Requires a new wallet backup. 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 address exists but related transactions are still missing, leading to temporarily incorrect/bogus balances and unspent outputs until rescan completes. If you have the full public key, you should call importpubkey instead of this. Note: If you import a non-standard raw script in hex form, outputs sending to it will be treated as change, and not show up in many RPCs. Arguments: 1. address (string, required) The Bitcoin address (or hex-encoded script) 2. label (string, optional, default="") An optional label 3. rescan (boolean, optional, default=true) Rescan the wallet for transactions 4. p2sh (boolean, optional, default=false) Add the P2SH version of the script as well Examples: Import an address with rescan > bitcoin-cli importaddress "myaddress" Import using a label without rescan > bitcoin-cli importaddress "myaddress" "testing" false As a JSON-RPC call > curl --user myusername --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "importaddress", "params": ["myaddress", "testing", false] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:8332/
