rescanblockchain - Bitcoin RPC

rescanblockchain ("start_height") ("stop_height")

Rescan the local blockchain for wallet related transactions.

Arguments:
1. "start_height"    (numeric, optional) block height where the rescan should start
2. "stop_height"     (numeric, optional) the last block height that should be scanned

Result:
{
  "start_height"     (numeric) The block height where the rescan has started. If omitted, rescan started from the genesis block.
  "stop_height"      (numeric) The height of the last rescanned block. If omitted, rescan stopped at the chain tip.
}

Examples:
> bitcoin-cli rescanblockchain 100000 120000
> curl --user myusername --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "rescanblockchain", "params": [100000, 120000] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:8332/

This is a website, created out of frustration with uncomplete and outdated Bitcoin Core RPC documentation online.

It was inspired by ChainQuery, which seems to be abandoned. These docs are even simplier, so they can be regenerated by anyone.

Made by @karel_3d; license of the docs is MIT (see bitcoin repo), license of the scripts and webpage is also MIT ((C) 2018 Karel Bilek) (github repo)

Bitcoin version: 0.16.0.

Note that the RPC is from a regtest node (for completeness), so it includes some additional calls that a regular node doesn't have.
