Bitcoin Core Help (v0.20.0)
Usage: bitcoin-cli [options] <command> [params] Send command to Bitcoin Core
or: bitcoin-cli [options] -named <command> [name=value]... Send command to Bitcoin Core (with named arguments)
or: bitcoin-cli [options] help List commands
or: bitcoin-cli [options] help <command> Get help for a command
Options:
-?
Print this help message and exit
-conf=<file>
Specify configuration file. Relative paths will be prefixed by datadir
location. (default: bitcoin.conf)
-datadir=<dir>
Specify data directory
-getinfo
Get general information from the remote server. Note that unlike
server-side RPC calls, the results of -getinfo is the result of
multiple non-atomic requests. Some entries in the result may
represent results from different states (e.g. wallet balance may
be as of a different block from the chain state reported)
-named
Pass named instead of positional arguments (default: false)
-rpcclienttimeout=<n>
Timeout in seconds during HTTP requests, or 0 for no timeout. (default:
900)
-rpcconnect=<ip>
Send commands to node running on <ip> (default: 127.0.0.1)
-rpccookiefile=<loc>
Location of the auth cookie. Relative paths will be prefixed by a
net-specific datadir location. (default: data dir)
-rpcpassword=<pw>
Password for JSON-RPC connections
-rpcport=<port>
Connect to JSON-RPC on <port> (default: 8332, testnet: 18332, regtest:
18443)
-rpcuser=<user>
Username for JSON-RPC connections
-rpcwait
Wait for RPC server to start
-rpcwallet=<walletname>
Send RPC for non-default wallet on RPC server (needs to exactly match
corresponding -wallet option passed to bitcoind). This changes
the RPC endpoint used, e.g.
http://127.0.0.1:8332/wallet/<walletname>
-stdin
Read extra arguments from standard input, one per line until EOF/Ctrl-D
(recommended for sensitive information such as passphrases). When
combined with -stdinrpcpass, the first line from standard input
is used for the RPC password.
-stdinrpcpass
Read RPC password from standard input as a single line. When combined
with -stdin, the first line from standard input is used for the
RPC password. When combined with -stdinwalletpassphrase,
-stdinrpcpass consumes the first line, and -stdinwalletpassphrase
consumes the second.
-stdinwalletpassphrase
Read wallet passphrase from standard input as a single line. When
combined with -stdin, the first line from standard input is used
for the wallet passphrase.
-version
Print version and exit
Debugging/Testing options:
Chain selection options:
-chain=<chain>
Use the chain <chain> (default: main). Allowed values: main, test,
regtest
-testnet
Use the test chain. Equivalent to -chain=test.

Use separate SOCKS5 proxy to reach peers via Tor hidden services, set
-noonion to disable (default: -proxy)

[host]:port notation for IPv6. Allowed permissions: bloomfilter
(allow requesting BIP37 filtered blocks and transactions), noban
(do not ban for misbehavior), forcerelay (relay transactions that

-blocksonly mode), mempool (allow requesting BIP35 mempool
contents). Specify multiple permissions separated by commas
(default: noban,mempool,relay). Can be specified multiple times.

What type of addresses to use ("legacy", "p2sh-segwit", or "bech32",
default: "bech32")
-avoidpartialspends
Group outputs by address, selecting all or none, instead of selecting on
a per-output basis. Privacy is improved as an address is only
used once (unless someone sends to it after spending from it),
but may result in slightly higher fees as suboptimal coin
selection may result due to the added limitation (default: 0
(always enabled for wallets with "avoid_reuse" enabled))
-changetype
What type of change to use ("legacy", "p2sh-segwit", or "bech32").
Default is same as -addresstype, except when

