Example Request and Response

Prerequisite: You will need to install the Alchemy SDK before making requests with it.

The commands for installing it using npm or yarn are given below:

npm install alchemy-sdk

Request

Here is an example of how to make a getTransactionReceipts request using the Alchemy SDK:

// Imports the Alchemy SDK
const { Alchemy, Network, Utils } = require("alchemy-sdk");

// Configures the Alchemy SDK
const config = {
    apiKey: "alchemy-replit", // Replace with your API key
    network: Network.ETH_MAINNET, // Replace with your network
};

// Creates an Alchemy object instance with the config to use for making requests
const alchemy = new Alchemy(config);

const main = async () => {
    //Define the params object
    const params = {
        // blockNumber
        blockNumber: "0x18760312114f3fdf11f9d5846245995835aa59994d5fc4203faee52d2f7eaabe"
    };

    //The response returns the transaction receipts of the `blockNumber`
    let response = await alchemy.core.getTransactionReceipts(params)

    //Logging the response to the console
    console.log(response)
};

main();

Use Cases

Here are some possible use cases for the getTransactionReceipts method:

  • Transaction Confirmation: You can use getTransactionReceipts to check if a transaction has been successfully confirmed by the EVM networks. A transaction receipt contains information such as the block number and transaction status, which can indicate if the transaction was successful or not.

  • Contract Interaction: When you interact with a smart contract on the EVM networks, you typically receive a transaction hash. You can use getTransactionReceipts to retrieve the transaction receipt for that hash, which contains the contract address and any events emitted by the contract during the transaction.

  • Transaction History: If you need to keep track of the transactions you have sent or received on the EVM networks, you can use getTransactionReceipts to retrieve the receipts for those transactions. You can then store this information in your application's database or use it to generate reports.
