Fetching Raw Transaction with Electrum?

[byt411]

This is a bit of a stupid question, but how do I use getrawtransaction with electrum? getrawtransaction transactionID doesn't work, getrawtransaction (transactionID) doesn't work, and neither does getrawtransaction(transactionID).

It keeps giving me "invalid syntax" on the console.

in a terminal it is

Code:

 > getrawtransaction txid

if you use the python console, you need to comply with the python syntax:

Code:

getrawtransaction("txid")  

  (with quotes)

In the gui you can also use the menu: Tools -> Load Transaction -> From the blockchain
