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 BCH-denominated values
confirmations	integer	Number of confirmations
blocktime	integer	Block time as a Unix timestamp

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

400	Bad request	The transaction id is not a valid 64-character hex string
404	Not found	No transaction with the requested id is indexed
500	Internal error	The indexer failed to read the transaction
