Submit transaction

POST 
/transactions

This endpoint supports transaction submission in two formats.

  1. Submitting in JSON format:
  • First encode the transaction in BCS. If your language has a BCS-supporting library, use it.
  • If you cannot encode BCS directly, you can use the Encode Submission API. When using this API, you must only send requests to a trusted node, as the node could tamper with the request content.
  • Sign the encoded transaction.
  • Submit the signed transaction with "application/json" Content-Type.
  1. Submitting in BCS format:
  • Submit the BCS-encoded signed transaction with "application/x.aptos.signed_transaction+bcs" Content-Type.
