createrawtransaction [{"txid":"hex","vout":n,"sequence":n},...] [{"address":amount},{"address":},{"data":"hex"},...] ( locktime )

Create a transaction spending the given inputs and creating new outputs. Outputs can be addresses or data. Returns hex-encoded raw transaction. Note that the transaction's inputs are not signed, and it is not stored in the wallet or transmitted to the network.

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) The sequence number }, ... ] 2. outputs (json array, required) a json array with outputs (key-value pairs). 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 Cash address, the value (float or string) is the amount in BCH }, { (json object) "address": { (json object, required) A key-value pair. The key (string) is the Bitcoin Cash address, the value is a JSON object "amount": amount, (numeric or string, required) The amount in BCH "tokenData": { (json object, optional) Optional CashToken data to add to this output "category": "hex", (string, required) The token id "amount": n, (numeric, optional) The token fungible amount, use JSON strings for >53-bit amounts "nft": { (json object, optional) NFT data for the token "capability": "str", (string, optional) One of "none", "mutable", "minting" "commitment": "hex", (string, optional) The token NFT commitment }, }, }, }, { (json object) "data": "hex", (string, required) A key-value pair. The key must be "data", the value is a hex-encoded data string or an array of hex-encoded data strings (each item yields a separate data push) }, ... ] 3. locktime (numeric, optional, default=0) Raw locktime. Non-0 value also locktime-activates inputs
