Transaction
klay_call
Executes a new message call immediately without creating a transaction on the block chain. It returns data or an error object of JSON RPC if error occurs.
Parameters
callObject
Object
The transaction call object. See the next table for the object's properties.
blockNumberOrHash
QUANTITY | TAG | HASH
Integer or hexadecimal block number, or the string "earliest", "latest" or "pending" as in the default block parameter, or block hash.
NOTE: In versions earlier than Klaytn v1.7.0, only integer block number, the string "earliest" and "latest" are available.
callObject has the following properties:
from
20-byte DATA
(optional) The address the transaction is sent from.
to
20-byte DATA
(optional when testing the deployment of a new contract) The address the transaction is directed to.
gas
QUANTITY
(optional) Integer of the gas provided for the transaction execution. klay_call consumes zero gas, but this parameter may be needed by some executions.
gasPrice
QUANTITY
(optional) Integer of the gasPrice used for each paid gas.
value
QUANTITY
(optional) Integer of the value sent with this transaction.
input
DATA
(optional) Hash of the method signature and encoded parameters. It replaces data field, but 'data` field is still supported for backward compatibility.
Return Value
DATA
The return value of executed contract.
If you deployed a contract, use klay_getTransactionReceipt to get the contract address.
Error
It returns an error object of JSON RPC if anything goes wrong. For example, an error object with a message "evm: execution reverted" will be generated if a message call is terminated with REVERT opcode.
Example
klay_estimateGas
Generates and returns an estimate of how much gas is necessary to allow the transaction to complete. The transaction will not be added to the blockchain. Note that the estimate may be significantly more than the amount of gas actually used by the transaction, for a variety of reasons including Klaytn Virtual Machine mechanics and node performance.
Parameters
callObject
Object
The transaction call object. See the next table for the object's properties.
callObject has the following properties:
from
20-byte DATA
(optional) The address the transaction is sent from.
to
20-byte DATA
(optional when testing the deployment of a new contract) The address the transaction is directed to.
gas
QUANTITY
(optional) Integer of the upper gas limit provided for the gas estimation. If no gas limit is specified, the Klaytn node uses the designated gas limit as an upper bound.
gasPrice
QUANTITY
(optional) Integer of the gasPrice used for each paid gas.
value
QUANTITY
(optional) Integer of the value sent with this transaction.
input
DATA
(optional) Hash of the method signature and encoded parameters. It replaces data field, but 'data` field is still supported for backward compatibility.
Return Value
QUANTITY
The amount of gas used.
Example
klay_estimateComputationCost
Generates and returns an estimate of how much computation cost will be spent to execute the transaction. Klaytn limits the computation cost of a transaction to 100000000 currently not to take too much time by a single transaction. The transaction will not be added to the blockchain like klay_estimateGas.
Parameters
See klay_call parameters, except that all properties are optional. If no gas limit is specified, the Klaytn node uses the default gas limit (uint64 / 2) as an upper bound.
Return Value
QUANTITY
The amount of computation cost used.

Constructs a transaction with given parameters, signs the transaction with a sender's private key and propagates the transaction to Klaytn network.
NOTE: The address to sign with must be unlocked.
Parameters
The required parameters depend on the transaction type. Check the proper parameters in Working with Klaytn Transaction Types.
Return Value
32-byte DATA
The transaction hash
If you deployed a contract, use klay_getTransactionReceipt to get the contract address.
Example
klay_sendTransactionAsFeePayer
Constructs a transaction with given parameters, signs the transaction with a fee payer's private key and propagates the transaction to Klaytn network. This API supports only fee delegated type (including partial fee delegated type) transactions.
NOTE: The fee payer address to sign with must be unlocked.
Parameters
The required parameters depend on the transaction type. Check the proper parameters in Working with Klaytn Transaction Types.
Return Value
32-byte DATA
The transaction hash
If you deployed a contract, use klay_getTransactionReceipt to get the contract address.
Example
klay_signTransaction
Constructs a transaction with given parameters and signs the transaction with a sender's private key. This method can be used either to generate a sender signature or to make a final raw transaction that is ready to submit to Klaytn network.
NOTE: The address to sign with must be unlocked.
Parameters

Return Value
raw

This method can be used either to generate a fee payer signature or to make a final raw transaction that is ready to submit to Klaytn network. In case you just want to extract the fee-payer signature, simply take the feePayerSignatures from the result. Note that the raw transaction is not final if the sender's signature is not attached (that is, signatures in tx is empty).
