Example RPC CLI

Simple Regtest Test

  1. Start local regtest bitcoind.
     mkdir -p /tmp/regtest/bitcoind
     bitcoind -regtest -server -fallbackfee=0.0002 -rpcuser=<your-rpc-username> -rpcpassword=<your-rpc-password> -datadir=/tmp/regtest/bitcoind -daemon
    
  2. Create a test bitcoind wallet and set bitcoind env.
    bitcoin-cli -datadir=/tmp/regtest/bitcoind -regtest -rpcuser=<your-rpc-username> -rpcpassword=<your-rpc-password> -named createwallet wallet_name="test"
    export RPC_URL=127.0.0.1:18443
    export RPC_USER=<your-rpc-username>
    export RPC_PASS=<your-rpc-password>
    
  3. Get test bitcoind wallet info.
    bitcoin-cli -rpcwallet="test" -rpcuser=<your-rpc-username> -rpcpassword=<your-rpc-password> -datadir=/tmp/regtest/bitcoind -regtest getwalletinfo
    
  4. Get new test bitcoind wallet address.
    BITCOIND_ADDRESS=$(bitcoin-cli -rpcwallet="test" -datadir=/tmp/regtest/bitcoind -regtest -rpcuser=<your-rpc-username> -rpcpassword=<your-rpc-password> getnewaddress)
    echo $BITCOIND_ADDRESS
    
  5. Generate 101 blocks with reward to test bitcoind wallet address.
    bitcoin-cli -datadir=/tmp/regtest/bitcoind -regtest -rpcuser=<your-rpc-username> -rpcpassword=<your-rpc-password> generatetoaddress 101 $BITCOIND_ADDRESS
    
  6. Verify test bitcoind wallet balance.
    bitcoin-cli -rpcwallet="test" -datadir=/tmp/regtest/bitcoind -regtest -rpcuser=<your-rpc-username> -rpcpassword=<your-rpc-password> getbalances
    
  7. Set descriptor env and get address from RPC CLI wallet.
    export DESCRIPTOR="wpkh(tprv8ZgxMBicQKsPfK9BTf82oQkHhawtZv19CorqQKPFeaHDMA4dXYX6eWsJGNJ7VTQXWmoHdrfjCYuDijcRmNFwSKcVhswzqs4fugE8turndGc/1/*)"
    cargo run -- --network regtest address next
    
  8. Send 5 test bitcoin to RPC CLI wallet.
    bitcoin-cli -rpcwallet="test" -datadir=/tmp/regtest/bitcoind -regtest -rpcuser=<your-rpc-username> -rpcpassword=<your-rpc-password> sendtoaddress <address> 5
    
  9. Sync blockchain with RPC CLI wallet.
    cargo run -- --network regtest sync
    <CNTRL-C to stop syncing>
    
  10. Get RPC CLI wallet unconfirmed balances.
cargo run -- --network regtest balance
  1. Generate 1 block with reward to test bitcoind wallet address.
bitcoin-cli -datadir=/tmp/regtest/bitcoind -rpcuser=<your-rpc-username> -rpcpassword=<your-rpc-password> -regtest generatetoaddress 10 $BITCOIND_ADDRESS
  1. Sync the blockchain with RPC CLI wallet.
cargo run -- --network regtest sync
<CNTRL-C to stop syncing>
  1. Get RPC CLI wallet confirmed balances.
cargo run -- --network regtest balance
  1. Get RPC CLI wallet transactions.
cargo run -- --network regtest txout list
