# eth\_getTransactionByBlockHashAndIndex - Ethereum

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

This method returns transaction data by block hash and transaction index within that block. Useful when iterating through a block's transactions without needing to first fetch the full block object.

## Parameters

| Parameter          | Type   | Required | Description                                              |
| ------------------ | ------ | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| `blockHash`        | string | Yes      | 32-byte block hash                                       |
| `transactionIndex` | string | Yes      | Hex-encoded transaction index within the block (0-based) |

## Use Cases

* **Reorg-Safe Transaction Iteration**: Iterate through a block's transactions by hash (immune to reorg confusion versus block-number lookups)
* **MEV Bundle Analysis**: Fetch specific top-of-block transactions (indices 0-3) to analyze block-space auctions
* **Positional Analytics**: Study where in a block certain contract calls appear (front-run vs back-run positions)

## Error Handling

| ---------- | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| -32602     | Invalid params | Block hash is malformed or transaction index is out of range |
| -32603     | Internal error | Node failed to look up the block or transaction              |
