# eth\_getTransactionByBlockHashAndIndex - ARC

Example code for the eth\_getTransactionByBlockHashAndIndex JSON-RPC method. Complete guide on how to use eth\_getTransactionByBlockHashAndIndex JSON-RPC in GetBlock Web3 documentation.

This method returns transaction details by block hash and the transaction's index within that block.
