Ethereum Geth - pending Transactions

My question is: How can I see pending transactions in geth and how can I see my transactions at the blocks? I tried it but I can't see them?

I found the Managment API but I also can't see the pending tx. I also tried to check my old transactions from my wallet address and they are also not shown! Do I need to configure geth in any way? I have not changed anything in the config file!

Solution

  • I believe this is what you need:

    • eth.pendingTransactions
    • eth.pendingTransactions.length

    Example from my Geth

    To filter the transactions sent from your address, you can use this snippet:

    m = 796100 // starting block, it's better not start from 0, it's time consuming
n = eth.blockNumber // the 'latest' block

for (var i = m; i < n; i++) {
    var block = eth.getBlock(i, true);
    for (var j = 0; j < block.transactions.length; j++) {
        if (block.transactions[j].from == "0x...") {
            txs.push(block.transactions[j]);
        }
    }
}

    In below example, I want to catch all transactions sent from 0xebe78a89cecaf67bb79881d7440ba14486d21b7e between block number 796100 to latest block (796297):

    Notes:

    • Geth works best with one-liner JavaScript code. That's why my JS code above is in one line.
