createrawtransaction

Command#

pacprotocol-cli createrawtransaction [{"txid":"id","vout":n},...] [{"address":amount},{"data":"hex"},...] ( locktime )

Create a transaction spending the given inputs and creating new outputs. Outputs can be addresses or data. Returns hex-encoded raw transaction. Note that the transaction's inputs are not signed, and it is not stored in the wallet or transmitted to the network.

Arguments#

inputs *#

(array, required)

A json array of json objects

[
{
"txid":"id", (string, required) The transaction id
"vout":n, (numeric, required) The output number
"sequence":n (numeric, optional) The sequence number
}
,...
]

outputs *#

(array, required)

a json array with outputs (key-value pairs)

[
{
"address": x.xxx, (obj, optional) A key-value pair. The key (string) is the PAC address, the value (float or string) is the amount in PAC
},
{
"data": "hex" (obj, optional) A key-value pair. The key must be "data", the value is hex encoded data
}
,... More key-value pairs of the above form. For compatibility reasons, a dictionary, which holds the key-value pairs directly, is also
accepted as second parameter.
]

locktime#

(numeric, optional, default=0)

Raw locktime. Non-0 value also locktime-activates inputs

Examples#

pacprotocol-cli createrawtransaction "[{\"txid\":\"myid\",\"vout\":0}]" "[{\"address\":0.01}]"
pacprotocol-cli createrawtransaction "[{\"txid\":\"myid\",\"vout\":0}]" "[{\"data\":\"00010203\"}]"
curl --user myusername --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "createrawtransaction", "params": ["[{\"txid\":\"myid\",\"vout\":0}]", "[{\"address\":0.01}]"] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:1111/
curl --user myusername --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "createrawtransaction", "params": ["[{\"txid\":\"myid\",\"vout\":0}]", "[{\"data\":\"00010203\"}]"] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:1111/

Result#

"transaction" #(string) hex string of the transaction
