# eth\_getTransactionByHash

The `eth_getTransactionByHash` command returns information about a requested transaction based on its transaction hash. If the transaction is pending, `blockHash`, `blockNumber`, and `transactionIndex` will be **null**. 

As an alternative to `eth_getTransactionByHash`, `eth_getTransactionByBlockNumberAndIndex` is recommended for older transactions.

### Parameters

`DATA`, 32 Bytes - hash of a transaction

```javascript
params: [
    "0x88df016429689c079f3b2f6ad39fa052532c56795b733da78a91ebe6a713944b"
]
```

### Returns

`Object` - A transaction object, or null when no transaction was found:

* `blockHash`: `DATA`, 32 Bytes - hash of the block where this transaction was in. null when its pending.
* `blockNumber`: `QUANTITY` - block number where this transaction was in. null when it's pending.
* `from`: `DATA`, 20 Bytes - address of the sender.
* `gas`: `QUANTITY` - gas provided by the sender.
* `gasPrice`: `QUANTITY` - gas price provided by the sender in Wei.
* `hash`: `DATA`, 32 Bytes - hash of the transaction.
* `input`: `DATA` - the data send along with the transaction.
* `nonce`: `QUANTITY` - the number of transactions made by the sender prior to this one.
* `to`: `DATA`, 20 Bytes - address of the receiver. null when it's a contract creation transaction.
* `transactionIndex`: `QUANTITY` - integer of the transactions index position in the block. null when its pending.
* `value`: `QUANTITY` - value transferred in Wei.
* `v`: `QUANTITY` - ECDSA recovery id
* `r`: `DATA`, 32 Bytes - ECDSA signature r
* `s`: `DATA`, 32 Bytes - ECDSA signature s
