# getSignatureStatuses - Solana

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

This method returns the processing status of up to 256 transaction signatures. Signatures outside the node's recent status cache return null unless searchTransactionHistory is enabled.

| signatures | array  | Yes      | Array of up to 256 base58-encoded transaction signatures |
| config     | object | No       | Configuration object controlling history search          |

### Config Object

| --------- | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| jsonrpc   | string | JSON-RPC protocol version ("2.0")                                             |
| id        | string | Request identifier matching the request                                       |
| result    | object | RPC response object where value is an array of status objects or null entries |

### Status Entry

| Field              | Type   | Description                                             |
| ------------------ | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| slot               | number | Slot the transaction was processed in                   |
| confirmations      | number | null                                                    |

| confirmationStatus | string | Confirmation status: processed, confirmed, or finalized |

## Use Cases

* **Send Confirmation**: Poll a signature after sendTransaction until it reaches finalized
* **Batch Settlement**: Check up to 256 payout signatures in a single request
* **Retry Decisions**: Distinguish dropped transactions from failed ones before rebroadcasting
* **Error Surfacing**: Read the err object to report an InstructionError back to a user
