Broadcasting

Transaction Broadcasting from SPV Wallet

The SPV Wallet broadcasts all valid transactions it receives or creates to ARC.

GitHub - bitcoin-sv/go-broadcast-client: Go client for any service with an ARC api - used for tx broadcast.GitHub

ARC Endpoints

We use the first endpoint to determine the correct fee model to use when creating a transaction.

Get the policy settings

This endpoint returns the policy settings.

GEThttps://tapi.taal.com/arc/v1/policy

Response

200401

Success

Body

application/json

timestamp*string (date-time)

policy*Policy (object)

Request

JavaScriptCurl

const response = await fetch('https://tapi.taal.com/arc/v1/policy', {
    method: 'GET',
    headers: {},
});
const data = await response.json();

Response

{
  "timestamp": "2024-07-04T18:07:00.724Z",
  "policy": {
    "maxscriptsizepolicy": 500000,
    "maxtxsigopscountspolicy": 4294967295,
    "maxtxsizepolicy": 10000000,
    "miningFee": {
      "satoshis": 1,
      "bytes": 1000
    }
  }
}

Thereafter we simply broadcast to ARC and expect a SEEN_ON_NETWORK txStatus response in most cases.

Submit a transaction.

This endpoint is used to send a raw transaction to a miner for inclusion in the next block that the miner creates. The header parameters can be used to override the global settings in your Arc dashboard for these transactions.
