getTransactionParams

How to use it

// Import required libraries and modules from Tatum SDK
import { TatumSDK, AlgorandAlgod, Network } from '@tatumio/tatum';

// Initialize the Tatum SDK for Algorand
const tatum = await TatumSDK.init<AlgorandAlgod>({ network: Network.ALGORAND_ALGOD });

// Retrieve transaction parameters for constructing a new transaction
const transactionParams = await tatum.rpc.getTransactionParams();

// Log the transaction parameters
console.log('Transaction Parameters:', transactionParams);

// Always destroy the Tatum SDK instance when done to stop any background processes
await tatum.destroy();

Overview

Return Object

The method returns an object representing the parameters that help a client construct a new transaction in Algorand. The returned object includes the following properties:

• consensus-version (string): Indicates the consensus protocol version as of LastRound.
• fee (integer): The suggested transaction fee. The fee is in units of micro-Algos per byte. The fee may fall to zero but transactions must still have a fee of at least MinTxnFee for the current network protocol.
• genesis-hash (string): The hash of the genesis block.
• genesis-id (string): An ID listed in the genesis block.
• last-round (integer): Indicates the last round seen.
• min-fee (integer): The minimum transaction fee (not per byte) required for the transaction to validate for the current network protocol.

Please note that the structure of the returned object may change in different Algorand RPC versions.
