`create`

Post a transfer between balances (or indicators) through prompts for amount, precision, parties, reference, and inflight options. Handy for quick manual tests; multi-leg or high-volume flows should go through your application integration instead.

blnk transactions create [options]

The interactive flow covers common fields. For complex multi-leg or bulk transactions, use your application integration against Core directly.

Arguments The CLI prompts for these values. They are not passed on the command line.

Argument	Type	Required	Description
`amount`	string	Yes	Transaction amount. Prompt: `amount >`
`precision`	integer	Yes	Amount precision (for example `100` for cents). Prompt: `precision >`
`currency`	string	Yes	Currency code. Prompt: `currency >`
`source`	string	Yes	Source balance ID or indicator. Prompt: `source >`
`destination`	string	Yes	Destination balance ID or indicator. Prompt: `destination >`
`reference`	string	Yes	Unique reference for the transaction. Prompt: `reference >`
`description`	string	Yes	Short description. Prompt: `description >`
`allow_overdraft`	boolean	No	Whether overdraft is allowed. Prompt: `allow overdraft >`
`inflight`	boolean	No	Whether the transaction is inflight. Prompt: `inflight >`
`meta_data`	object	No	Optional metadata as JSON. Prompt: `metadata (json) >`. Press Enter to skip.

Options

Option	Type	Description
`--json`	boolean	After a successful create, print the full API response as JSON.
`-h, --help`	boolean	Show help for this command.

Usage

Create new transaction

Run the command:

blnk transactions create

The CLI prompts for each argument:

amount >

destination >
reference >
description >
allow overdraft >
inflight >
metadata (json) >

Press Enter at the metadata prompt to leave it empty.
