gettxoutproof

Returns a Merkle proof that one or more transactions are included in a block. This method uses 80 credits from your daily balance.

A proof lets a client confirm that a transaction is in a block using only the block header.

Parameters

• txids: (array) [required] - IDs of the transactions to prove. All must be in the same block.
• blockhash: (string) [optional] - Hash of the block that contains the transactions. Without blockhash, the node looks up the block using an unspent output of the transaction or the transaction index.

Returns

result: (string) - Serialized Merkle block proof, as a hex-encoded string.
