# simulateTransaction example for Solana (SOL)

POST simulateTransaction

Simulate sending a transaction

Parameters

transaction - string

Transaction, as an encoded string. The transaction must have a valid blockhash, but is not required to be signed.

Config - object

Optional.

Configuration object containing the following fields: - sigVerify: bool - if true the transaction signatures will be verified (default: false, conflicts with replaceRecentBlockhash) - commitment: string (optional) - Commitment level to simulate the transaction at (default: "finalized"). - encoding: string (optional) - Encoding used for the transaction data. Either "base58" (slow, DEPRECATED), or "base64". (default: "base58"). - replaceRecentBlockhash: bool (optional) - if true the transaction recent blockhash will be replaced with the most recent blockhash. (default: false, conflicts with sigVerify) - accounts: object (optional) - Accounts configuration object containing the following fields: - encoding: string (optional) - encoding for returned Account data, either "base64" (default), "base64+zstd" or "jsonParsed". "jsonParsed" encoding attempts to use program-specific state parsers to return more human-readable and explicit account state data. If "jsonParsed" is requested but a parser cannot be found, the field falls back to binary encoding, detectable when the data field is type string. - addresses: array - an array of accounts to return, as base-58 encoded strings
