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.
