decoderawtransaction “hexstring” ( iswitness )

Return a JSON object representing the serialized, hex-encoded transaction.

Arguments:

1. hexstring (string, required) The transaction hex string
2. iswitness (boolean, optional, default=depends on heuristic tests) Whether the transaction hex is a serialized witness transaction. If iswitness is not present, heuristic tests will be used in decoding. If true, only witness deserialization will be tried. If false, only non-witness deserialization will be tried. This boolean should reflect whether the transaction has inputs (e.g. fully valid, or on-chain transactions), if known by the caller.

Result: { (json object) “txid” : “hex”, (string) The transaction id “hash” : “hex”, (string) The transaction hash (differs from txid for witness transactions) “size” : n, (numeric) The serialized transaction size “vsize” : n, (numeric) The virtual transaction size (differs from size for witness transactions) “weight” : n, (numeric) The transaction’s weight (between vsize4-3 and vsize4) “version” : n, (numeric) The version “locktime” : xxx, (numeric) The lock time “vin” : [ (json array) { (json object) “coinbase” : “hex”, (string, optional) The coinbase value (only if coinbase transaction) “txid” : “hex”, (string, optional) The transaction id (if not coinbase transaction) “vout” : n, (numeric, optional) The output number (if not coinbase transaction) “scriptSig” : { (json object, optional) The script (if not coinbase transaction) “asm” : “str”, (string) Disassembly of the signature script “hex” : “hex” (string) The raw signature script bytes, hex-encoded }, “txinwitness” : [ (json array, optional) “hex”, (string) hex-encoded witness data (if any) … ], “sequence” : n (numeric) The script sequence number }, … ], “vout” : [ (json array) { (json object) “value” : n, (numeric) The value in BTC “n” : n, (numeric) index “scriptPubKey” : { (json object) “asm” : “str”, (string) Disassembly of the public key script “desc” : “str”, (string) Inferred descriptor for the output “hex” : “hex”, (string) The raw public key script bytes, hex-encoded “address” : “str”, (string, optional) The Bitcoin address (only if a well-defined address exists) “type” : “str” (string) The type (one of: nonstandard, pubkey, pubkeyhash, scripthash, multisig, nulldata, witness_v0_scripthash, witness_v0_keyhash, witness_v1_taproot, witness_unknown) } }, … ] }
