# getTransaction

Returns transaction details for a confirmed transaction.

This method will use `30` [Compute Units](/nodeapi/about/billing).

***

## **Parameters**

* `tx_sig` string. The transaction signature as base-58 encoded string.
* `object` *optional.* Configuration object containing the following fields:
  * `commitment` string. The level of commitment required for the query. The options include:
    * `finalized` string. The node will query the most recent block confirmed by the supermajority of the cluster as having reached maximum lockout, meaning the cluster has recognized this block as finalized.
    * `confirmed` string. The node will query the most recent block that has been voted on by the supermajority of the cluster.
    * `processed` string. The node will query its most recent block. Note that the block may not be complete.
  * `maxSupportedTransactionVersion` integer. The maximum transaction version to return in responses. If the requested block contains a transaction with a higher version, an error will be returned. If this parameter is omitted, only legacy transactions will be returned, and a block containing any versioned transaction will prompt an error.

## Returns

`result` Null if the specified block is not confirmed otherwise RpcResponse JSON object with the following fields:

* `blockTime` The estimated production time, as Unix timestamp (seconds since the Unix epoch). It's null if not available.
* `meta` The transaction status metadata object, which contains additional information about the block and its transactions. The meta object can be null, or it may contain the following fields:
  * `err` Error code if the transaction failed or null if the transaction succeeds.
  * `fee` The total fees paid by all transactions in the block encoded as u64 integer.
  * `innerInstructions` An array of objects representing the inner instructions of all transactions in the block (omitted if inner instruction recording is not enabled). Each object has the following fields:
    * `index` The index of the instruction in the transaction, which determines the order in which the operations were executed.
    * `instructions` An array of instructions that were executed in the block's transactions.
    * `parsed` An array of parsed instructions that were executed in the block's transactions.
      * `info` An array of information objects that provide additional details about the transactions in the block.
        * `lamports` The number of lamports assigned to this account as u64 (64-bit unsigned integer).
        * `newAccount` The new account created as part of the transaction.
        * `owner` The base-58 encoded Pubkey of the program this account has been assigned to.
        * `source` The source account that funded the transaction.
        * `space` The amount of storage space required to store a specific transaction.
      * `type` The type of the block. It can be used to differentiate between regular blocks and special blocks such as snapshot or transaction confirmation blocks.
    * `program` The data associated with the program that was executed in the block's transactions.
    * `programId` The ID of the program that executed the instruction.
    * `stackHeight` The current depth of the execution stack.
  * `logMessages` An array of strings containing any log messages generated by the block's transactions (omitted if inner instruction recording is not enabled).
  * `postBalances` An array of lamport balances for each account in the block after the transactions were processed.
  * `postTokenBalances` An array of token balances for each token account in the block after the transactions were processed (omitted if inner instruction recording is not enabled).
    * `accountIndex` The index of an account within a transaction.
    * `mint` Provides information about the creation of new tokens.
    * `owner` The base-58 encoded Pubkey of the program this account has been assigned to.
    * `uiTokenAmount` The amount of a token transfer in a human-readable format.
      * `amount` The amount of a token transfer.
      * `decimals` The number of decimal places used by the token.
      * `uiAmount` The amount of a token transfer in the smallest unit of the token.
      * `uiAmountString` The amount of a token transfer as a string with the appropriate number of decimal places for the token.
  * `preBalances` An array of lamport balances for each account in the block before the transactions were processed.
  * `preTokenBalances` An array of token balances for each token account in the block before the transactions were processed (omitted if inner instruction recording is not enabled).
    * `accountIndex` The index of an account within a transaction.
      * `mint` Provides information about the creation of new tokens.
      * `owner` The base-58 encoded Pubkey of the program this account has been assigned to.
      * `uiTokenAmount` The amount of a token transfer in a human-readable format.
        * `amount` The amount of a token transfer.
        * `decimals` The number of decimal places used by the token.
        * `uiAmount` The amount of a token transfer in the smallest unit of the token.
        * `uiAmountString` The amount of a token transfer as a string with the appropriate number of decimal places for the token.
  * `rewards` An object containing information about the rewards earned by the block's validators (only present if the rewards are requested).
  * `status` The status of the transaction. If the transaction was successful, returns Ok and if the transaction failed with TransactionError, returns Err.
* `slot` The slot number to retrieve block production information.
* `transaction` The transaction object. It could be either JSON format or encoded binary data, depending on the encoding parameter.
  * `message` An array of transactions included in the block.
    * `accountKeys` An array of public keys associated with the accounts that were accessed during the execution of transactions in the block.
      * `pubkey` The Pubkey of program encoded as base-58 string.
      * `signer` Used to sign transactions in the block. Also used to identify the signers involved in the block's transactions and to verify the authenticity of the signatures.
      * `source` The source account that funded the transaction.
      * `writable` A boolean value that indicates whether the accounts associated with the given public keys were modified by the transactions or not.
    * `instructions` An array of instructions that were executed in the block's transactions.
      * `parsed` An array of parsed instructions that were executed in the block's transactions.
        * `info` An array of information objects that provide additional details about the transactions in the block.
          * `account` An address on the Solana blockchain that is used to store assets.
          * `mint` Provides information about the creation of new tokens.

        * `type` The type of the block. It can be used to differentiate between regular blocks and special blocks such as snapshot or transaction confirmation blocks.
      * `program` The data associated with the program that was executed in the block's transactions.
      * `programId` The ID of the program that executed the instruction.
    * `recentBlockhash` The recent block hash for the account's cluster.
