Request Parameters

• desc: A descriptor to import. This is a required parameter.
• active: Set this descriptor to be the active descriptor for the corresponding output type/externality. This is an optional parameter, with the default value being false.
• range: If a ranged descriptor is used, this specifies the end or the range (in the form [begin, end]) to import. This is an optional parameter.
• next_index: If a ranged descriptor is set to active, this specifies the next index to generate addresses from. This is an optional parameter.
• timestamp: Time from which to start rescanning the blockchain for this descriptor, in UNIX epoch time. Use the string "now" to substitute the current synced blockchain time. This is a required parameter.
• internal: Whether matching outputs should be treated as not incoming payments (e.g., change). This is an optional parameter, with the default value being false.
• label: Label to assign to the address; only allowed with internal = false. This is an optional parameter, with the default value being an empty string.
