createpsbt

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

Creates a transaction in the Partially Signed Transaction format. Implements the Creator role.

Arguments:

  1. inputs (json array, required) A json array of json objects [ { (json object) “txid”: “hex”, (string, required) The transaction id “vout”: n, (numeric, required) The output number “sequence”: n, (numeric, optional, default=depends on the value of the ‘replaceable’ and ‘locktime’ arguments) The sequence number }, … ]
  2. outputs (json array, required) a json array with outputs (key-value pairs), where none of the keys are duplicated. That is, each address can only appear once and there can only be one ‘data’ object. For compatibility reasons, a dictionary, which holds the key-value pairs directly, is also accepted as second parameter. [ { (json object) “address”: amount, (numeric or string, required) A key-value pair. The key (string) is the bitcoin address, the value (float or string) is the amount in BTC }, { (json object) “data”: “hex”, (string, required) A key-value pair. The key must be “data”, the value is hex-encoded data }, … ]
  3. locktime (numeric, optional, default=0) Raw locktime. Non-0 value also locktime-activates inputs
  4. 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: “psbt” (string) The resulting raw transaction (base64-encoded string)

Examples:

bitcoin-cli createpsbt ”[{“txid”:“myid”,“vout”:0}]” ”[{“data”:“00010203”}]”
