Raw Transaction RPCs

CombineRawTransaction

The combinerawtransaction RPC combine multiple partially signed transactions into one transaction.

The combined transaction may be another partially signed transaction or a
fully signed transaction.

Parameter #1---txs

NameTypePresenceDescription
txsstringRequiredA json array of hex strings of partially signed transactions

Result---hex-encoded raw transaction with signature(s)

NameTypePresenceDescription
resultstringRequired
(Exactly 1)
The resulting raw transaction in serialized transaction format encoded as hex.

Example from Dash Core 0.15.0

The following example shows a fully signed two input transaction being assembled
by combining two partially signed transactions. The first hex-encoded string is
the transaction with only the first input signed. The second hex-encoded string is
the transaction with only the second input signed.

FundRawTransaction

📘

Requires wallet support (unavailable on masternodes).

The fundrawtransaction RPC adds inputs to a transaction until it has enough in value to meet its out value. This will not modify existing inputs, and will add one change output to the outputs.
Note that inputs which were signed may need to be resigned after completion since in/outputs have been added. The inputs added will not be signed, use signrawtransaction for that.
All existing inputs must have their previous output transaction be in the wallet.

Parameter #1---The hex string of the raw transaction

NameTypePresenceDescription
Hex stringstring (hex)Required
(exactly 1)
The hex string of the raw transaction

Parameter #2---Additional options

Note: For backwards compatibility, passing in a true instead of an object will result in {"includeWatching": true}.

(0 or 1)
The specific feerate you are willing to pay (BTC per KB). If not set, the wallet determines the fee

subtractFeeFromOutputs
arrayOptional
(0 or 1)
A json array of integers. The fee will be equally deducted from the amount of each specified output. The outputs are specified by their zero-based index, before any change output is added.
→ →
Output index
numeric (int)Optional
(0 or more)
A output index number (vout) from which the fee should be subtracted. If multiple vouts are provided, the total fee will be divided by the number of vouts listed and each vout will have that amount subtracted from it.

GetRawTransaction

The getrawtransaction RPC gets a hex-encoded serialized transaction or a JSON object describing the transaction. By default, Dash Core only stores complete transaction data for UTXOs and your own transactions, so the RPC may fail on historic transactions unless you use the non-default txindex=1 in your Dash Core startup settings.

Note: By default this function only works for mempool transactions. When called with a blockhash argument, getrawtransaction will return the transaction if the specified block is available and the transaction is found in that block. When called without a blockhash argument, getrawtransaction will return the transaction if it is in the mempool, or if -txindex is enabled and the transaction is in a block in the blockchain.

🚧

Reindex note

If you begin using txindex=1 after downloading the block chain, you must rebuild your indexes by starting Dash Core with the option -reindex. This may take several hours to complete, during which time your node will not process new blocks or transactions. This reindex only needs to be done once.

Parameter #1---the TXID of the transaction to get

NameTypePresenceDescription
TXIDstring (hex)Required
(exactly 1)

Parameter #3---hash of a block to look in for the transaction

NameTypePresenceDescription
Block HashboolOptional
(0 or 1)
Added in Dash Core 0.16.0

The hash of the block in which to look for the transaction

Result (if transaction not found)---null

NameTypePresenceDescription

SendRawTransaction

The sendrawtransaction RPC validates a transaction and broadcasts it to the peer-to-peer network.

Parameter #1---a serialized transaction to broadcast

NameTypePresenceDescription
Transactionstring (hex)Required
(exactly 1)
The serialized transaction to broadcast encoded as hex

Parameter #2--whether to allow high fees

NameTypePresenceDescription
Allow High FeesboolOptional
(0 or 1)
Set to true to allow the transaction to pay a high transaction fee. Set to false (the default) to prevent Dash Core from broadcasting the transaction if it includes a high fee. Transaction fees are the sum of the inputs minus the sum of the outputs, so this high fees check helps ensures user including a change address to return most of the difference back to themselves

Parameter #3--whether to use InstantSend

NameTypePresenceDescription
Use InstantSendboolOptional
(0 or 1)
Deprecated and ignored since Dash Core 0.15.0

Parameter #4--whether to bypass policy limits

NameTypePresenceDescription
Bypass LimitsboolOptional
(0 or 1)
Bypass transaction policy limits

Result---a TXID or error message

NameTypePresenceDescription
resultnull/string (hex)Required
(exactly 1)
If the transaction was accepted by the node for broadcast, this will be the TXID of the transaction encoded as hex in RPC byte order. If the transaction was rejected by the node, this will set to null, the JSON-RPC error field will be set to a code, and the JSON-RPC message field may contain an informative error message

Examples from Dash Core 0.12.2

Broadcast a signed transaction:
