# eth\_getTransactionByHash - Ethereum

The method recalls the transaction data after you enter its hash

## How to Use the eth\_getTransactionByHash Method

### **Parameters**

DATA, 32 Bytes - a transaction’s hash params:

```
[
    "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.
* hash: 32 Bytes - the transaction’s hash.
* 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

### Sample

Here is a typical appliance example.

#### Call

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Curl" %}

```bash
curl https://eth-mainnet.rpcfast.com/?api_key=<key> \
    -X POST \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getTransactionByHash","params":["0x88df016429689c079f3b2f6ad39fa052532c56795b733da78a91ebe6a713944b"],"id":0}'

```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.rpcfast.com/rpc-fast-saas-evm/ethereum-api/eth_gettransactionbyhash-ethereum.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
