+### SDK Guide
+
+The example above is querying details of a transaction using RPC methods directly. If you are using the Stellar SDK to build applications, you can use the native functions to get the same information.
+
+<div>
+<CodeExample>
+
+```python
+# pip install --upgrade stellar-sdk
+from stellar_sdk import SorobanServer, soroban_rpc
+
+
+def get_transaction(hash: str) -> soroban_rpc.GetTransactionResponse:
+    server = SorobanServer(server_url='https://soroban-testnet.stellar.org', client=None)
+    tx = server.get_transaction(hash)
+    return tx
+
+tx = get_transaction("6bc97bddc21811c626839baf4ab574f4f9f7ddbebb44d286ae504396d4e752da")
+
+print("result", tx.status)
+```
+
+```js
+// yarn add @stellar/stellar-sdk
+import { Server } from "@stellar/stellar-sdk/rpc";
+
+const server = new Server("https://soroban-testnet.stellar.org");
+
+// Fetch transaction details
+async function getTransactionDetails(hash) {
+  try {
+    server.getTransaction(hash).then((tx) => {
+      console.log({ result: tx });
+    });
+  } catch (error) {
+    console.error("Error fetching transaction:", error);
+  }
+}
+
+getTransactionDetails(
+  "6bc97bddc21811c626839baf4ab574f4f9f7ddbebb44d286ae504396d4e752da",
+);
+```
+
+```java
+// implementation 'network.lightsail:stellar-sdk:0.44.0'
+
+import org.stellar.sdk.SorobanServer;
+import org.stellar.sdk.responses.sorobanrpc.GetTransactionResponse;
+
+public class GetTransactionExample {
+  public static void main(String[] args) {
+	SorobanServer server = new SorobanServer("https://soroban-testnet.stellar.org");
+	try {
+	  GetTransactionResponse tx = server.getTransaction("6bc97bddc21811c626839baf4ab574f4f9f7ddbebb44d286ae504396d4e752da");
+	  System.out.println("result: " + tx);
+	} catch (Exception e) {
+	  System.err.println("An error has occurred:");
+	  e.printStackTrace();
