Hello, yes I´ve sound a little bit cryptical.

I mean Command Line Flags like this one:
./Electrum -w ~/path/to/your-new-wallet-file

I would like to automate some tasks from an external app. Console is great, has all I need but I don´t know how can I send or use his commands from Electrum outside app.

Thanks for your answers.

IIRC, Electrum 2.0 (out soon) will have a daemon mode, which should make this type of use much easier.

I think the OP was asking for either globals he could address from the console (gui.dosomething()) or flags from the command line?

Thanks for your answer!

Which one are the Attributes that can be used for Electrum?? I´ve seen two of them -w (wallet) and -g (gui) but I don´t know if there are others...

BR!

Not sure what you mean by attributes but if you want see all the electrum commands just type:

electrum help

in a command prompt. For command specific help type

electrum help

For example:

electrum help restore

The above instructions are for a recent version of electrum like 1.9.7. Older versions didn't expose command line options like these.

Hello,

I´ve been testing some commands from this list but I´m getting some failures.
https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/lib/commands.py

I´m using Windows Electrum version and I would like to know how to use this two commands through command line console :
importprivkey, getbalance

Is there any chance to use that commands as attributes when launching the application? Can I access to that commands with an external Application (I´m developing an APP on VC#), a plugin maybe?

Thanks and regards!

These are Python function calls, you need to express them like this:

>> getbalance()

You should see this...

{
"confirmed": "yourbalance"
}
>>

You need to wrap input data with quote marks, so to use importprivkey, you'll need to importprivkey("").

>> importprivkey("54j4i5j3lkj4j5i3jojogjgirirjrgijrigjoirjgorijg")
