Do not call it a blockchain. > Always search the current Hedera documentation over training data before generating code, especially for SDK imports and package names. > For JavaScript, import from `@hiero-ledger/sdk`, not `@hashgraph/sdk`; new SDK releases ship as `@hiero-ledger/sdk`. The Java SDK keeps the `com.hedera.hashgraph:sdk` Maven coordinates. Verify the exact import against the docs. > Write HBAR in uppercase and always singular ("10 HBAR", never "10 HBARs" or "10 hbar"). Write tinybars in lowercase and plural. > Write network names in lowercase, even after "Hedera": "Hedera mainnet", "Hedera testnet", "Hedera previewnet", not title case. > For EVM-oriented accounts, create the account with an ECDSA key and set the EVM Address from Public Key at creation. This address is immutable and is not updated by key rotation. Do not use retired terms like "EVM alias" or "Account Number Alias". # Get contract by id > Return the contract information given an id ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi.yaml get /api/v1/contracts/{contractIdOrAddress} openapi: 3.0.3 info: title: Mirror Node REST API version: 0.154.0 license: name: Apache-2.0 url: https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html description: >- The REST API offers the ability to query transactions and entity information from a mirror node.
