'label' API for wallet
A new 'label' API has been introduced for the wallet. This is intended as a replacement for the deprecated 'account' API.
The label RPC methods mirror the account functionality, with the following functional differences:
- Labels can be set on any address, not just receiving addresses. This functionality was previously only available through the GUI.
- Labels can be deleted by reassigning all addresses using the
setlabel
RPC method. - There isn't support for sending transactions from a label, or for determining which label a transaction was sent from.
- Labels do not have a balance.
Here are the changes to RPC methods:
Deprecated Method | New Method | Notes |
---|---|---|
getaccount |
getaddressinfo |
getaddressinfo returns a json object with address information instead of just the name of the account as a string. |
getaccountaddress |
getlabeladdress |
getlabeladdress throws an error by default if the label does not already exist, but provides a force option for compatibility with existing applications. |
getaddressesbyaccount |
getaddressesbylabel |
getaddressesbylabel returns a json object with the addresses as keys, instead of a list of strings. |
getreceivedbyaccount |
getreceivedbylabel |
no change in behavior |
listaccounts |
listlabels |
listlabels does not return a balance or accept minconf and watchonly arguments. |
listreceivedbyaccount |
listreceivedbylabel |
Both methods return new label fields, along with account fields for backward compatibility. |
move |
n/a | no replacement |
sendfrom |
