Protocol Methods¶
blockchain.address.get_balance¶
Return the confirmed and unconfirmed balances of a Bitcoin Cash address.
Signature
blockchain.address.
get_balance
(address[, token_filter])¶New in version 1.4.3.
Changed in version 1.5.0: Added optional arg: token_filter (BCH only)
address
The address as a Cash Address string (with or without prefix, case insensitive). Some server implementations do not support Legacy (base58) addresses and are not required to do so by this specification. However, Fulcrum does support both Legacy and Cash Address encodings.
token_filter (optional, BCH only)
A string, one of:
"include_tokens"
,"exclude_tokens"
or"tokens_only"
. This controls whether the balance also includes CashToken-containing UTXOs, whether to exclude them, or whether to return the balance for CashToken UTXOs only, respectively.The default is
"exclude_tokens"
if the client negotiated version 1.4.x or below with the server. If the client negotiated version 1.5.0 or above, the default is"include_tokens"
.
Result
blockchain.address.get_history¶
Return the confirmed and unconfirmed history of a Bitcoin Cash address.
Signature
blockchain.address.
get_history
(address, from_height=0, to_height=-1)¶New in version 1.4.3.
Changed in version 1.5.1: Allow pagination of history (added from_height, to_height)
address
The address as a Cash Address string (with or without prefix, case insensitive). Some server implementations do not support Legacy (base58) addresses and are not required to do so by this specification. However, Fulcrum does support both Legacy and Cash Address encodings.
from_height
The first block height (inclusive) of the interval the client is interested in. A non-negative integer. Optional.
to_height
The last block height (exclusive) of the interval the client is interested in. A non-negative integer, or
-1
. Optional. A value of-1
means that the interval extends to the chaintip and also includes unconfirmed/mempool transactions (otherwise mempool txs are not included).from_height <= to_height
must hold (for the purposes of this inequality and others here, treat a value of-1
as infinity).
Result

Return the unconfirmed transactions of a Bitcoin Cash address.
Signature
blockchain.address.
get_mempool
(address)¶New in version 1.4.3.
address
The address as a Cash Address string (with or without prefix, case insensitive). Some server implementations do not support Legacy (base58) addresses and are not required to do so by this specification. However, Fulcrum does support both Legacy and Cash Address encodings.
Result
blockchain.address.get_scripthash¶
Translate a Bitcoin Cash address to a script hash. This method is potentially useful for clients preferring to work with script hashes but lacking the local libraries necessary to generate them.
Signature
blockchain.address.
get_scripthash
(address)¶New in version 1.4.3.
address
The address as a Cash Address string (with or without prefix, case insensitive). Some server implementations do not support Legacy (base58) addresses and are not required to do so by this specification. However, Fulcrum does support both Legacy and Cash Address encodings.

