# getTransaction - Solana

This method returns a confirmed transaction by signature, including its instructions, account keys, logs, and balance changes. Versioned transactions require `maxSupportedTransactionVersion` to be set.

## Parameters

| --------- | ------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| signature | string | Yes      | Base58-encoded transaction signature                          |
| config    | object | No       | Configuration object controlling encoding and version support |

## Response Parameters

| Parameter | Type   | Description                             |
| --------- | ------ | --------------------------------------- |
| jsonrpc   | string | JSON-RPC protocol version ("2.0")       |
| id        | string | Request identifier matching the request |
| result    | object | null                                    |

### Result Object

| Field       | Type   | Description                                                         |
| ----------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| slot        | number | Slot containing the transaction                                     |
| blockTime   | number | null                                                                |
| transaction | object | Transaction message and signatures in the requested encoding        |
| meta        | object | Execution metadata including fee, balances, logs, and compute units |
| version     | number | string                                                              |

## Use Cases

* **Receipt Rendering**: Display instruction-level detail for a completed transfer
* **Log Inspection**: Read `logMessages` to debug a failing program invocation
* **Balance Deltas**: Compare `preBalances` and `postBalances` to compute net movement
* **Compute Budgeting**: Read `computeUnitsConsumed` to right-size a compute unit limit
* **Token Transfer Parsing**: Use `jsonParsed` encoding to extract SPL Token transfer amounts

## Error Handling

| Error Code | Message                                                           | Description                                                              |

| -32015     | Transaction version (0) is not supported by the requesting client | `maxSupportedTransactionVersion` was omitted for a versioned transaction |
| -32011     | Transaction history is not available from this node               | The node does not retain the ledger range containing the signature       |
| -32603     | Internal error                                                    | Node failed to read the transaction from blockstore                      |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.getblock.io/api-reference/solana-sol/gettransaction-solana.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
