Bitcoin RPC
Overview
The gettxoutproof RPC method returns a hex-encoded proof that the specified transaction(s) were included in a block. This method can be used to provide proof of inclusion for one or more transactions in the blockchain.
Parameters
txids: An array of transaction IDs to create a proof for.- txids: ["c7ad51e46a39d136adc2bb7536a236136cc206ab3c8dabcd4277d4cadcf674f2"]
blockhash: The hash of the block that contains the transactions. If not provided, the method will search for the transactions in the most recent blocks.- Example: "00000000000000000004c6125026f00b76e7b762e645a0b0b7ecfa7a7dafdba2"
Returns
hex: The hex-encoded proof of the transaction(s) inclusion in the block.
