# eth\_getTransactionByHash - Arbitrum

This method retrieves the full details of a transaction using its transaction hash. This endpoint is one of the most frequently used methods when tracking transaction progress, debugging smart contracts, or building explorers.

#### Parameters

| Parameter | Type   | Required | Description                                                                                       |
| --------- | ------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| tx\_hash  | string | yes      | The hash of the transaction to retrieve. Must be a 32-byte hex encoded string prefixed with `0x`. |

#### Use case

The `eth_getTransactionByHash` :

* Track a transaction using only its hash
* Build user dashboards showing live transaction updates
* Debug smart contract interactions using transaction input data
* Power explorers that index and display transaction details
* Determine whether a transaction has been mined or is still pending
* Analyze gas usage patterns and sender behavior

#### Error handling

| Status Code | Error Message    | Cause                                         |
| ----------- | ---------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| 403         | Forbidden        | Missing or invalid ACCESS\_TOKEN.             |
| -32602      | Invalid argument | <ul><li>Transaction hash is invalid</li></ul> |

#### Integration with Web3

The `eth_getTransactionByHash` method helps developers to:

* Build trustless frontends that check transaction status directly
* Track pending, failed, or confirmed transactions in real time
* Support dashboards, DeFi interfaces, wallets, and explorers
* Read transaction calldata for analytics and debugging
* Improve UX by notifying users instantly when their transaction is included
* Verify transaction ordering for MEV, priority fees, and gas bidding strategies
