accessList: [optional] A list of addresses and storage keys accessed by the transaction. See access list transactions.
  • blockHash: 32 bytes. A hash of the block including this transaction. null when it's pending.
  • blockNumber: The number of the block including this transaction. null when it's pending.
  • chainID: [optional] chain ID specifying the network. Returned only for EIP-1559 transactions.
  • from: 20 bytes. The address of the sender.
  • gas: Gas provided by the sender.
  • gasPrice: Gas price provided by the sender in wei.
  • hash: 32 bytes. The hash of the transaction.
  • input: The data sent along with the transaction.
  • maxPriorityFeePerGas: [optional] Maximum fee, in wei, the sender is willing to pay per gas above the base fee. See EIP-1559 transactions.
  • maxFeePerGas: [optional] Maximum total fee (base fee + priority fee), in wei, the sender is willing to pay per gas. See EIP-1559 transactions.
  • nonce: The number of transactions made by the sender prior to this one.
  • r: 32 bytes. The ECDSA signature r.
  • s: 32 bytes. The ECDSA signature s.
  • to: 20 bytes. The address of the receiver. null when it's a contract creation transaction.
  • transactionIndex: The transaction's index position in the block, in hexadecimal. null when it's pending.
  • type: The transaction type.
  • v: The ECDSA recovery ID.
  • value: The value transferred in wei.
  • yParity: [optional] Parity (0x0 for even, 0x1 for odd) of the y-value of a secp256k1 signature.
