Ethereum: How do I lookup the details of a transaction, given the transaction ID?

How ​​to Find the Status of an Ethereum Transaction with a Specific ID

As a user of cryptocurrency exchanges like GDAX, you are probably familiar with the concept of transactions and how they are processed on the Ethereum network. However, sometimes you may need more information about the status of a specific transaction, especially if it has been successfully completed but you want to confirm the details of it. In this article, we will walk you through the steps on how to find out the status of an Ethereum transaction with a unique identifier.

What is a Transaction ID?

A Transaction ID (TXID) is a 36-byte string that uniquely identifies each transaction on the blockchain. It is generated by the Ethereum network when a new transaction is created and contains information about the sender, recipient, amount, gas price, gas limit, and other details.

Steps to Find the Status of an Ethereum Transaction with a Specific ID

• Check your GDAX account: Log in to your GDAX account. If you have already transferred BTC from GDAX to Binance using this transaction ID, you can check the status of the transfer by going to your account settings and going to “History” or “Transaction History”

• Use GDAX API (optional): If you are familiar with programming, you can use GDAX API to retrieve transaction details programmatically. You will need to register for an API key on their website and then use a library like axios in Node.js or curl in your terminal to send a GET request to the /api/transactions/{txid} endpoint.

• Check Binance ‘Transaction History’

  : If you have transferred BTC from GDAX to Binance, please check the ‘Transaction History’ section of their website. This will show you all the transactions made on the platform, including completed and failed transactions like yours.

• Look for transaction details in your account settings: Sometimes transaction information is stored in your account settings or in your account overview.

What to look for

When checking the status of an Ethereum transaction with a specific ID, you will want to focus on the following details:

• status: This field indicates whether the transaction was successful (e.g. “completed”) or failed.

• gas_price and gas_limit: These fields indicate how much gas was used in the transaction.

• from, to and amount: These fields indicate the sender, recipient and the amount of BTC involved in the transaction.

By using these steps and checking for the appropriate details, you should be able to determine whether your Ethereum transaction with a specific ID was successful or not.
