getmempooldescendants¶

getmempooldescendants "txid" ( verbose )

If txid is in the mempool, returns all in-mempool descendants.

Argument #1 - txid¶

Type: string, required

The transaction id (must be in mempool)

Argument #2 - verbose¶

Type: boolean, optional, default=false

True for a json object, false for array of transaction ids

Result (for verbose = false)¶

[                       (json array of strings)
  "transactionid"           (string) The transaction id of an in-mempool descendant transaction
  ,...
]

Result (for verbose = true)¶

    "height" : n,           (numeric) block height when transaction entered pool
    "descendantcount" : n,  (numeric) number of in-mempool descendant transactions (including this one)

    "ancestorcount" : n,    (numeric) number of in-mempool ancestor transactions (including this one)
    "ancestorsize" : n,     (numeric) virtual transaction size of in-mempool ancestors (including this one)
    "ancestorfees" : n,     (numeric) modified fees (see above) of in-mempool ancestors (including this one) (DEPRECATED)
    "wtxid" : hash,         (string) hash of serialized transaction, including witness data
    "fees" : {
        "base" : n,         (numeric) transaction fee in BTC

        "descendant" : n,   (numeric) modified fees (see above) of in-mempool descendants (including this one) in BTC
    }
    "depends" : [           (array) unconfirmed transactions used as inputs for this transaction
        "transactionid",    (string) parent transaction id
