getmempoolancestors
getmempoolancestors "txid" ( verbose ) If txid is in the mempool, returns all in-mempool ancestors. Arguments: 1. txid (string, required) The transaction id (must be in mempool) 2. verbose (boolean, optional, default=false) True for a json object, false for array of transaction ids Result (for verbose = false): [ (json array) "hex", (string) The transaction id of an in-mempool ancestor transaction ... ] Result (for verbose = true): { (json object) "transactionid" : { (json object) "vsize" : n, (numeric) virtual transaction size as defined in BIP 141. This is different from actual serialized size for witness transactions as witness data is discounted. "weight" : n, (numeric) transaction weight as defined in BIP 141. "time" : xxx, (numeric) local time transaction entered pool in seconds since 1 Jan 1970 GMT "height" : n, (numeric) block height when transaction entered pool "descendantcount" : n, (numeric) number of in-mempool descendant transactions (including this one) "descendantsize" : n, (numeric) virtual transaction size of in-mempool descendants (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) "wtxid" : "hex", (string) hash of serialized transaction, including witness data "fees" : { (json object) "base" : n, (numeric) transaction fee, denominated in BTC "modified" : n, (numeric) transaction fee with fee deltas used for mining priority, denominated in BTC "ancestor" : n, (numeric) transaction fees of in-mempool ancestors (including this one) with fee deltas used for mining priority, denominated in BTC "descendant" : n (numeric) transaction fees of in-mempool descendants (including this one) with fee deltas used for mining priority, denominated in BTC }, "depends" : [ (json array) unconfirmed transactions used as inputs for this transaction "hex", (string) parent transaction id ... ], "spentby" : [ (json array) unconfirmed transactions spending outputs from this transaction "hex", (string) child transaction id ... ], "bip125-replaceable" : true|false, (boolean) Whether this transaction signals BIP125 replaceability or has an unconfirmed ancestor signaling BIP125 replaceability.
