i asked in few forums . there is no way we can directly get account transaction data from blockchain . one way is to go through each block of blockchain and filter transactions . Thanks anyways @alymurtazamemon

@ritesh798 It is obvious because transactions are stored inside blocks.

Also i just found out that etherscan and polygonscan and other explorers uses indexers for fetching data from blockchain for specific address , you have to configure an indexer in your node app which will be tracking blocks in blockchain storing the transactions by indexing them according to address in your local database. here is the link of ETH-transaction storage indexer:- https://github.com/Adamant-im/ETH-transactions-storage
