send_transaction2

Attempts to apply a transaction to the blockchain specified in JSON format. It supports returning the full trace of a failed transaction and automatic nodeos-mediated retry if it is enabled on the node. When transaction retry is enabled on an API node, it will monitor incoming API transactions and ensure they are resubmitted additional times into the P2P network until they expire or are included in a block. Warning, full failure traces are now returned by default instead of exceptions. Be careful to not confuse a returned trace as an indication of speculative execution success. Verify 'receipt' and 'except' fields of the returned trace.

Request Body schema: application/json
return_failure_trace
boolean

If true, then embed transaction exceptions into the returned transaction trace.

retry_trx
boolean

If true, requests to retry transaction until gets in a block of given height, see retry_trx_num_blocks as well, or it is irreversible or expires.

retry_trx_num_blocks
integer

If retry_trx is true, requests to retry transaction until in a block of given height, or lib if not specified.

compute_transaction

Executes specified transaction and creates a transaction trace, including resource usage, and then reverts all state changes but not contribute to the subjective billing for the account. If the transaction has signatures, they are processed, but any failures are ignored. Transactions which fail always include the transaction failure trace. Warning, users with exposed nodes who have enabled the compute_transaction endpoint should implement some throttling to protect from Denial of Service attacks.
