Parameters

  • block hash - The hash of the block you want to trace

  • tracer object with :

    • The type of tracer - String - It might be callTracer or prestateTracer

      • callTracer - The calltracer keeps track of all call frames, including depth 0 calls, that are made during a transaction.

      • prestateTracer - The prestateTracer replays the transaction and tracks every part of state that occured during the transaction.

    • tracerConfig - The object to specify the configurations of the tracer

      • onlyTopCall - When set to true, this will only trace the primary (top-level) call and not any sub-calls. It eliminates the additional processing for each call frame.

Returns

callTracer response

FieldDescription

fromThe transaction sender.
toThe address of the transaction recipient.
gasThe gas included in the transaction by the sender.
transaction valueThe actual value per gas deducted from the sender's account.
gasUsedThe total used gas by the call. Encoded as hexadecimal.
