Transaction Lookup

queryactivefree

Look up a transaction by hash to get its full details, metadata, and validation status.

What

Looks up a transaction by its hash — the unique 64-character fingerprint every transaction gets — and returns exactly what it did and whether it is final.

Why you'd use it

This is the ground truth for any 'did it go through?' question. A transaction hash plus this lookup settles every dispute.

How

Paste the Transaction Hash.
Run it and check two things: validated must be true (final), and meta.TransactionResult must be tesSUCCESS (it worked).
For payments, read meta.delivered_amount — the amount that actually arrived.

Watch out

A found transaction is not a successful one — tec* results are recorded on-ledger too, having done nothing but burn the fee.
Trust delivered_amount, never the Amount field — partial payments can legitimately deliver less than Amount says.
txnNotFound can mean a wrong hash, a transaction that never made it into a ledger, or a server whose history does not go back far enough.
XRP values in the raw response are in drops (1 XRP = 1,000,000 drops).

For example

A customer claims they paid you and pastes a hash as proof. You look it up: validated true, but the result is tecUNFUNDED_PAYMENT — the payment failed for lack of funds. The hash proved the opposite of their claim.
