liststreamkeyitems not returning the data field

Question

hello,

the liststreamkeyitems command not returning the data field. it returns all other fields of an entry but not the data field. The data field is large i.e. size: 60000. is there a way to make the data show up in a query or is it too large? if too large what is the typical size limit

 

thanks!

Answer 1

There is a runtime parameter called maxshowndata which controls this, to prevent excessively large items creating huge API responses.

You can change the value of this runtime parameter in a number of ways, described at the top of this page: https://www.multichain.com/developers/runtime-parameters/

Alternatively, you can get the item's data (or specified byte subranges if it is in binary format) by using a separate command gettxoutdata. The txid and vout parameters needed for this can be found in the response from liststreamkeyitems.
