# gettransactions - TON

This method returns historical transactions for a given address. Pagination uses the `lt` (logical time) and `hash` cursor, with `to_lt` as an inclusive lower bound. Set `archival=true` to query historical data older than the standard retention window.

{% tab title="@ton/ton (JavaScript)" %}

```javascript
import { TonClient } from '@ton/ton';

const client = new TonClient({
    endpoint: 'https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/'
