Returns the receipt of a transaction by its hash. The receipt contains the execution result, including status, gas used, and event logs. Only available for confirmed transactions.

Parameters

Returns

object -- A transaction receipt object, or null if the transaction is not found or is still pending. The object contains:

Notes

• Returns null for pending transactions. A null result means the transaction either does not exist or has not yet been included in a block. Poll this method to wait for transaction confirmation.
• The status field indicates execution success ("0x1") or failure/revert ("0x0"). Failed transactions are still included in the block and consume gas.
• The logs array is essential for tracking token transfers and contract events. Each log contains topics and data that must be ABI-decoded.
• The contractAddress field is only populated for contract creation transactions (where to is null).
• Use eth_getTransactionByHash to get the original transaction data (value, input, gas limit). The receipt provides the execution outcome.
