# How to Get a Blockchain Transaction by Hash

> Learn how to fetch detailed transaction data using a transaction hash with the Moralis API.

## Introduction

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to retrieve detailed information about any blockchain transaction using its hash. This is essential for building transaction explorers, tracking payments, or verifying on-chain activity in your application. We'll use the following Moralis API endpoint:

* [Get Transaction by Hash](/data-api/evm/blockchain/transaction-by-hash) - Fetch detailed transaction data using a transaction hash

## Prerequisites

* Node.js v18+ installed
* A Moralis API key ([get one free](https://admin.moralis.io))

## Step 1: Set Up Your Project

Create a new directory for your project and initialize it:

```bash theme={null}
mkdir get-transaction && cd get-transaction
npm init -y
```

## Step 2: Create the Script

Create a file called `index.js` and add the following code:

```javascript theme={null}
// index.js
const API_KEY = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
const TX_HASH = '0x5c504ed432cb51138bcf09aa5e8a410dd4a1e204ef84bfed1be16dfba1b22060';

async function getTransaction() {
  const response = await fetch(
    `https://deep-index.moralis.io/api/v2.2/transaction/${TX_HASH}?chain=eth`,
    {
      headers: {
        'X-API-Key': API_KEY,
      },
    }
  );

  const data = await response.json();
  console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));
}

getTransaction();
```

Replace `YOUR_API_KEY` with your actual Moralis API key.

## Step 3: Run the Script

Execute the script to fetch the transaction details:

```bash theme={null}
node index.js
```

## Example Response

```json theme={null}
{

}
```
