getTransaction

Returns the complete transaction details for a confirmed transaction given its signature. This is the primary method for retrieving transaction information, supporting both legacy and versioned transactions. It returns the full transaction message, metadata (including pre/post balances, log messages, and inner instructions), slot, and block time. This method is essential for block explorers, transaction debugging, and building detailed transaction history views.
