getrawtransaction

Note

NOTE: By default this function only works for mempool transactions. If the -txindex option is enabled, it also works for blockchain transactions.

Warning

DEPRECATED: for now, it also works for transactions with unspent outputs.

Return the raw transaction data.

  • If verbose is 'true', returns an Object with information about 'txid'.

  • If verbose is 'false' or omitted, returns a string that is serialized, hex-encoded data for 'txid'.

Arguments:

1. "txid"      (string, required) The transaction id
2. verbose       (bool, optional, default=false) If false, return a string, otherwise return a json object

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

"data"      (string) The serialized, hex-encoded data for 'txid'

Result (if verbose is set to true):
