How can I see all transactions of every nodes?

Question

I need to see every metadata of every transaction through command. How can I do this without the explorer?

Answer 1

You can use getblock with the default verbose=true to retrieve a list of transaction IDs for each block, then retrieve the data for each of those transactions using getrawtransaction.

Alternatively use getblock with verbose=false to get the full block content in hexadecimal form, which you can then parse using any library which can parse bitcoin-formatted blocks.

Answer 2

MultiChain alpha 26 accepts some new parameters to the getblock API – if you set verbose=4 you will see a full description of every transaction in the block.
