getrawtransaction (rawtransactions command)

Bitcoin Core 26.0 RPC

getrawtransaction "txid" ( verbosity "blockhash" )

By default, this call only returns a transaction if it is in the mempool. If -txindex is enabled

and no blockhash argument is passed, it will return the transaction if it is in the mempool or any block.

If a blockhash argument is passed, it will return the transaction if

the specified block is available and the transaction is in that block.

Hint: Use gettransaction for wallet transactions.

If verbosity is 0 or omitted, returns the serialized transaction as a hex-encoded string.

If verbosity is 1, returns a JSON Object with information about the transaction.

If verbosity is 2, returns a JSON Object with information about the transaction, including fee and prevout information.

Arguments

1. txid         (string, required) The transaction id
2. verbosity    (numeric, optional, default=0) 0 for hex-encoded data, 1 for a JSON object, and 2 for JSON object with fee and prevout
3. blockhash    (string, optional) The block in which to look for the transaction

Result

"str"    (string) The serialized transaction as a hex-encoded string for 'txid'
