For example, a user can input a transaction ID to get real-time status updates about that transaction's confirmation state.

Troubleshooting
- Ensure the transaction ID (txid) is correctly formatted and valid; invalid IDs will cause errors.

- If the transaction is very recent, it might not yet be confirmed, so the status may show as unconfirmed.
