Get a transaction by block hash and index

POST

https://vinu.nownodes.io/

Authorizations

ApiKeyAuthApiKeyAuth

api-key string

NOWNodes API key passed in the api-key header.

Retrieves the transaction from a block using the block's hash and the transaction's index position within the block.

Changed in the 29 August 2026 network upgrade.

authorizationList is returned on EIP-7702 set-code transactions (type: "0x4"), supported since the 29 August 2026 upgrade.
feeRefund is now omitted when the node has no refund value for the transaction - most visibly on transactions still in the pool, where "0x0" used to be returned. Treat a missing feeRefund as unknown, not as zero.
