Methods

broadcastTx

▸ broadcastTx(txHex): Promise\<string>

Broadcast a raw transaction to the network.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
txHex	string	The hex encoded transaction.

Returns

Promise\<string>

A promise that resolves to the txid.

Defined in

electrs.ts:131

getBlockHash

▸ getBlockHash(height): Promise\<string>

Get the block hash of the Bitcoin block at a specific height.

This function retrieves the block hash for the Bitcoin block at the given height.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
height	number	The height of the Bitcoin block.

Returns

Promise\<string>

A promise that resolves to the block hash of the Bitcoin block.

Example

const BITCOIN_NETWORK = "regtest";
const electrsClient = new DefaultElectrsClient(BITCOIN_NETWORK);
const blockHeight = 123456;
electrsClient.getBlockHash(blockHeight)
  .then((blockHash) => {
    console.log(`Block hash at height ${blockHeight}: ${blockHash}`);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error(`Error: ${error}`);
  });

getBlockHeader

▸ getBlockHeader(hash): Promise\<string>

Get the raw block header, represented as a hex string, for a Bitcoin block with a given hash.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
hash	string	The hash of the Bitcoin block.

Returns

Promise\<string>

A promise that resolves to the raw block header as a hex string.

Example

const BITCOIN_NETWORK = "regtest";
const electrsClient = new DefaultElectrsClient(BITCOIN_NETWORK);
const blockHash = 'your_block_hash_here';
electrsClient.getBlockHeader(blockHash)
  .then((blockHeader) => {
    console.log(`Raw block header for block with hash ${blockHash}: ${blockHeader}`);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error(`Error: ${error}`);
  });

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
confirmationTarget	number	The number of blocks to be included in.

Returns

Promise\<number>

A promise that resolves to the fee rate.

Defined in

electrs.ts:123

---

getMerkleProof

▸ getMerkleProof(txId): Promise\<MerkleProof>

Get the encoded merkle inclusion proof for a Bitcoin transaction with a given ID (txId).

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
txId	string	The ID of a Bitcoin transaction.

Returns

Promise\<MerkleProof>

A promise that resolves to the encoded merkle inclusion proof.

Example

const BITCOIN_NETWORK = "regtest";
const electrsClient = new DefaultElectrsClient(BITCOIN_NETWORK);
const transactionId = 'your_transaction_id_here';
electrsClient.getMerkleProof(transactionId)
  .then((merkleProof) => {
    console.log(`Merkle inclusion proof for transaction with ID ${transactionId}: ${merkleProof}`);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error(`Error: ${error}`);
  });

getTransactionHex

▸ getTransactionHex(txId): Promise\<string>

Get the transaction data, represented as a hex string, for a Bitcoin transaction with a given ID (txId).

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
txId	string	The ID of a Bitcoin transaction.

Returns

Promise\<string>

A promise that resolves to the transaction data as a hex string.

Example

const BITCOIN_NETWORK = "regtest";
const electrsClient = new DefaultElectrsClient(BITCOIN_NETWORK);
const transactionId = 'your_transaction_id_here';
electrsClient.getTransactionHex(transactionId)
  .then((transactionHex) => {
    console.log(`Transaction hex for transaction with ID ${transactionId}: ${transactionHex}`);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error(`Error: ${error}`);
  });
