How to get the transaction ID for a given output?

Question

How to get the transaction ID for a given output (from the transaction I am looking for)?

@jtgrassie thanks for answer but I get a empty txid in JSON response from /get_outs — needprayfornotaxes, Jul 27 '21 at 14:43
@jtgrassie ok, nevermind I have not noticed in documentation there is "get_txid" param, thanks a lot! — needprayfornotaxes, Jul 27 '21 at 15:16
@jtgrassie fun fact, in your QA link you used /get_outs without get_txid and you get response with txid :) — needprayfornotaxes, Jul 27 '21 at 19:52
I wouldn't say "fun fact", rather it just show's I missed typing the param in the example. Glad you're sorted now anyway. — jtgrassie, Jul 27 '21 at 20:58

You can use the RPC method get_outs with the input parameter get_txid set to true.

A concrete example:

$ curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:18081/get_outs \
    -d '{"get_txid":true,"outputs":[{"index":5164903},{"index":7719180}]}' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json'
