bx fetch tx

Get transactions by hash.

$ bx fetch-tx --help

Usage: bx fetch-tx [-h] [--config VALUE] [--format VALUE] [HASH]...      

Info: Get transactions by hash. Requires an Obelisk server connection.   

Options (named):

-c [--config]        The path to the configuration settings file.        
-f [--format]        The output format. Options are 'json', 'xml', 'info'
                     or 'native', defaults to native.                    
-h [--help]          Get a description and instructions for this command.

Arguments (positional):

HASH                 The set of Base16 transaction hashes of transactions
                     to get. If not specified the transaction hashes are 
                     read from STDIN.

The native transaction format is base16. This allows the output of fetch-tx to be piped into other commands.
