eth_getTransactionCount

Returns the number of transactions sent from an address.

For Growth and Custom service plans

This JSON-RPC method allows a request to be forwarded to a partner service provider if Infura should experience a service issue or outage. See Failover protection and Enable API request forwarding for complete details.

If you would like failover protection but don't qualify under your current plan, then either self-upgrade to the Growth plan or contact a sales representative to upgrade to a Custom plan.

Parameters​

  • address: [Required] A string representing the address (20 bytes).
  • block parameter: [Required] A hexadecimal block number, or one of the string tags latest, earliest, pending, safe, or finalized. See the default block parameter.

Returns​

transaction count: A hexadecimal equivalent of the integer representing the number of transactions sent from the given address.

Replace <YOUR-API-KEY> with an API key from your MetaMask Developer dashboard.
