Figure out transaction id after submitting using cardano cli

Question

It's possible to submit transactions using cardano cli. Here is an example (assumes you have gone through the steps to build the tx):

cardano-cli transaction submit --tx-file matx.signed --mainnet

I would like to follow up on the transaction after submitting. For that I need the transaction ID. Is there a way to derive or otherwise programatically figure out the transaction Id of a tx created in this manner?

Answer 1

For the above example, you would run:

cardano-cli transaction txid --tx-file matx.signed

If instead of inspecting a signed transaction you wish to inspect a transaction body / unsigned draft, it would look similar:

cardano-cli transaction txid --tx-body-file tx.draft

The Txid will be printed to stdout
