Transaction

RPC Endpoints

The RPC API enables you to send transactions and query their status.

Send transaction​

Sends transaction. Returns the guaranteed execution status and the results the blockchain can provide at the moment.

  • method: send_tx

  • params:

    • signed_tx_base64: SignedTransaction encoded in base64

    • [Optional] wait_until: the required minimal execution level. Read more here. The default value is EXECUTED_OPTIMISTIC.

Using send_tx with wait_until = NONE is equal to legacy broadcast_tx_async method. Using send_tx with finality wait_until = EXECUTED_OPTIMISTIC is equal to legacy broadcast_tx_commit method.

Example:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": "dontcare",
  "method": "send_tx",
  "params": {
    "signed_tx_base64": "DgAAAHNlbmRlci50ZXN0bmV0AOrmAai64SZOv9e/naX4W15pJx0GAap35wTT1T/DwcbbDwAAAAAAAAAQAAAAcmVjZWl2ZXIudGVzdG5ldNMnL7URB1cxPOu3G8jTqlEwlcasagIbKlAJlF5ywVFLAQAAAAMAAACh7czOG8LTAAAAAAAAAGQcOG03xVSFQFjoagOb4NBBqWhERnnz45LY4+52JgZhm1iQKz7qAdPByrGFDQhQ2Mfga8RlbysuQ8D8LlA6bQE=",

What could go wrong?​

When API request fails, RPC server returns a structured error response with a limited number of well-defined error variants, so client code can exhaustively handle all the possible error cases. Our JSON-RPC errors follow verror convention for structuring the error response:

{
    "error": {
        "name": <ERROR_TYPE>,
        "cause": {
            "info": {..},
            "name": <ERROR_CAUSE>
        },
        "code": -32000,
        "data": String,
        "message": "Server error",
    },
    "id": "dontcare",
    "jsonrpc": "2.0"
}

Heads up

The fields code, data, and message in the structure above are considered legacy ones and might be deprecated in the future. Please, don't rely on them.

Here is the exhaustive list of the error variants that can be returned by broadcast_tx_commit method:

ERROR_TYPE error.name

ERROR_CAUSE error.cause.name

Reason

Solution

HANDLER_ERROR

INVALID_TRANSACTION

An error happened during transaction execution

  • See error.cause.info for details

TIMEOUT_ERROR

Transaction was routed, but has not been recorded on chain in 10 seconds.

  • Re-submit the request with the identical transaction (in ABOGIDA Protocol unique transactions apply exactly once, so if the previously sent transaction gets applied, this request will just return the known result, otherwise, it will route the transaction to the chain once again)

  • Check that your transaction is valid

  • Check that the signer account id has enough tokens to cover the transaction fees (keep in mind that some tokens on each account are locked to cover the storage cost)

REQUEST_VALIDATION_ERROR

PARSE_ERROR

Passed arguments can't be parsed by JSON RPC server (missing arguments, wrong format, etc.)

  • Check the arguments passed and pass the correct ones

  • Check error.cause.info for more details

INTERNAL_ERROR

INTERNAL_ERROR

Something went wrong with the node itself or overloaded

  • Try again later

  • Send a request to a different node

  • Check error.cause.info for more details

Transaction Status​

Queries status of a transaction by hash and returns the final transaction result.

  • method: tx

  • params:

    • tx_hash (see ABOGIDABlocks Explorer for a valid transaction hash)

    • sender_account_id (used to determine which shard to query for transaction)

    • [Optional] wait_until: the required minimal execution level. Read more here. The default value is EXECUTED_OPTIMISTIC.

A Transaction status request with wait_until != NONE will wait until the transaction appears on the blockchain. If the transaction does not exist, the method will wait until the timeout is reached. If you only need to check whether the transaction exists, use wait_until = NONE, it will return the response immediately.

Example:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": "dontcare",
  "method": "tx",
  "params": {
    "tx_hash": "6zgh2u9DqHHiXzdy9ouTP7oGky2T4nugqzqt9wJZwNFm",

Transaction Execution Levels​

pub enum TxExecutionStatus {
  /// Transaction is waiting to be included into the block
  None,
  /// Transaction is included into the block. The block may be not finalized yet
  Included,
  /// Transaction is included into the block +
  /// All non-refund transaction receipts finished their execution.
  /// The corresponding blocks for tx and each receipt may be not finalized yet
  #[default]

  /// Transaction is included into finalized block

  /// Transaction is included into finalized block +

  Executed,
  /// Transaction is included into finalized block +
  /// Execution of all transaction receipts is finalized, including refund receipts
  Final,

Deprecated methods

[deprecated] Send transaction (async)​

Consider using send_tx instead

Sends a transaction and immediately returns transaction hash.

  • method: broadcast_tx_async

  • params: [SignedTransaction encoded in base64]

Example:

  "id": "dontcare",
  "method": "broadcast_tx_async",
  "params": [

Final transaction results can be queried using Transaction Status or AbogidaBlocks Explorer using the above result hash returning a result similar to the example below.

Example response:

What could go wrong?​

When API request fails, RPC server returns a structured error response with a limited number of well-defined error variants, so client code can exhaustively handle all the possible error cases. Our JSON-RPC errors follow verror convention for structuring the error response:

{
    "error": {
        "name": <ERROR_TYPE>,
        "cause": {
            "info": {..},
            "name": <ERROR_CAUSE>
        },
        "code": -32000,
        "data": String,
        "message": "Server error",
    },
    "id": "dontcare",
    "jsonrpc": "2.0"
}

Heads up

The fields code, data, and message in the structure above are considered legacy ones and might be deprecated in the future. Please, don't rely on them.

Here is the exhaustive list of the error variants that can be returned by broadcast_tx_commit method:

ERROR_TYPE error.name

ERROR_CAUSE error.cause.name

Reason

Solution

HANDLER_ERROR

INVALID_TRANSACTION

An error happened during transaction execution

  • See error.cause.info for details

TIMEOUT_ERROR

  • Transaction was routed, but has not been recorded on chain in 10 seconds.

  • Re-submit the request with the identical transaction (in ABOGIDA Protocol unique transactions apply exactly once, so if the previously sent transaction gets applied, this request will just return the known result, otherwise, it will route the transaction to the chain once again)

  • Check that your transaction is valid

  • Check that the signer account id has enough tokens to cover the transaction fees (keep in mind that some tokens on each account are locked to cover the storage cost)

REQUEST_VALIDATION_ERROR

PARSE_ERROR

Passed arguments can't be parsed by JSON RPC server (missing arguments, wrong format, etc.)

  • Check the arguments passed and pass the correct ones

  • Check error.cause.info for more details

INTERNAL_ERROR

INTERNAL_ERROR

Something went wrong with the node itself or overloaded

  • Try again later

  • Send a request to a different node

  • Check error.cause.info for more details
