executeTransaction

Execute a transaction, committing its effects on chain.

  • transaction contains the transaction data in the desired format.
  • signatures are a list of flag || signature || pubkey bytes, Base64-encoded.

Waits until the transaction has reached finality on chain to return its transaction digest, or returns the error that prevented finality if that was not possible. A transaction is final when its effects are guaranteed on chain (it cannot be revoked).

There may be a delay between transaction finality and when GraphQL requests (including the request that issued the transaction) reflect its effects. As a result, queries that depend on indexing the state of the chain (e.g. contents of output objects, address-level balance information at the time of the transaction), must wait for indexing to catch up by polling for the transaction digest using Query.transaction.

executeTransaction(
  transaction: TransactionExecutionInput!
  signatures: [String!]!
): String!

Arguments​

executeTransaction.transaction ● TransactionExecutionInput! non-null input​

executeTransaction.signatures ● [String!]! non-null scalar​

Type​

String scalar​

The String scalar type represents textual data, represented as UTF-8 character sequences. The String type is most often used by GraphQL to represent free-form human-readable text.
