[
    "0x88df016429689c079f3b2f6ad39fa052532c56795b733da78a91ebe6a713944b"
]

What you receive

Object - An object of transaction, or returns null in case no transaction was found:

  • blockHash: DATA, 32 Bytes - the block’s hash where this transaction was located. returns null in case of a pending log.

  • blockNumber: the number of a block related to the chosen transaction. null when its pending.

  • from: 20 Bytes - the sender’s address.

  • to: 20 Bytes - the receiver’s address. returns null if a transaction relates to smart contract creation.

  • gasPrice: gas price that the sender did provide. represented in Wei.

  • gas: gas amount that the sender provided.

  • input: which data was sent along the transaction.

  • nonce: how many transactions were sent from one address before the current one.

  • transactionIndex: integer of the transactions index position in the block. returns null in case of a pending log.

  • value: value represented in Wei.

  • v: QUANTITY - ECDSA recovery id

  • r: DATA, 32 Bytes - ECDSA signature r

  • s: DATA, 32 Bytes - ECDSA signature s
