/sendTx

POST

Publish the transaction to the node. When the node receives the transaction, it will do a sanity check and return errors if the check fails. If the check passes, the transaction will be added to the transaction pool and return a Hash of the transaction.

Users may use the hash as an argument of the getTxByHash API or the getTxReceiptByTxHash API, to look up the transaction state, and check whether execution succeeds.

Notes:

This API requires transaction hash and signature, and is tricky to be called directly.

Developers may send transactions with JavaScript SDK.

Request Parameters

Key	Type	Description
time	int64	Time of the transaction generation, in nanoseconds, from UnixEpoch-zero.
expiration	int64	The time when the transaction expires, in nanoseconds since UnixEpoch-zero. If a block-producing node receives the transaction after expiration, it will not execute the transaction.
gas_ratio	double	GAS ratio. This transaction will be executed with default ratio, multiplied by this parameter. The higher the ratio, the faster the transaction gets executed. The value can be reasonably between 1.0 to 100.0
gas_limit	double	Maximum GAS allowed by this transaction. Should not be lower than 50,000
delay	int64	The nanoseconds of the transaction delay. Set to 0 for non-delayed transactions.
chain_id	uint32	chain_id
actions	repeated Action	Specific calls of the transaction
amount_limit	repeated AmountLimit	Limits on token of the transaction. More than one token limits may be specified; if the transaction exceeds theses limits, execution will halt.
publisher	string	ID of the transaction publisher
publisher_sigs	repeated Signature	Signatures of the publisher, as described here. The publisher may provide multiple signatures for different permissions. Refer to documentations on the permission system.
signers	repeated string	The IDs of signers other than the publisher. May be left empty.
signatures	repeated Signature	Signatures of the signers. Each signers should have one or many signatures, so the length of the signatures should not be less than that of the signers.

Signature

Key	Type	Description
algorithm	string	"ED25519" or "SECP256K1"
signature	string	transaction's signature
public_key	string	The public key corresponding to the signature

Response

Key	Type	Description
hash	string	the transaction hash
pre_tx_receipt	TxReceipt	receipt of transaction executed in advance by RPC node, returned only when RPC node opens the switch

Signing a transaction

There are three steps to sign a transaction: convert the transaction struct to byte array, calculate sha3 hash of the byte array, and sign this hash with your private key.

Convert transaction struct to byte array

The algorithm is: convert each field of transaction into byte array in declarative order, and then add length before indefinite type (such as string and structure) and splice. The way the various field types are converted to byte arrays is shown in the table below.

Type	Conversion Method	Example
int	Convert to byte array with Big-endian	int64(1023) is converted to [0 0 0 0 0 0 3 255]
string	Splice the byte of each character in the string and add length before it	"aiou" is converted to [0 0 0 4 105 111 115 116]
array	convert each element of the array into a byte array, add length before each array, put them together	["aiou" "aiou"] is converted to [0 0 0 2 0 0 0 4 105 111 115 116 0 0 0 4 105 111 115 116]
map	Each pair of keys: values in the dictionary is converted into byte arrays and spliced, then each pair is spliced in ascending order of keys, and the length of map is added to the front of each pair.	["b":"aiou", "a":"aiou"] converts to [0 0 0 2 0 0 0 1 97 0 0 0 4 105 111 115 116 0 0 0 1 98 0 0 0 4 105 111 115 116] "

The transaction parameters are declared in this order: "time", "expiration", "gas_ratio", "gas_limit", "delay", "chain_id", "reserved", "signers", "actions", "amount_limit", and "signatures", so the pseudo-code converting a transaction struct to byte array is:

func TxToBytes(t transaction) []byte {
        return Int64ToBytes(t.time) + Int64ToBytes(t. expiration) + 
                Int64ToBytes(int64(t.gas_ratio * 100)) + Int64ToBytes(int64(t.gas_limit * 100)) +     // Node that gas_ratio and gas_limit need to be multiplied by 100 and convert to int64
                Int64ToBytes(t.delay) + Int32ToBytes(t.chain_id) + 
                BytesToBytes(t.reserved) + // reserved is a reserved field. It only needs to write an empty byte array when serialized. Don't send this field in RPC request parameters.
                ArrayToBytes(t.signers) + ArrayToBytes(t.actions)  +
                ArrayToBytes(t.amount_limit) + ArrayToBytes(t.signatures)
    }

Refer to go-aiou for golang implementation; refer to aiou.js for JavaScript implementation.

