Derived Keys Transaction API

Description of endpoints used to construct Derived Key Transactions on the DeSo blockchain

Authorize Derived Key

POST /api/v0/authorize-derived-key

Create an authorize derived key transaction. Transaction needs to be signed and submitted through api/v0/submit-transaction before changes come into effect.

Authorize derived key transactions allows another public key to submit transaction on behalf of the owner public key.

Endpoint implementation in backend.

Request Body

Name	Type	Description
OwnerPublicKeyBase58Check*	String	Public key of the derived key owner
DerivedPublicKeyBase58Check*	String	The derived public key
ExpirationBlock*	uint64	Height of block after which this derived key will no longer work.
AccessSignature*	String	The signature of hash(derived key + expiration block) made by the owner.
DeleteKey*	Boolean	The intended operation on the derived key. If true, this derived key will no longer be valid.
MinFeeRateNanosPerKB*	uint64	Rate per KB
TransactionFees	TransactionFee[]	Array of TransactionFee objects that define additional outputs that need to be added to this transaction
TransactionSpendingLimitHex*	String	Hex string representing a TransactionSpendingLimit struct that will be merged with the TransactionSpendingLimitTracker for this derived key. We require this be sent as a hex in order toguarantee that the AccessHash computed from this value is consistent with what the user is requesting. The TransactionSpendingLimit is an object defining the permissions of this derived key. Derived key will be restricted to certain transaction types and can only spend up to the specified amount of DESO. See the section on TransactionSpendingLimitResponse for more details.
Memo	String	Memo to describe the purpose of this derived key
AppName	String	App requested this derived key. This is used if a memo is not provided so a user can remember which app has access with this derived key.
ExtraData	map[string]string	extra data, values must be strings. This is an arbitrary json object that can be used to add extra metadata on a derived key
DerivedKeySignature	Boolean	Set to true if you intend to sign this transaction with the derived public key instead of the owner public key. This will add the DerivedPublicKey to ExtraData

200: OK Successfully constructed Authorize Derived Key transaction
