Request Parameters

desc: Descriptor to import. If using descriptor, do not also provide address/scriptPubKey, scripts, or pubkeys
scriptPubKey: Type of scriptPubKey (string for script, json for address). Should not be provided if using a descriptor
timestamp: Creation time of the key expressed in UNIX epoch time, or the string "now" to substitute the current synced blockchain time.
redeemscript: Allowed only if the scriptPubKey is a P2SH or P2SH-P2WSH address/scriptPubKey
witnessscript: Allowed only if the scriptPubKey is a P2SH-P2WSH or P2WSH address/scriptPubKey
pubkeys: Array of strings giving pubkeys to import. They must occur in P2PKH or P2WPKH scripts. They are not required when the private key is also provided (see the "keys" argument).
keys: Array of strings giving private keys to import. The corresponding public keys must occur in the output or redeemscript.