Calculate the hash of the byte array with sha3 algorithm

Use the sha3 libraries in your language to calculate hash of the byte array you obtained from the previous step.
Sign the hash with private key

AIOU supports two asymmetric encryption algorithms: Ed25519 and Secp256k1. These two algorithms share the same signing process: generate a public-private key pair, and sign the hash from the previous step.

The private key of the "publisher_sigs" must agree with the transaction's "publisher" account. The "signatures" private keys must agrees with the transaction's "signers" accounts. "signatures" is used for multi-layer signing, and is not required; "publisher_sigs" is required. Fees for transaction execution will be taken out from the publisher's account.

Request example

Assume account "testaccount" has a transaction that transfers 100 aiou to the account named "anothertest".

Construct the transaction

{
    "time": 1544709662543340000,
    "expiration": 1544709692318715000,
    "gas_ratio": 1,
    "gas_limit": 500000,
    "delay": 0,
    "chain_id": 1024,
    "signers": [],
    "actions": [
        {
            "contract": "token.aiou",
            "action_name": "transfer",
            "data": "[\"aiou\", \"testaccount\", \"anothertest\", \"100\", \"this is an example transfer\"]",
        },
    ],
    "amount_limit": [
        {
            "token": "*",
            "value": "unlimited",
        },
    ],
    "signatures": [],
}

Calculate hash

After serializing and hashing the transaction, we obtain the hash "/gB8TJQibGI7Kem1v4vJPcJ7vHP48GuShYfd/7NhZ3w=".
Calculate signature

Assume "testaccount" has a public key with ED25519 algorithm, the public key is "lDS+SdM+aiVHbDyXapvrsgyKxFg9mJuHWPZb/INBRWY=", and the private key is "gkpobuI3gbFGstgfdymLBQAGR67ulguDzNmLXEJSWaGUNL5J0z5qJUdsPJdqm+uyDIrEWD2Ym4dY9lv8g0FFZg==". Sign the hash with the private key and we get "/K1HM0OEbfJ4+D3BmalpLmb03WS7BeCz4nVHBNbDrx3/A31aN2RJNxyEKhv+VSoWctfevDNRnL1kadRVxSt8CA=="

Publish transaction

The complete transaction parameter is:

{
    "time": 1544709662543340000,
    "expiration": 1544709692318715000,
    "gas_ratio": 1,
    "gas_limit": 500000,
    "delay": 0,
    "chain_id": 1024,
    "signers": [],
    "actions": [
        {
            "contract": "token.aiou",
            "action_name": "transfer",
            "data": "[\"aiou\", \"testaccount\", \"anothertest\", \"100\", \"this is an example transfer\"]",
        },
    ],
    "amount_limit": [
        {
            "token": "*",
            "value": "unlimited",
        },
    ],
    "signatures": [],
    "publisher": "testaccount",
    "publisher_sigs": [
        {
            "algorithm": "ED25519",
            "public_key": "lDS+SdM+aiVHbDyXapvrsgyKxFg9mJuHWPZb/INBRWY=",
            "signature": "/K1HM0OEbfJ4+D3BmalpLmb03WS7BeCz4nVHBNbDrx3/A31aN2RJNxyEKhv+VSoWctfevDNRnL1kadRVxSt8CA==",
        },
    ],
}

After we JSON-serialize the struct, we can send the following RPC:

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:30001/sendTx -d '{"actions":[{"action_name":"transfer","contract":"token.aiou","data":"[\"aiou\", \"testaccount\", \"anothertest\", \"100\", \"this is an example transfer\"]"}],"amount_limit":[{"token":"*","value":"unlimited"}],"delay":0,"chain_id":1024, "expiration": 1544709692318715000,"gas_limit":500000,"gas_ratio":1,"publisher":"testaccount","publisher_sigs":[{"algorithm":"ED25519","public_key":"lDS+SdM+aiVHbDyXapvrsgyKxFg9mJuHWPZb/INBRWY=","signature":"/K1HM0OEbfJ4+D3BmalpLmb03WS7BeCz4nVHBNbDrx3/A31aN2RJNxyEKhv+VSoWctfevDNRnL1kadRVxSt8CA=="}],"signatures":[],"signers":[],"time": 1544709662543340000}'

/execTx

POST

Send the transaction to the node, and execute immediately. This will not seek consensus on the chain, nor will this transaction persist.

This API is used to check whether a testing contract executes as expected. Obviously, execTx cannot guarantee the same behaviour with an on-chain execution due to different time to call.

Request

This API shares the same set of paramters with /sendTx.

Response

This API shares the same response format with /getTxReceiptByTxHash.

/subscribe
