sign_for

[Source]

The sign_for command provides one signature for a multi-signed transaction.

By default, this method is admin-only. It can be used as a public method if the server admin has enabled public signing.

This command requires the MultiSign amendment to be enabled.

Request Format

An example of the request format:

{
    "id": "sign_for_example",
    "command": "sign_for",
    "account": "rLFd1FzHMScFhLsXeaxStzv3UC97QHGAbM",
    "seed": "s████████████████████████████",
    "key_type": "ed25519",
    "tx_json": {
        "TransactionType": "TrustSet",
        "Account": "rEuLyBCvcw4CFmzv8RepSiAoNgF8tTGJQC",
        "Flags": 262144,
        "LimitAmount": {
            "currency": "USD",
            "issuer": "rHb9CJAWyB4rj91VRWn96DkukG4bwdtyTh",
            "value": "100"
        },
        "Sequence": 2,
        "SigningPubKey": "",
        "Fee": "30000"
    }
}

The request includes the following parameters:

FieldTypeDescription
accountString - AddressThe address which is providing the signature.
tx_jsonObjectThe Transaction to sign. Unlike using the sign method, all fields of the transaction must be provided, including Fee and Sequence. The transaction must include the field SigningPubKey with an empty string as the value. The object may optionally contain a Signers array with previously-collected signatures.
secretString(Optional) Secret key of the account supplying the transaction, used to sign it. Do not send your secret to untrusted servers or through unsecured network connections. Cannot be used with key_type, seed, seed_hex, or passphrase.
seedString(Optional) Secret key of the account supplying the transaction, used to sign it. Must be in the XRP Ledger's base58 format. If provided, you must also specify the key_type. Cannot be used with secret, seed_hex, or passphrase.
seed_hexString(Optional) Secret key of the account supplying the transaction, used to sign it. Must be in hexadecimal format. If provided, you must also specify the key_type. Cannot be used with secret, seed, or passphrase.
passphraseString(Optional) Secret key of the account supplying the transaction, used to sign it, as a string passphrase. If provided, you must also specify the key_type. Cannot be used with secret, seed, or seed_hex.
key_typeString(Optional) Type of cryptographic key provided in this request. Valid types are secp256k1 or ed25519. Defaults to secp256k1. Cannot be used with secret. Caution: Ed25519 support is experimental.

You must provide exactly 1 field with the secret key, which can be either of the following:

  • Provide a secret value and omit the key_type field. This value can be formatted as an XRP Ledger base58 seed, RFC-1751, hexadecimal, or as a string passphrase. (secp256k1 keys only)
  • Provide a key_type value and exactly one of seed, seed_hex, or passphrase. Omit the secret field. (Not supported by the commandline syntax.)

The response follows the standard format, with a successful result containing the following fields:

FieldTypeDescription
tx_blobStringHexadecimal representation of the signed transaction, including the newly-added signature. If it has enough signatures, you can submit this string using the submit method.
tx_jsonObjectThe transaction specification in JSON format, with the newly-added signature in the Signers array. If it has enough signatures, you can submit this object using the submit_multisigned method.

Possible Errors
