# debug_traceCall

POST https://node-api-docs-proxy.galleon8.workers.dev
Content-Type: application/json

Runs a read-only eth_call-style transaction in the selected block context and returns debug output for the selected tracer.

Reference: https://docs.galleon8.com/api-reference/node-api/ethereum/api-endpoints/debug-api/debug-trace-call

## Request

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects an object.

- `transaction` (TransactionCallObject, required) — Read-only transaction call object to simulate.
- `block` (BlockNumberOrTag, required) — Block number or supported block tag used as the execution context.
- `traceConfig` (TraceConfig, optional) — Optional trace configuration. Omit it or pass an empty object to use the default struct logger.

## Response

### 200

Debug trace result for the simulated call.

- `DebugTraceResult`

## Types

### TransactionCallObject

Read-only transaction call object used by debug_traceCall.

- `from` (string, optional) — 20-byte EVM address.
- `to` (string, optional, nullable) — 20-byte EVM address.
- `gas` (string, optional) — Hex-encoded integer quantity.
- `gasPrice` (string, optional) — Hex-encoded integer quantity.
- `maxFeePerGas` (string, optional) — Hex-encoded integer quantity.
- `maxPriorityFeePerGas` (string, optional) — Hex-encoded integer quantity.
- `value` (string, optional) — Hex-encoded integer quantity.
- `data` (string, optional) — Hex-encoded byte data.
- `input` (string, optional) — Hex-encoded byte data.
- `accessList` (list of AccessListItems, optional) — EIP-2930 access list.

### BlockNumberOrTag

Block number encoded as a quantity, or a named block tag.

### TraceConfig

Optional debug trace configuration. When tracer is omitted or empty, the default opcode struct logger is used. Named tracer support and tracerConfig fields depend on the backing Ethereum client.

- `tracer` (string, optional) — Built-in tracer name such as callTracer or prestateTracer, or a client-supported custom tracer expression.
- `tracerConfig` (map from string to any, optional) — Tracer-specific configuration object. Accepted fields depend on the selected tracer and Ethereum client.
- `timeout` (string, optional) — Optional trace execution timeout, usually a Go duration string such as 5s or 300ms.
- `reexec` (integer, optional) — Number of historical blocks the client may re-execute to reconstruct state.
- `disableStorage` (boolean, optional) — Opcode logger option that omits storage capture from structLogs when true.
- `disableStack` (boolean, optional) — Opcode logger option that omits stack capture from structLogs when true.
- `enableMemory` (boolean, optional) — Opcode logger option that includes memory capture in structLogs when true.
- `enableReturnData` (boolean, optional) — Opcode logger option that includes return data capture in structLogs when true.
- `limit` (integer, optional) — Opcode logger limit for captured opcode steps. Zero means unlimited where supported.
- `debug` (boolean, optional) — Opcode logger option that lets clients emit trace output to internal logs.

### StructLoggerResult

Default opcode-level struct logger result.

- `gas` (integer, required) — Total gas used by execution.
- `failed` (boolean, required) — Whether execution failed.
- `returnValue` (string, required) — Return value as hex data without the 0x prefix in common Geth responses.
- `structLogs` (list of StructLogEntry, required)

### AccessListItems

- `address` (string, required) — 20-byte EVM address.
- `storageKeys` (list of string, required)

### StructLogEntry

Single opcode-level struct logger entry.

- `pc` (integer, optional) — Program counter before executing the opcode.
- `op` (string, optional) — Opcode name.
- `gas` (integer, optional) — Gas available before executing the opcode.
- `gasCost` (integer, optional) — Gas cost of the opcode.
- `depth` (integer, optional) — Call depth.
- `error` (string, optional) — Opcode execution error, when present.
- `stack` (list of string, optional)
- `memory` (list of string, optional)
- `storage` (map from string to string, optional) — Storage values keyed by slot.
- `refund` (integer, optional) — Gas refund counter after executing the opcode.
- `returnData` (string, optional) — Hex-encoded byte data.
