ethgetTransactionByHash

EthgetTransaction is a function within the Ethereum ecosystem, specifically part of the Web3.js library, which is a collection of libraries that allow you to interact with a local or remote Ethereum node using HTTP, IPC, or WebSocket. The function is used to retrieve information about a specific transaction on the Ethereum blockchain. It takes a single parameter, which is the transaction hash, a unique identifier for each transaction on the Ethereum network. The function returns a promise that resolves to an object containing various details about the transaction, such as the sender's address, the recipient's address, the amount of Ether transferred, the gas limit, the gas price, and the transaction status. This function is particularly useful for developers who need to verify the status of a transaction or retrieve detailed information about it. It is important to note that the function only works with transactions that have been included in a block, as pending transactions are not yet part of the blockchain. Additionally, the function can be used with both mainnet and testnet networks.
