force_relay

Forces the daemon to relay one or more already-known raw transactions to its peers again, bypassing the normal pool-relay throttling. This is a legacy plain-HTTP endpoint, not a JSON-RPC method — POST directly to /force_relay (not /json_rpc), and the body/response have no jsonrpc/method/id envelope.

Request​

POST http://127.0.0.1:11232/force_relay
{
  "txs_as_hex": [
    "01f2a3..."
  ]
}

Request parameters​

  • txs_as_hex - array of transactions to relay, each serialized and hex-encoded.

Response​

{
  "status": "OK"
}

Response information​

  • status - "OK" once the relay was attempted. This endpoint is meant for wallets/services that already have a valid, previously-broadcast transaction and want to nudge its propagation — it does not re-validate or re-sign anything, so submitting an invalid transaction here does not usefully re-attempt it (use /sendrawtransaction to submit a new transaction).
