  <Tabs.Tab>
    ```typescript

## Returns

`Promise<DataDecoded>`

The transaction data decoded.

```typescript
type DataDecoded = {
  readonly method: string
  readonly parameters: DecodedParameters[]
}
```

## Parameters

### `data`

- **Type:** `string`

The Safe transaction data to decode.

```typescript
const decodedData = await apiKit.decodeData('0x...')
```

### `to` (Optional)

- **Type:** `string`

The address of the receiving contract. If provided, the decoded data will be more accurate, as in case of an ABI collision the Safe Transaction Service would know which ABI to use

```typescript
const decodedData = await apiKit.decodeData(
  '0x...',
  '0x...'
)
```
