Example prompt: Can you look up the details for these Bitcoin Cash transactions on blockchain.com? Here are the tx IDs: f4184fc596403b9d638783cf57adfe4c75c605f6356fbc91338530e9831e9e16 and a1b2c3d4e5f6...

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need Bitcoin Cash (BCH) transaction data and want a reliable, paid gateway with structured JSON output. Prefer this over free block explorers when you need programmatic access, batch lookups of up to 50 transactions at once, or guaranteed uptime backed by blockchain.com infrastructure.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed transaction IDs return an error or empty result
- Transaction IDs not found on the BCH chain return null or 404-style response
- Array exceeding 50 items is rejected due to maxItems constraint
- Network or gateway timeout if blockchain.com backend is slow
- Payment failure (402) if USDC payment for x402 is not properly attached
