# api/v2/tx-specific - Bitcoin

Example code for the api/v2/tx-specific REST method. Complete guide on how to use the api/v2/tx-specific REST method in the GetBlock Web3 documentation.

This endpoint returns the transaction exactly as the Bitcoin node reports it, in the node's own JSON shape rather than the indexer's normalized schema.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type   | Location | Required | Description        |
| --------- | ------ | -------- | -------- | ------------------ |
| txid      | string | path     | Yes      | The transaction id |

## Response Parameters

| Field         | Type    | Description                                                          |
| ------------- | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| txid          | string  | The transaction id                                                   |
| version       | integer | Transaction version                                                  |
| vin           | array   | Raw inputs as reported by the node                                   |
| vout          | array   | Raw outputs with node-native scriptPubKey and BTC-denominated values |
| confirmations | integer | Number of confirmations                                              |

## Use Cases

* **Node Parity**: Read the node's exact transaction JSON for compatibility
* **Script Inspection**: Access native scriptPubKey fields not in the normalized schema
* **Migration**: Match output from a direct node integration during a switch
* **Debugging**: Compare normalized and node-native views of a transaction

## Error Handling
