The getrawtransaction RPC returns the raw transaction data.
getrawtransaction "txid" ( verbose "blockhash" )
*bitcoin-cli help getrawtransaction
getrawtransaction "txid" ( verbose "blockhash" )
Return the raw transaction data.
By default, this call only returns a transaction if it is in the mempool. If -txindex is enabled
and no blockhash argument is passed, it will return the transaction if it is in the mempool or any block.
If a blockhash argument is passed, it will return the transaction if
the specified block is available and the transaction is in that block.
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):
"str" (string) The serialized, hex-encoded data for 'txid'
