A Transaction receipt gives data about the state after the transaction is mined, the hash of the trie which stores these receipts is included in the block headers. If you want to check the details of a pending transaction, then you can use eth_getTransaction method.

  • I need details about script that call to contract. In case Receipt, I can parse log messages and get information (at example about token transfers on ERC 20). Unconfirmed transaction also should be parsed is any other way then code own script parser?
