This can also be used to track the status of a transaction, since result will be null until the transaction is mined. However, unlike eth_getTransactionByHash , which returns null for unknown transactions, and a non-null response with 3 null fields for a pending transaction, eth_getTransactionReceipt returns null for both pending and unknown transactions.

This call is also commonly used to get the contract address for a contract creation tx.

Note: the receipt is not available for pending transactions.

Parameters

DATA, 32 Bytes - hash of a transaction

params: ["0x964f00fbe2883098c7f4f552f954f9f9a9d20e1ba7ca397706d07a74202f1796"];

Returns

Object - A transaction receipt object, or null when no receipt was found:

transactionHash: DATA, 32 Bytes - Hash of the transaction.
transactionIndex: QUANTITY - Integer of the transactions index position in the block.
blockHash: DATA, 32 Bytes - Hash of the block where this transaction was in.
blockNumber: QUANTITY - Block number where this transaction was in.
from: DATA, 20 Bytes - Address of the sender.
to: DATA, 20 Bytes - Address of the receiver. Null when its a contract creation transaction.
cumulativeGasUsed: QUANTITY - The total amount of gas used when this transaction was executed in the block.
gasUsed: QUANTITY - The amount of gas used by this specific transaction alone.
contractAddress: DATA, 20 Bytes - The contract address created, if the transaction was a contract creation, otherwise null.
logs: Array - Array of log objects, which this transaction generated.
logsBloom: DATA, 256 Bytes - Bloom filter for light clients to quickly retrieve related logs.

It also returns either:

root : DATA 32 bytes of post-transaction stateroot (pre Byzantium)
status: QUANTITY either 1 (success) or 0 (failure)
