getrawtransaction

Return the raw transaction data.

By default this function only works for mempool transactions. When called with a blockhash argument, getrawtransaction will return the transaction if the specified block is available and the transaction is found in that block. When called without a blockhash argument, getrawtransaction will return the transaction if it is in the mempool, or if -txindex is enabled and the transaction is in a block in the blockchain.

Hint: Use gettransaction for wallet transactions.

If verbose is β€˜true’, returns an Object with information about β€˜txid’.

If verbose is β€˜false’ or omitted, returns a string that is serialized, hex-encoded data for β€˜txid’.

Argument #1 - txid

Type: string, required

The transaction id

Argument #2 - verbose

Type: boolean, optional, default=false

If false, return a string, otherwise return a json object

Argument #3 - blockhash

Type: string, optional

The block in which to look for the transaction

Result (if verbose is not set or set to false)

Name

Type

Description

str

string

The serialized, hex-encoded data for β€˜txid’
