signrawtransaction "hexstring" ( [{"txid":"id","vout":n,"scriptPubKey":"hex","redeemScript":"hex"},...] ["privatekey1",...] sighashtype )

Sign inputs for raw transaction (serialized, hex-encoded).

  • The second optional argument (may be null) is an array of previous transaction outputs that this transaction depends on but may not yet be in the block chain.

  • The third optional argument (may be null) is an array of base58-encoded private keys that, if given, will be the only keys used to sign the transaction.

Note

Requires wallet passphrase to be set with walletpassphrase call.

Arguments:

1. "hexstring"     (string, required) The transaction hex string
2. "prevtxs"       (string, optional) An json array of previous dependent transaction outputs
     [               (json array of json objects, or 'null' if none provided)
       {
         "txid":"id",             (string, required) The transaction id
         "vout":n,                  (numeric, required) The output number
         "scriptPubKey": "hex",   (string, required) script key
         "redeemScript": "hex",   (string, required for P2SH or P2WSH) redeem script
         "amount": value            (numeric, required) The amount spent
       }
       ,...
    ]
3. "privkeys"     (string, optional) A json array of base58-encoded private keys for signing
    [                  (json array of strings, or 'null' if none provided)
      "privatekey"   (string) private key in base58-encoding
      ,...
    ]
4. "sighashtype"     (string, optional, default=ALL) The signature hash type. Must be one of
       "ALL"
       "NONE"
       "SINGLE"
       "ALL|ANYONECANPAY"
       "NONE|ANYONECANPAY"
       "SINGLE|ANYONECANPAY"

Result:

{
  "hex" : "value",           (string) The hex-encoded raw transaction with signature(s)
  "complete" : true|false,   (boolean) If the transaction has a complete set of signatures
  "errors" : [                 (json array of objects) Script verification errors (if there are any)
    {
      "txid" : "hash",           (string) The hash of the referenced, previous transaction
      "vout" : n,                (numeric) The index of the output to spent and used as input
      "scriptSig" : "hex",       (string) The hex-encoded signature script
      "sequence" : n,            (numeric) Script sequence number
      "error" : "text"           (string) Verification or signing error related to the input
    }
    ,...
  ]
}
