Recommended Alternatives

Use account_tx Instead

const xrpl = require('xrpl');

async function getTransactions() {
    const client = new xrpl.Client('wss://xrplcluster.com');
    await client.connect();
    
    const response = await client.request({
        command: 'account_tx',
        account: 'rN7n7otQDd6FczFgLdSqtcsAUxDkw6fzRH',
        limit: 20
    });
    
    console.log('Transactions:', response.result.transactions);
    await client.disconnect();
}

getTransactions();

Use ledger with transactions

const xrpl = require('xrpl');

async function getLedgerTx() {
    const client = new xrpl.Client('wss://xrplcluster.com');
    await client.connect();
    
    const response = await client.request({
        command: 'ledger',
        ledger_index: 'validated',
        transactions: true,
        expand: true
    });
    
    console.log('Transactions:', response.result.ledger.transactions);
    await client.disconnect();
}

getLedgerTx();
