How to use it

// yarn add @tatumio/tatum

import { TatumSDK, Base, Network } from "@tatumio/tatum";

const tatum = await TatumSDK.init<Base>({ network: Network.BASE });

const tx = await tatum.rpc.getTransactionByBlockNumberAndIndex("0xb2e214", 0);

await tatum.destroy(); // Destroy Tatum SDK - needed for stopping background jobs

Overview

eth_getTransactionByBlockHashAndIndex is an method that allows you to fetch the transaction details based on the block hash and the index of the transaction within that block.

4. blockNumber: The block number in which this transaction is included.
5. transactionIndex: The index of the transaction within the block.
6. from: The address of the sender.
7. to: The address of the recipient. null if the transaction is a contract creation transaction.
