Because the title states, I am making an attempt to ship a Litecoin transaction utilizing the Blockcypher API Python SDK, and utilizing Bitcoinlib for key administration. I’ve extensively reviewed the documentation and supply code for the instruments I am working with, and I’ve tried researching this particular error however nonetheless have but to get previous this roadblock.

I’ve gotten to some extent the place the transaction is constructed and and signatures are created, however after I strive broadcasting it, the API returns this error to my console:

First, I attempted utilizing the simple_spend technique as proven under…

from blockcypher import simple_spend
simple_tx = simple_spend(api_key = API_KEY, from_privkey=priv_key_hex,
to_address="ltc1qxdvtqt9tm7rwplk8upezujtjsh6k3l85tw39ue", to_satoshis=10000, coin_symbol="ltc")
print('tx:', simple_tx)

… and this error was produced:

TX Error(s): Tx NOT Signed or Broadcast
Unable to discover a transaction to spend for deal with LhYFhgm6iai5da8ADeoUjs2BnAPoPm74cm.
Not sufficient funds in 0 inputs to pay for 1 outputs, lacking -10000.

Error validating generated transaction: Transaction lacking enter or output.
Traceback (most up-to-date name final):
  File "fundamental.py", line 33, in <module>
    simple_tx = simple_spend(api_key = API_KEY, from_privkey=priv_key_hex, to_address="ltc1qxdvtqt9tm7rwplk8upezujtjsh6k3l85tw39ue", to_satoshis=10000, coin_symbol="ltc")
  File "/residence/runner/sendltc/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/blockcypher/api.py", line 1684, in simple_spend
    increase Exception('Construct Unsigned TX Error')
Exception: Construct Unsigned TX Error

This means that the personal key I supplied is routinely being formatted as a legacy deal with, the place no funds for the enter transaction exist as a result of I funded the segwit spinoff of the personal key. I’ve since verified that this code will correctly execute transactions after I fund the legacy spinoff of the personal key. But it surely doesn’t work after I try to contain a segwit addresses because the sender or receiver.

Since I’m uncertain of how to make sure that the simple_spend technique makes an attempt a segwit transaction, I attempted setting up it piece-by-piece.

This is the code for that:

from bitcoinlib.keys import Key
from blockcypher import create_unsigned_tx, make_tx_signatures, broadcast_signed_transaction

API_KEY = '<api_key>'

wif="<compressed_wif>"


priv_key_hex = Key(wif, community = 'litecoin').private_hex
pub_key_hex = Key(wif, community = 'litecoin').public_hex

sender = Key(priv_key_hex, community = 'litecoin').deal with(prefix='ltc', script_type="p2wpkh", encoding='bech32')
inputs = [{'address': f"{sender}"}]
outputs = [{'address': 'ltc1qxdvtqt9tm7rwplk8upezujtjsh6k3l85tw39ue', 'value': 10000}]

unsigned_tx = create_unsigned_tx(inputs=inputs, outputs=outputs, include_tosigntx=True, coin_symbol="ltc", api_key = API_KEY)
print(unsigned_tx)

privkey_list = [str(priv_key_hex)]
pubkey_list = [str(pub_key_hex)]

tx_signatures = make_tx_signatures(txs_to_sign=unsigned_tx['tosign'], privkey_list=privkey_list, pubkey_list=pubkey_list)
print('')
print(tx_signatures)

tx = broadcast_signed_transaction(unsigned_tx=unsigned_tx, signatures=tx_signatures, pubkeys=pubkey_list, coin_symbol="ltc", api_key = API_KEY)
print('')
print(tx)

So when I attempt to run this, the aforementioned error is returned, stating that the script couldn’t be verified. My hunch is that it has one thing to do with trying to broadcast a legacy transaction whereas I supplied a segwit deal with. Upon viewing related threads on right here, it could appear that the signature is being malformed both as a result of there’s a drawback with how I am deriving my keys, or one way or the other I have to set a flag indicating a segwit transaction. This might result in the foundation of the issue, however I is also overlooking different points.

Any recommendation, pointers, or solutions can be significantly appreciated. Thanks in your time.
