## Parameters

<ParamField body="transaction" type="string" required>
  Solana transaction signature as a base-58 encoded string for lookup.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="transaction" type="string" required>
  Encoding format for the returned Solana transaction data.

  * `json`
  * `jsonParsed`
  * `base64`
  * `base58`
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="commitment" type="string">
  Blockchain commitment level for transaction finality verification.

  * `confirmed`
  * `finalized`
