importaddress

Command

pacprotocol-cli importaddress "address" ( "label" rescan p2sh )

Adds an address or script (in hex) that can be watched as if it were in your wallet but cannot be used to spend. Requires a new wallet backup.

Arguments

address *

(string, required)

The PAC address (or hex-encoded script)

label

(string, optional, default="")

An optional label

rescan

(boolean, optional, default=true)

Rescan the wallet for transactions

p2sh

(boolean, optional, default=false)

Add the P2SH version of the script as well

Examples

Note: This call can take over an hour to complete if rescan is true, during that time, other rpc calls

may report that the imported address exists but related transactions are still missing, leading to temporarily incorrect/bogus balances and unspent outputs until rescan completes.

If you have the full public key, you should call importpubkey instead of this.

Note: If you import a non-standard raw script in hex form, outputs sending to it will be treated

as change, and not show up in many RPCs.

Import an address with rescan

pacprotocol-cli importaddress "myaddress"

Import using a label without rescan

pacprotocol-cli importaddress "myaddress" "testing" false

As a JSON-RPC call

curl --user myusername --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "importaddress", "params": ["myaddress", "testing", false] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:1111/
