Authorizations

ApiKeyAuthApiKeyAuth

api-key string

NOWNodes API key passed in the api-key header.

Changed. Transactions in the v4 format are now decoded correctly on runtimes that expose several transaction extension versions; before, they failed to decode. Request and response fields are unchanged.

Decode a raw transaction and return its components without executing or submitting it. Returns the decoded pallet/method, call arguments, signature info, nonce, tip, era, and hash. Note: This endpoint uses the chain's current (latest) metadata for decoding. Transactions created for older runtime versions may fail to decode if the extrinsic format has changed.
