But what about in the case of using the Electrum daemon/CLI to fetch any transaction? There doesn't seem to be a specific method for getting the fee info of a transaction, and gettransction just returns a raw transaction that doesn't contain transaction size (or vsize) and fee paid.
Yes, I checked "commands.py" and nothing in it outputs the 'fee rate' or 'transaction size'.Link: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/electrum/commands.py
deserialize also do not return with the transaction's fee rate, just the exact data in the raw transaction.
I found this. Maybe it helps

Code:
def estimated_size(self):
"""Return an estimated virtual tx size in vbytes.
BIP-0141 defines 'Virtual transaction size' to be weight/4 rounded up.
This definition is only for humans, and has little meaning otherwise.
If we wanted sub-byte precision, fee calculation should use transaction
weights, but for simplicity we approximate that with (virtual_size)x4
"""
weight = self.estimated_weight()
return self.virtual_size_from_weight(weight)

weight = self.estimated_weight()

Oh, OK. So is this an Electrum command exposed to the user, or just a regular function?
