Querying a transaction

Gets the current state of a previously sent asynchronous transaction request.

await api.poll.requestState(requestId);
important

To query a transaction, you would need the request id returned after submitting your transaction to the AVN.

You can get the AVN_GATEWAY_URL here.

Result Fields

  • txHash : string representing the transaction hash.
  • status : string detailing the current status.
  • blockNumber : [if status is 'Processed' or 'Rejected'] - string integer representing the block number containing this transaction.
  • transactionIndex : [if status is 'Processed' or 'Rejected'] - string integer representing the (zero-based) index of this transaction in the block.
  • senderNonce : string representing the nonce of the sender account.
  • eventArgs : an object containing values returned as a result of the transaction.

Possible STATUS Outcomes

The resulting state could be any of the following:

  • Pending - Transaction has been sent via the Gateway and is yet to be fully processed.
  • Rejected - The transaction has been rejected by the blockchain.
  • Processed - The transaction has been processed successfully by the blockchain.
  • Transaction not found - The transaction relating to the supplied request-id cannot be found.
  • awaitingToSend - The transaction has yet to be sent to the blockchain.
  • Validating - This state is restricted to cross-chain transactions.
