getrawtransaction "txid" ( verbose "blockhash" )
Return the raw transaction data.
By default this function only works for mempool transactions. When called with a blockhash
argument, getrawtransaction will return the transaction if the specified block is available and
the transaction is found in that block. When called without a blockhash argument, getrawtransaction
will return the transaction if it is in the mempool, or if -txindex is enabled and the transaction
is in a block in the blockchain.
Hint: Use gettransaction for wallet transactions.
If verbose is 'true', returns an Object with information about 'txid'.
If verbose is 'false' or omitted, returns a string that is serialized, hex-encoded data for 'txid'.
Arguments:
1. txid (string, required) The transaction id
2. verbose (boolean, optional, default=false) If false, return a string, otherwise return a json object
3. blockhash (string, optional) The block in which to look for the transaction
Result (if verbose is not set or set to false):
"data" (string) The serialized, hex-encoded data for 'txid'
Result (if verbose is set to true):