blockchain.address.listunspent¶
Return an ordered list of UTXOs sent to a Bitcoin Cash address.
Signature
blockchain.address.
listunspent
(address[, token_filter])¶New in version 1.4.3.
Changed in version 1.5.0: Added optional arg: token_filter (BCH only). token_data may appear in the result object if the UTXO contains a CashToken (BCH only).
address
The address as a Cash Address string (with or without prefix, case insensitive). Some server implementations do not support Legacy (base58) addresses and are not required to do so by this specification. However, Fulcrum does support both Legacy and Cash Address encodings.token_filter (optional, BCH only)
A string, one of:
"include_tokens"
,"exclude_tokens"
or"tokens_only"
. This controls whether the results also include CashToken-containing UTXOs, whether to exclude them, or whether to return CashToken UTXOs only, respectively.The default is
"exclude_tokens"
if the client negotiated version 1.4.x or below with the server. If the client negotiated version 1.5.0 or above, the default is"include_tokens"
.
Result
blockchain.address.subscribe¶
Subscribe to a Bitcoin Cash address.
Signature
blockchain.address.
subscribe
(address)¶New in version 1.4.3.
address
The address as a Cash Address string (with or without prefix, case insensitive). Some server implementations do not support Legacy (base58) addresses and are not required to do so by this specification. However, Fulcrum does support both Legacy and Cash Address encodings.
Result
The status of the address.
Notifications
As this is a subcription, the client will receive a notification when the status of the address changes. Its signature is
blockchain.address.
subscribe
(address, status)Note
The address returned back to the client when notifying of status changes will be in the same encoding and syle as was provided when subscribing. In effect, a whitespace-stripped version of the address string that the client provided will be sent back to the client when notifying, in order to make it easier for clients to track the notification.
It is unspecified what happens if a client subscribes to the same address using multiple encodings or styles, but it is RECOMMENDED that servers simply update their internal subscription tables on subsequent subscriptions to the same destination such that they honor the latest subscription only, and not subscribe clients multiple times to the same logical destination. For example, Fulcrum server will simply update its table for how to refer to the subscription and send clients subsequent notifications using the latest encoding style of that particular address that the client last provided.
Similarly, if a client mixes blockchain.address.* and blockchain.scripthash.* calls to the server, it is RECOMMENDED that the server treat all addresses as equivalent to their scripthashes internally such that it is possible to subscribe by address and later unsubscribe by scripthash, for example.
blockchain.address.unsubscribe¶
Unsubscribe from a Bitcoin Cash address, preventing future notifications if its status changes.
Signature
blockchain.address.
unsubscribe
(address)¶New in version 1.4.3.
address
The address as a Cash Address string (with or without prefix, case insensitive). Some server implementations do not support Legacy (base58) addresses and are not required to do so by this specification. However, Fulcrum does support both Legacy and Cash Address encodings.
Result
Returnstrue
if the address was previously subscribed-to, otherwisefalse
. Note thatfalse
might be returned even for something subscribed-to earlier, because the server can drop subscriptions in rare circumstances.
blockchain.block.header¶
Return the block header at the given height.
Signature
blockchain.block.

Checkpoint height, a non-negative integer. Ignored if zero, otherwise the following must hold:
height <= cp_height
Result
If cp_height is zero, the raw block header as a hexadecimal string.
Otherwise a dictionary with the following keys. This provides a proof that the given header is present in the blockchain; presumably the client has the merkle root hard-coded as a checkpoint.
branch
The merkle branch of header up to root, deepest pairing first.
header
The raw block header as a hexadecimal string.
root
The merkle root of all blockchain headers up to and including cp_height.

start_height
The height of the first header requested, a non-negative integer.count
The number of headers requested, a non-negative integer.cp_height
Checkpoint height, a non-negative integer. Ignored if zero, otherwise the following must hold:
start_height + (count - 1) <= cp_height
Result
A dictionary with the following members:
count
The number of headers returned, between zero and the number requested. If the chain has not extended sufficiently far, only the available headers will be returned. If more headers than max were requested at most max will be returned.

max
The maximum number of headers the server will return in a single request.
The dictionary additionally has the following keys if count and cp_height are not zero. This provides a proof that all the given headers are present in the blockchain; presumably the client has the merkle root hard-coded as a checkpoint.
root
The merkle root of all blockchain headers up to and including cp_height.
branch
The merkle branch of the last returned header up to root, deepest pairing first.

height
The height of the header, an integer.
hex

}
Notifications
As this is a subcription, the client will receive a notification when a new block is found. The notification’s signature is:
blockchain.headers.
subscribe
(header)
header
See Result above.
Note
Should a new block arrive quickly, perhaps while the server is still processing prior blocks, the server may only notify of the most recent chain tip. The protocol does not guarantee notification of all intermediate block headers.
In a similar way the client must be prepared to handle chain reorganisations. Should a re-org happen the new chain tip will not sit directly on top of the prior chain tip. The client must be able to figure out the common ancestor block and request any missing block headers to acquire a consistent view of the chain state.
blockchain.headers.unsubscribe¶
Undoes the effects of a previous call to blockchain.headers.subscribe()
,
that is to say: unsubscribe from receiving block header notifications.

