# getTransaction
## getTransaction RPC Method
> Returns transaction details for a confirmed transaction signature. Provides comprehensive information about the transaction including its status, fees, logs, and account changes. This method is essential for transaction explorers, wallets, and dApps that need to analyze transaction execution details.\
> \
> \*\*Important\*\*: For most modern Solana transactions, you must include maxSupportedTransactionVersion: 0 in the request parameters, otherwise the request will fail with an error if the transaction is a versioned transaction.
