Use cases for eth_getTransactionReceipt
eth_getTransactionReceipt
- Retrieve general information about a transaction: This can also be used to get general information about a transaction or to track the status of a transaction since the result will be
null
until the transaction is mined. However, using the Mined Transaction Webhook is a better option for tracking the status of a transaction. Unlikeeth_getTransactionByHash
, which returnsnull
for unknown transactions, and a non-null response with three (3)null
fields for a pending transaction,eth_getTransactionReceipt
returnsnull
for both pending and unknown transactions. - This call can also be used to get the contract address for a contract creation tx. However, if you use tools like Hardhat to deploy the contracts, you can get the address of the newly created contract by using the Hardhat toolbox.
Note
The receipt is not available for pending transactions.
