getTransaction

The getTransaction method provides details about the specified transaction. Clients are expected to periodically query this method to ascertain when a transaction has been successfully recorded on the blockchain. The soroban-rpc system maintains a restricted history of recently processed transactions, with the default retention window set at 1440 ledgers, approximately equivalent to a 2-hour timeframe. For private soroban-rpc instances, it is possible to modify the retention window value by adjusting the transaction-retention-window configuration setting. For comprehensive debugging needs that extend beyond the 2-hour timeframe, it is advisable to retrieve transaction information from Horizon, as it provides a lasting and persistent record.

Params

SDK Guide

The example above is querying details of a transaction using RPC methods directly. If you are using the Stellar SDK to build applications, you can use the native functions to get the same information.

# pip install --upgrade stellar-sdk
from stellar_sdk import SorobanServer, soroban_rpc


def get_transaction(hash: str) -> soroban_rpc.GetTransactionResponse:
server = SorobanServer(server_url='https://soroban-testnet.stellar.org', client=None)
tx = server.get_transaction(hash)
return tx

tx = get_transaction("6bc97bddc21811c626839baf4ab574f4f9f7ddbebb44d286ae504396d4e752da")

print("result", tx.status)
