Hush supports all commands in the Bitcoin Core API (as of version 0.11.2). Where applicable, Hush will extend commands in a backwards-compatible way to enable additional functionality.
We do not recommend use of accounts which are now deprecated in Bitcoin Core. Where the account parameter exists in the API, please use “” as its value, otherwise an error will be returned.
To support multiple users in a single node’s wallet, consider using getnewaddress or z_getnewaddress to obtain a new address for each user. Also consider mapping multiple addresses to each user.
* memo : Metadata expressed in hexadecimal format. Limited to 512 bytes, the current size of the memo field of a private transaction. Zero padding is automatic.
z_getbalance<br>| address [minconf=1] | Returns the balance of a taddr or zaddr belonging to the node’s wallet.<br><br>Optionally set the minimum number of confirmations a private or transparent transaction must have in order to be included in the balance. Use 0 to count unconfirmed transactions.

z_getnewaddress | | Return a new zaddr for sending and receiving payments. The spending key for this zaddr will be added to the node’s wallet.<br><br>Output:<br>zN68D8hSs3...
z_listaddresses | | Returns a list of all the zaddrs in this node’s wallet for which you have a spending key.<br><br>Output:<br>{ [“z123…”, “z456...”, “z789...”] }
z_exportkey | zaddr | _Requires an unlocked wallet or an unencrypted wallet._<br><br>Return a zkey for a given zaddr belonging to the node’s wallet.<br><br>The key will be returned as a string formatted using Base58Check as described in the Hush protocol spec.<br><br>Output:AKWUAkypwQjhZ6LLNaMuuuLcmZ6gt5UFyo8m3jGutvALmwZKLdR5
z_importkey | zkey [rescan=true] | _Wallet must be unlocked._<br><br>Add a zkey as returned by z_exportkey to a node's wallet.<br><br>The key should be formatted using Base58Check as described in the Hush protocol spec.<br><br>Set rescan to true (the default) to rescan the entire local block database for transactions affecting any address or pubkey script in the wallet (including transactions affecting the newly-added address for this spending key).
z_exportwallet | filename | _Requires an unlocked wallet or an unencrypted wallet._<br><br>Creates or overwrites a file with taddr private keys and zaddr private keys in a human-readable format.<br><br>Filename is the file in which the wallet dump will be placed. May be prefaced by an absolute file path. An existing file with that name will be overwritten.<br><br>No value is returned but a JSON-RPC error will be reported if a failure occurred.
z_importwallet | filename | _Requires an unlocked wallet or an unencrypted wallet._<br><br>Imports private keys from a file in wallet export file format (see z_exportwallet). These keys will be added to the keys currently in the wallet. This call may need to rescan all or parts of the block chain for transactions affecting the newly-added keys, which may take several minutes.<br><br>Filename is the file to import. The path is relative to hushd’s working directory.<br><br>No value is returned but a JSON-RPC error will be reported if a failure occurred.
z_listreceivedbyaddress<br> | zaddr [minconf=1] | Return a list of amounts received by a zaddr belonging to the node’s wallet.<br><br>Optionally set the minimum number of confirmations which a received amount must have in order to be included in the result.

z_listunspent | [minconf=1] [maxconf=9999999] [includeWatchonly=false] [zaddrs] | Returns array of unspent shielded notes with between minconf and maxconf (inclusive) confirmations.<br><br>Optionally filter to only include notes sent to specified addresses.<br><br>When minconf is 0, unspent notes with zero confirmations are returned, even though they are not immediately spendable.<br><br>Results are an array of Objects, each of which has: {txid, jsindex, jsoutindex, confirmations, address, amount, memo}
z_sendmany<br> | fromaddress amounts [minconf=1] [fee=0.0001] | _This is an Asynchronous RPC call_<br><br>Send funds from an address to multiple outputs. The address can be either a taddr or a zaddr.<br><br>Amounts is a list containing key/value pairs corresponding to the addresses and amount to pay. Each output address can be in taddr or zaddr format.<br><br>When sending to a zaddr, you also have the option of attaching a memo in hexadecimal format.<br><br>**NOTE:**When sending coinbase funds to a zaddr, the node's wallet does not allow any change. Put another way, spending a partial amount of a coinbase utxo is not allowed. This is not a consensus rule but a local wallet rule due to the current implementation of z_sendmany. In future, this rule may be removed.<br><br>Example of Outputs parameter:<br>[{“address”:”t123…”, “amount”:0.005},<br>,{“address”:”z010…”,”amount”:0.03, “memo”:”f508af…”}]<br><br>Optionally set the minimum number of confirmations which a private or transparent transaction must have in order to be used as an input. When sending from a zaddr, minconf must be greater than zero.<br><br>Optionally set a transaction fee, which by default is 0.0001 HUSH.<br><br>Any transparent change will be sent to a new transparent address. Any private change will be sent back to the zaddr being used as the source of funds.<br><br>Returns an operationid. You use the operationid value with z_getoperationstatus and z_getoperationresult to obtain the result of sending funds, which if successful, will be a txid.
z_shieldcoinbase<br> | fromaddress toaddress [fee=0.0001] [limit=50] | _This is an Asynchronous RPC call_<br><br>Shield transparent coinbase funds by sending to a shielded z address. Utxos selected for shielding will be locked. If there is an error, they are unlocked. The RPC call `listlockunspent` can be used to return a list of locked utxos.<br><br>The number of coinbase utxos selected for shielding can be set with the limit parameter, which has a default value of 50. If the parameter is set to 0, the number of utxos selected is limited by the `-mempooltxinputlimit` option. Any limit is constrained by a consensus rule defining a maximum transaction size of 100000 bytes. <br><br>The from address is a taddr or "*" for all taddrs belonging to the wallet. The to address is a zaddr. The default fee is 0.0001.<br><br>Returns an object containing an operationid which can be used with z_getoperationstatus and z_getoperationresult, along with key-value pairs regarding how many utxos are being shielded in this transaction and what remains to be shielded.
* operationid : unique identifier for the async operation. Use this value with z_getoperationstatus or z_getoperationresult to poll and query the operation and obtain its result.
Depending on the type of asynchronous call, there may be other key-value pairs. For example, a z_sendmany operation will also include the following in an OperationStatus object:
Currently, as soon as you retrieve the operation status for an operation which has finished, that is it has either succeeded, failed, or been cancelled, the operation and any associated information is removed.
It is currently not possible to cancel operations.
