# eth\_getTransactionReceipt

## Summary

Returns a transaction receipt by hash.

The public MegaETH endpoint supports this method. The standard, node, and gateway layers below identify behavior that differs from a generic Ethereum endpoint.

## Parameters

**`transactionHash`** Hash32 **REQUIRED**

Hash of the target transaction.

## Result

`Receipt | null` — `null` when the transaction is unknown or not yet mined.

* **`transactionHash`** Hash32

  Transaction hash.
* **`status`** Quantity

  A nonzero status indicates success; zero indicates that execution reverted.
* **`blockHash`** Hash32

  Containing block hash.
* **`blockNumber`** Quantity

  Containing block number.
* **`from`** Address

  Sender.
* **`to`** Address | null

  Recipient; `null` for contract creation.
* **`gasUsed`** Quantity

  Gas consumed by this transaction.
* **`effectiveGasPrice`** Quantity

  Effective gas price.
* **`contractAddress`** Address | null

  Created contract address when applicable.
* **`logs`** Log\[]

  Emitted log entries.

Additional fields include `cumulativeGasUsed`, `logsBloom`, `type`, and L1 fee fields (`l1Fee`, `l1GasPrice`, `l1GasUsed`, etc.).

## Comparison with Ethereum Standard JSON-RPC

### Ethereum Standard

The canonical Ethereum method uses the parameter and result contract documented above, including the stated `null`, `false`, or zero-value semantics where applicable.

### MegaETH Node Behavior

The node returns `null` until a receipt is visible. Receipts produced from a real-time mini-block may temporarily use the all-`ff` block-hash placeholder until the EVM block seals.

### MegaETH Public Gateway

The gateway first checks its receipt cache, forwards misses upstream, and caches non-null receipts for 30 minutes. A `null` result is not cached.

## Errors

The `| Scope |` column distinguishes method failures from gateway policy errors.

| Code     | Scope            | Message             | When it happens                                             |
| -------- | ---------------- | ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| `-32602` | Request          | Invalid params      | Transaction hash is missing or malformed                    |
| `-32005` | Transport/policy | Rate limit exceeded | The caller exceeds the public gateway's simple read budget. |
| `-32099` | Transport/policy | Payload too large   | The request body exceeds the 128 KiB public endpoint limit. |

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.megaeth.com/developer-docs/rpc/reference/eth_gettransactionreceipt.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