Changed in version 1.4.5: dsproof key added (optional).
Changed in version 1.5.0: cashtokens key added (optional).
Result
A dictionary of keys and values. Each key represents a feature or service of the server, and the value gives additional information.
The following features MUST be reported by the server. Additional key-value pairs may be returned.
genesis_hash
The hash of the genesis block. This is used to detect if a peer is connected to one serving a different network.
hash_function
The hash function the server uses for script hashing. The client must use this function to hash pay-to-scripts to produce script hashes to send to the server. The default is “sha256”. “sha256” is currently the only acceptable value.
server_version
A string that identifies the server software. Should be the same as the result to the
server.version()
RPC call.protocol_max
protocol_min
Strings that are the minimum and maximum Electrum Cash protocol versions this server speaks. Example: “1.1”.
pruning
An integer, the pruning limit. Omit or set to
null
if there is no pruning limit. Should be the same as what would suffix the letterp
in the IRC real name.The following features are RECOMMENDED that be reported by the servers.
hosts
A dictionary, keyed by host name, that this server can be reached at. If this dictionary is missing, then this is a way to signal to other servers that while this host is reachable, it does not wish to peer with other servers. A server SHOULD stop peering with a peer if it sees the hosts dictionary for its peer is empty and/or no longer contains the expected route (e.g. hostname). Normally this dictionary will only contain a single entry; other entries can be used in case there are other connection routes (e.g. Tor).
The value for a host is itself a dictionary, with the following optional keys:
ssl_port
An integer. Omit or set to
null
if SSL connectivity is not provided.tcp_port
An integer. Omit or set to
null
if TCP connectivity is not provided.ws_port
An integer. Omit or set to
null
if Web Socket (ws://) connectivity is not provided.wss_port
An integer. Omit or set to
null
if Web Socket Secure (wss://) connectivity is not provided.A server should ignore information provided about any host other than the one it connected to.
dsproof
A boolean value. If present and set to
true
, then the server has double-spend proof support, and it supports theblockchain.transaction.dsproof.*
set of RPC methods. If this key is missing orfalse
, then the server does not support dsproofs.cashtokens
A boolean value. If present and set to
true
, then the server has CashToken support, and it may return additional token_data in UTXO-related results from some of its RPC methods. If this key is missing orfalse
, then the server does not support CashTokens.
Example Result

server.peers.subscribe¶
Return a list of peer servers. Despite the name this is not a subscription and the server must send no notifications.
Signature
server.peers.
subscribe
()¶
Result
An array of peer servers, each returned as a 3-element array. For example:
["107.150.45.210", "e.anonyhost.org", ["v1.0", "p10000", "t", "s995"]]The first element is the IP address, the second is the host name (which might also be an IP address), and the third is a list of server features. Each feature and starts with a letter. ‘v’ indicates the server maximum protocol version, ‘p’ its pruning limit and is omitted if it does not prune, ‘t’ is the TCP port number, and ‘s’ is the SSL port number. If a port is not given for ‘s’ or ‘t’ the default port for the coin network is implied. If ‘s’ or ‘t’ is missing then the server does not support that transport.
server.ping¶

Signature
server.
ping
()¶New in version 1.2.
Result
Returnsnull
.
server.version¶
Identify the client to the server and negotiate the protocol version.
Only the first server.version()
message is accepted.
Signature
server.
version
(client_name="", protocol_version="1.4")¶
client_name
A string identifying the connecting client software.
protocol_version
An array
[protocol_min, protocol_max]
, each of which is a string. Ifprotocol_min
andprotocol_max
are the same, they can be passed as a single string rather than as an array of two strings, as for the default value.The server should use the highest protocol version both support:
version = min(client.protocol_max, server.protocol_max)If this is below the value:
max(client.protocol_min, server.protocol_min)then there is no protocol version in common and the server must close the connection. Otherwise it should send a response appropriate for that protocol version.
Result
An array of 2 strings:
[server_software_version, protocol_version]
identifying the server and the protocol version that will be used for future communication.
Example:
server.version("Electron Cash 4.2.12", ["1.4", "1.4.5"])
Example Result:
["Fulcrum 1.9.0", "1.4.5"]
