# signatureSubscribe

(Subscription Websocket) Subscribe to a transaction signature to receive notification when the transaction is confirmed. Note: On signatureNotification, the subscription is automatically cancelled.

This method will use `20` [Compute Units](/v1/about/billing.md).

***

## **Parameters**

* `tx_sig` 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.

## Returns

`result` The result will be an RpcResponse JSON object with id equal to the subscription id (needed to unsubscribe).

`Notification Format:`

* `result` Error if the transaction failed and null if the transaction succeeded.

// Result
{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "result": 0, "id": 1 }

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.validationcloud.io/v1/solana/websocket-stable-methods/signaturesubscribe.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
