createrawtransaction [{“txid”:“id”,“vout”:n},…] [{“address”:amount},{“data”:“hex”},…] ( locktime ) ( replaceable )

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 bitcoin address, the value (float or string) is the amount in BTC }, { “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
replaceable (boolean, optional, default=false) Marks this transaction as BIP125 replaceable. Allows this transaction to be replaced by a transaction with higher fees. If provided, it is an error if explicit sequence numbers are incompatible.

Result: “transaction” (string) hex string of the transaction
