Thanks. Got it. I also noticed that the server.version indicating a client supporting version 1.2 protocol and above before sending the above blockchain.transaction.get with verbose=true enabled for it to work.

# Requesting for verbose output from ElectrumX

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-06-03)

I am trying to request for information regarding a particular transaction in verbose mode from an ElectrumX server with protocol v1.2 and above.

I have checked the version via a `server.version` to ensure that the protocol is `1.2`

```
{"method":"server.version","id":0,"params":["Test01","1.2"]}

```

With server replying:

```
{"result":["ElectrumX 1.4.3","1.2"],"id":0,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}

```

And it has a feature list of:

```
{"result":{"pruning":null,"protocol_max":"1.2","protocol_min":"1.0","genesis_hash":"000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce26f","hosts":{"electrum.poorcoding.com":{"tcp_port":50001,"ssl_port":50002},"ruuxwv74pjxms3ws.onion":{"tcp_port":50001,"ssl_port":10042}},"hash_function":"sha256","server_version":"ElectrumX 1.4.3"},"id":0,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}

```

I tried to issue the following JSON-RPC command:

```
{"method":"blockchain.transaction.get","id":0,"params":["fc992bd10bbcbd54ee2279de497ad4bd49ce6a64c27f2a2d3293f761d2a5a3a3"],"verbose":true}

```

The result wasn't the verbose mode I was expecting:

```

The documentation page was lacking of sample on how to use the verbose mode:

<https://electrumx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/protocol-methods.html#blockchain-transaction-get>

I would assume the command I issued might have a problem or is the server simply issuing a `1.2` protocol but refusing to honor the `verbose=true` parameter which the documentation have specified ?

You should set `verbose=true` inside `params` array, try as follows:

```
{"method":"blockchain.transaction.get","id":0,"params":["fc992bd10bbcbd54ee2279de497ad4bd49ce6a64c27f2a2d3293f761d2a5a3a3","verbose":true]}
