Problem. importmulti
function has a lot of parameters and they are more difficult to understanding then the parameters of another Bitcoin RPC-API functions. Those who are not profi in modern cryptographic achievements have difficult with understanding how to use importmulti
function.
Here is the task that demonstrates the problem.
There is 2 wallets with the Bitcoin Core v.0.19.1:
wallet1 – the wallet with private key for export.
wallet2 – empty wallet into which we need to import the PK+address from wallet1.
So in the wallet1 we have the bitcoin address created by getnewaddress
.
[root@wallet1 ~]# bitcoin-cli getaddressinfo 3M5e4QMBUYtpEewwuuoWCArpiM2fT4KEDy
{
"address": "3M5e4QMBUYtpEewwuuoWCArpiM2fT4KEDy",

I’ve tried to import that address to wallet2 but have failed.
[root@wallet2 ~]# bitcoin-cli importmulti '[{ "scriptPubKey": { "address": "3M5e4QMBUYtpEewwuuoWCArpiM2fT4KEDy" }, "timestamp":"now", "keys": { "Kwngf5FSYmHM5oPHjSoKxtHWUxXiQ5YN5ZR6shmzkYpMMftBh92c":0 } }]' '{"rescan": false}'
result
[
{
"success": false,
"error": {
"code": -1,
"message": "Missing required fields"
}
}
]
What the correct way to import that address using importmulti? Show the example please.
$ bitcoin-cli help importmulti
importmulti "requests" ( "options" )
Import addresses/scripts (with private or public keys, redeem script (P2SH)), optionally rescanning the blockchain from the earliest creation time of the imported scripts. Requires a new wallet backup.
If an address/script is imported without all of the private keys required to spend from that address, it will be watchonly. The 'watchonly' option must be set to true in this case or a warning will be returned.
Conversely, if all the private keys are provided and the address/script is spendable, the watchonly option must be set to false, or a warning will be returned.
Note: This call can take over an hour to complete if rescan is true, during that time, other rpc calls
may report that the imported keys, addresses or scripts exist but related transactions are still missing.
Note: Use "getwalletinfo" to query the scanning progress.

Examples:
> bitcoin-cli importmulti '[{ "scriptPubKey": { "address": "<my address>" }, "timestamp":1455191478 }, { "scriptPubKey": { "address": "<my 2nd address>" }, "label": "example 2", "timestamp": 1455191480 }]'
> bitcoin-cli importmulti '[{ "scriptPubKey": { "address": "<my address>" }, "timestamp":1455191478 }]' '{ "rescan": false}'
As for your specific import you are passing the keys
array (specified as such in the help, see the command above) as an object so bitcoind
could not give you a helpful message :
$ bitcoin-cli importmulti '[{ "scriptPubKey": { "address": "3M5e4QMBUYtpEewwuuoWCArpiM2fT4KEDy" }, "timestamp":"now", "keys": [ "Kwngf5FSYmHM5oPHjSoKxtHWUxXiQ5YN5ZR6shmzkYpMMftBh92c" ], "redeemscript": "00144c88353345f2e03abc8e96b818fd030c3c9f59ab"}]' '{"rescan": false}'

{
"success": true,
}
