# trace_get - Tempo RPC Method

Returns a trace at a specific position within a transaction on Tempo.

This method requires an archive node. It is not available on full nodes.

## When to Use This Method

- **Get a specific trace by transaction hash and trace index** - Retrieve individual trace entries from a transaction on Tempo
- **Pinpoint specific internal calls** - Isolate a particular sub-call at a known position in the call tree for merchant settlement, treasury operations, payout automation, and stablecoin-native financial applications
- **Targeted debugging** - Investigate a specific call depth without retrieving the full transaction trace
- **Combine with trace\_transaction** - Discover trace indices from the full trace, then fetch details individually

## Best Practices

- Requires knowing the trace address and index in advance
- Combine with trace\_transaction to discover trace indices first
- Supports fetching multiple traces by passing an array of indices
- Requires archive node access; not available on standard full nodes

## Request Parameters

- `txHash` (`DATA, required`): 32-byte transaction hash
- `indices` (`Array<QUANTITY>, required`): Trace index positions (e.g., ["0x0"] for the first trace)
