Wallet RPC, not available on our node. Wallet operation. Our node runs without a wallet, so this RPC is structurally unreachable here. Docs are kept for reference.
Call from your own code

Replace $BITCOIN_RPC_USER / $BITCOIN_RPC_PASSWORD with credentials from your bitcoind's bitcoin.conf, and replace localhost:8332 with your node's RPC address. You can't run this RPC against our node (we run wallet=0), but you can run it against your own bitcoind.

dumpwallet "filename"

Dumps all wallet keys in a human-readable format to a server-side file. This does not allow overwriting existing files.
Imported scripts are included in the dumpfile, but corresponding BIP173 addresses, etc. may not be added automatically by importwallet.
Note that if your wallet contains keys which are not derived from your HD seed (e.g. imported keys), these are not covered by
only backing up the seed itself, and must be backed up too (e.g. ensure you back up the whole dumpfile).

Arguments:
1. filename    (string, required) The filename with path (absolute path recommended)

Result:
{                        (json object)
  "filename" : "str"     (string) The filename with full absolute path
}

Examples:
> bitcoin-cli dumpwallet "test"
> curl --user myusername --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id": "curltest", "method": "dumpwallet", "params": ["test"]}' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:8332/
