Most Electrum command-line commands are also available in the console. <br/>
The results are Python objects, even though they are
sometimes rendered as JSON for clarity.<br/>
<br/>
Let us call <tt>listunspent()</tt>, to see the list of unspent outputs in the wallet:
<pre>
>> listunspent()
[
{
"address": "12cmY5RHRgx8KkUKASDcDYRotget9FNso3",
"index": 0,
"raw_output_script": "76a91411bbdc6e3a27c44644d83f783ca7df3bdc2778e688ac",
"tx_hash": "e7029df9ac8735b04e8e957d0ce73987b5c9c5e920ec4a445130cdeca654f096",
"value": 0.01
},
{
"address": "1GavSCND6TB7HuCnJSTEbHEmCctNGeJwXF",
"index": 0,
"raw_output_script": "76a914aaf437e25805f288141bfcdc27887ee5492bd13188ac",
"tx_hash": "b30edf57ca2a31560b5b6e8dfe567734eb9f7d3259bb334653276efe520735df",
"value": 9.04735316
}
]
</pre>
Note that the result is rendered as JSON. <br/>
However, if we save it to a Python variable, it is rendered as a Python object:
<pre>
>> u = listunspent()
>> u
[{'tx_hash': u'e7029df9ac8735b04e8e957d0ce73987b5c9c5e920ec4a445130cdeca654f096', 'index': 0, 'raw_output_script': '76a91411bbdc6e3a27c44644d83f783ca7df3bdc2778e688ac', 'value': 0.01, 'address': '12cmY5RHRgx8KkUKASDcDYRotget9FNso3'}, {'tx_hash': u'b30edf57ca2a31560b5b6e8dfe567734eb9f7d3259bb334653276efe520735df', 'index': 0, 'raw_output_script': '76a914aaf437e25805f288141bfcdc27887ee5492bd13188ac', 'value': 9.04735316, 'address': '1GavSCND6TB7HuCnJSTEbHEmCctNGeJwXF'}]
</pre>
<br/>
This makes it possible to combine Electrum commands with Python.<br/>
For example, let us pick only the addresses in the previous result:
<pre>
>> map(lambda x:x.get('address'), listunspent())
[
"12cmY5RHRgx8KkUKASDcDYRotget9FNso3",
"1GavSCND6TB7HuCnJSTEbHEmCctNGeJwXF"
]
</pre>
Here we combine two commands, <tt>listunspent</tt>
and <tt>dumpprivkeys</tt>, in order to dump the private keys of all adresses that have unspent outputs:
<pre>
>> dumpprivkeys( map(lambda x:x.get('address'), listunspent()) )
{
"12cmY5RHRgx8KkUKASDcDYRotget9FNso3": "***************************************************",
"1GavSCND6TB7HuCnJSTEbHEmCctNGeJwXF": "***************************************************"
}
</pre>
Note that <tt>dumpprivkey</tt> will ask for your password if your
wallet is encrypted.
<br/>
The GUI methods can be accessed through the <tt>gui</tt> variable.
For example, you can display a QR code from a string using
gui.show_qrcode.
Example:
<pre>
gui.show_qrcode(dumpprivkey(listunspent()[0]['address']))
</pre>
