Authorizations

ApiKeyAuthApiKeyAuth

api-key string

NOWNodes API key passed in the api-key header.

Retrieves a raw transaction by its txid. If verbose is false or omitted, the result is a hexadecimal transaction string. With verbose=true, the result is a decoded transaction object. For a transaction currently in the node mempool, Bitcoin Core 32.1 adds optional vsize_adjusted (virtual size adjusted for sigops). vsize remains the BIP141 virtual size. The field vsize_adjusted is not guaranteed for confirmed transactions or transactions outside the mempool.
