Create a Request to Fetch Metadata

TODO

Request Body REQUIRED
network_identifier object REQUIRED

The network_identifier specifies which network a particular object is associated with.

blockchain string REQUIRED

Blockchain name

network string REQUIRED

If a blockchain has a specific chain-id or network identifier, it should go in this field. It is up to the client to determine which network-specific identifier is mainnet or testnet.

sub_network_identifier object

In blockchains with sharded state, the SubNetworkIdentifier is required to query some object on a specific shard. This identifier is optional for all non-sharded blockchains.

network string REQUIRED

Network name

metadata object

Meta data from subnetwork identifier

producer string REQUIRED

producer

operations object[] REQUIRED
operation_identifier object REQUIRED

The operation_identifier uniquely identifies an operation within a transaction.

index integer REQUIRED

The operation index is used to ensure each operation has a unique identifier within a transaction. This index is only relative to the transaction and NOT GLOBAL. The operations in each transaction should start from index 0. To clarify, there may not be any notion of an operation index in the blockchain being described.

network_index integer

Some blockchains specify an operation index that is essential for client use. For example, Bitcoin uses a network_index to identify which UTXO was used in a transaction. network_index should not be populated if there is no notion of an operation index in a blockchain (typically most account-based blockchains).

related_operations object[]

Restrict referenced related_operations to identifier indexes < the current operation_identifier.index. This ensures there exists a clear DAG-structure of relations. Since operations are one-sided, one could imagine relating operations in a single transfer or linking operations in a call tree.

index integer REQUIRED

Describes the index of related operation.

network_index integer

Some blockchains specify an operation index that is essential for client use. network_index should not be populated if there is no notion of an operation index in a blockchain (typically most account-based blockchains).

type string REQUIRED

The network-specific type of the operation. Ensure that any type that can be returned here is also specified in the NetworkStatus. This can be very useful to downstream consumers that parse all block data.

status string

The network-specific status of the operation. Status is not defined on the transaction object because blockchains with smart contracts may have transactions that partially apply. Blockchains with atomic transactions (all operations succeed or all operations fail) will have the same status for each operation.

account object

The account_identifier uniquely identifies an account within a network. All fields in the account_identifier are utilized to determine this uniqueness (including the metadata field, if populated).

address string REQUIRED

The address may be a cryptographic public key (or some encoding of it) or a provided username.

sub_account object

An account may have state specific to a contract address (ERC-20 token) and/or a stake (delegated balance). The sub_account_identifier should specify which state (if applicable) an account instantiation refers to.

address string REQUIRED

The address may be a cryptographic public key (or some encoding of it) or a provided username.

metadata object

If the SubAccount address is not sufficient to uniquely specify a SubAccount, any other identifying information can be stored here. It is important to note that two SubAccounts with identical addresses but differing metadata will not be considered equal by clients.

metadata object

Blockchains that utilize a username model (where the address is not a derivative of a cryptographic public key) should specify the public key(s) owned by the address in metadata.

amount object

Amount is some Value of a Currency. It is considered invalid to specify a Value without a Currency.

value string REQUIRED

Value of the transaction in atomic units represented as an arbitrary-sized signed integer. For example, 1 BTC would be represented by a value of 100000000.

currency object REQUIRED

Currency is composed of a canonical Symbol and Decimals. This Decimals value is used to convert an Amount.Value from atomic units (Satoshis) to standard units (Bitcoins).

symbol string REQUIRED

Canonical symbol associated with a currency.

decimals integer REQUIRED

Number of decimal places in the standard unit representation of the amount. For example, BTC has 8 decimals. Note that it is not possible to represent the value of some currency in atomic units that is not base 10.

metadata object

Any additional information related to the currency itself. For example, it would be useful to populate this object with the contract address of an ERC-20 token.

metadata object
coin_change object

CoinChange is used to represent a change in state of a some coin identified by a coin_identifier. This object is part of the Operation model and must be populated for UTXO-based blockchains. Coincidentally, this abstraction of UTXOs allows for supporting both account-based transfers and UTXO-based transfers on the same blockchain (when a transfer is account-based, don't populate this model).

coin_identifier object REQUIRED

CoinIdentifier uniquely identifies a Coin.

identifier string REQUIRED

Identifier should be populated with a globally unique identifier of a Coin. In Bitcoin, this identifier would be transaction_hash:index.

coin_action string REQUIRED

Possible values: [coin_created, coin_spent]

CoinActions are different state changes that a Coin can undergo. When a Coin is created, it is coin_created. When a Coin is spent, it is coin_spent. It is assumed that a single Coin cannot be created or spent more than once.

metadata object

Operations Meta Data

metadata object
max_fee object[]
value string REQUIRED

Value of the transaction in atomic units represented as an arbitrary-sized signed integer. For example, 1 BTC would be represented by a value of 100000000.

currency object REQUIRED

Currency is composed of a canonical Symbol and Decimals. This Decimals value is used to convert an Amount.Value from atomic units (Satoshis) to standard units (Bitcoins).

symbol string REQUIRED

Canonical symbol associated with a currency.

decimals integer REQUIRED

Number of decimal places in the standard unit representation of the amount. For example, BTC has 8 decimals. Note that it is not possible to represent the value of some currency in atomic units that is not base 10.

metadata object

Any additional information related to the currency itself. For example, it would be useful to populate this object with the contract address of an ERC-20 token.

metadata object
suggested_fee_multiplier integer

The caller can also provide a suggested fee multiplier to indicate that the suggested fee should be scaled. This may be used to set higher fees for urgent transactions or to pay lower fees when there is less urgency. It is assumed that providing a very low multiplier (like 0.0001) will never lead to a transaction being created with a fee less than the minimum network fee (if applicable). In the case that the caller provides both a max fee and a suggested fee multiplier, the max fee will set an upper bound on the suggested fee (regardless of the multiplier provided).
