gettxoutproof

gettxoutproof [“txid”,…] ( “blockhash” )

Returns a hex-encoded proof that “txid” was included in a block.

NOTE: By default this function only works sometimes. This is when there is an unspent output in the utxo for this transaction. To make it always work, you need to maintain a transaction index, using the -txindex command line option or specify the block in which the transaction is included manually (by blockhash).

Arguments:

  1. txids (json array, required) The txids to filter [ “txid”, (string) A transaction hash … ]
  2. blockhash (string, optional) If specified, looks for txid in the block with this hash

Result: “str” (string) A string that is a serialized, hex-encoded data for the proof.