-discardfee=<amt>
The fee rate (in BTC/kB) that indicates your tolerance for discarding
change by adding it to the fee (default: 0.0001). Note: An output

discard up to the dust relay fee and a discard fee above that is
limited by the fee estimate for the longest target
-fallbackfee=<amt>
A fee rate (in BTC/kB) that will be used when fee estimation has
insufficient data. 0 to entirely disable the fallbackfee feature.
(default: 0.00)
-keypool=<n>

increase the risk of losing funds when restoring from an old
backup, if none of the addresses in the original keypool have
been used.
-mintxfee=<amt>
Fees (in BTC/kB) smaller than this are considered zero fee for
transaction creation (default: 0.00001)

multiple wallets. Path is interpreted relative to <walletdir> if
it is not absolute, and will be created if it does not exist (as
a directory containing a wallet.dat file and log files). For
backwards compatibility this will also accept names of existing
data files in <walletdir>.)
-walletbroadcast
Make the wallet broadcast transactions (default: 1)
-walletdir=<dir>
Specify directory to hold wallets (default: <datadir>/wallets if it
exists, otherwise <datadir>)
-walletnotify=<cmd>
Execute command when a wallet transaction changes. %s in cmd is replaced
by TxID and %w is replaced by wallet name. %w is not currently
implemented on windows. On systems where %w is supported, it
should NOT be quoted because this would break shell escaping used
to invoke the command.
-walletrbf
Send transactions with full-RBF opt-in enabled (RPC only, default: 0)
-zapwallettxes=<mode>
Delete all wallet transactions and only recover those parts of the
blockchain through -rescan on startup (1 = keep tx meta data e.g.

megabytes (default: 100)

permissions. This will accept relayed transactions even when not
relaying transactions (default: 1)
Block creation options:
-blockmaxweight=<n>
Set maximum BIP141 block weight (default: 3996000)
-blockmintxfee=<amt>
Set lowest fee rate (in BTC/kB) for transactions to be included in block
creation. (default: 0.00001)
-blockversion=<n>
Override block version to test forking scenarios
RPC server options:
-rest
Accept public REST requests (default: 0)
-rpcallowip=<ip>
Allow JSON-RPC connections from specified source. Valid for <ip> are a
single IP (e.g. 1.2.3.4), a network/netmask (e.g.
1.2.3.4/255.255.255.0) or a network/CIDR (e.g. 1.2.3.4/24). This
option can be specified multiple times
-rpcauth=<userpw>
Username and HMAC-SHA-256 hashed password for JSON-RPC connections. The
field <userpw> comes in the format: <USERNAME>:<SALT>$<HASH>. A
canonical python script is included in share/rpcauth. The client
then connects normally using the
rpcuser=<USERNAME>/rpcpassword=<PASSWORD> pair of arguments. This
option can be specified multiple times
-rpcbind=<addr>[:port]
Bind to given address to listen for JSON-RPC connections. Do not expose
the RPC server to untrusted networks such as the public internet!
This option is ignored unless -rpcallowip is also passed. Port is
optional and overrides -rpcport. Use [host]:port notation for
IPv6. This option can be specified multiple times (default:
127.0.0.1 and ::1 i.e., localhost)
-rpccookiefile=<loc>
Location of the auth cookie. Relative paths will be prefixed by a
net-specific datadir location. (default: data dir)
-rpcpassword=<pw>
Password for JSON-RPC connections
-rpcport=<port>
Listen for JSON-RPC connections on <port> (default: 8332, testnet:
18332, regtest: 18443)
-rpcserialversion
Sets the serialization of raw transaction or block hex returned in
non-verbose mode, non-segwit(0) or segwit(1) (default: 1)
-rpcservertimeout=<n>
Timeout during HTTP requests (default: 30)
-rpcthreads=<n>
Set the number of threads to service RPC calls (default: 4)
-rpcuser=<user>
Username for JSON-RPC connections
-rpcwhitelist=<whitelist>
Set a whitelist to filter incoming RPC calls for a specific user. The
field <whitelist> comes in the format: <USERNAME>:<rpc 1>,<rpc
2>,...,<rpc n>. If multiple whitelists are set for a given user,
they are set-intersected. See -rpcwhitelistdefault documentation
for information on default whitelist behavior.
-rpcwhitelistdefault
Sets default behavior for rpc whitelisting. Unless rpcwhitelistdefault
is set to 0, if any -rpcwhitelist is set, the rpc server acts as
if all rpc users are subject to empty-unless-otherwise-specified
whitelists. If rpcwhitelistdefault is set to 1 and no
-rpcwhitelist is set, rpc server acts as if all rpc users are
subject to empty whitelists.
-rpcworkqueue=<n>
Set the depth of the work queue to service RPC calls (default: 16)
-server
Accept command line and JSON-RPC commands
