Error No such mempool transaction. Use -txindex to enable blockchain transaction queries. Use gettransaction for wallet transactions.

use 

txindex = 1

in you bitcoin.conf file and restart daemon with -reindex flag if you are building it for the first time, it might take a while but after txindex is defined you can get data for any transaction in blockchain no matter if its related to your wallet or not.

Alternetivly you can start your daemon with 

 bitcoind -daemon -txindex=1 -reindex=1

Either way it functions the same

  • Always I have to add the -txindex flag to restart the daemon. Currently i am using bitcoind -deprecatedrpc=accounts to start a daemon – Lalit Mohan Feb 21 '19 at 06:53
  • "Use -txindex to enable blockchain transaction queries." line has been removed from the error But I am still getting the following error "No such mempool or blockchain transaction. Use gettransaction for wallet transactions." – Lalit Mohan Feb 21 '19 at 06:58
  • add txindex=1 and reindex=1 in your bitcoin.conf file, and make sure you start your daemon with -reindex=1 for the first time, it will take a while for your blockchain to reindex ,the progress can be seen in debug.log , after the reindexing is done you should not encounter same error again – cryptoKTM Feb 21 '19 at 07:01
