# avm.issueTx - AVAX

Broadcasts a signed X-Chain transaction to the network. The transaction must be constructed and signed offline (typically via AvalancheJS) and submitted as an encoded blob.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type   | Required | Description                              |
| --------- | ------ | -------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| tx        | string | Yes      | Signed transaction blob                  |
| encoding  | string | No       | Encoding — `"hex"` (default) or `"cb58"` |

## Response Example

```json
{

    "id": "getblock.io",
    "result": {
        "txID": "2kxwWpHvZPhMsJcSTmM7a3Da7sExB8pPyF7t4cr2NSwnYqNHni"

}
```

## Response Parameters

| Field       | Type   | Description                                               |
| ----------- | ------ | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| result.txID | string | Transaction ID — use `avm.getTxStatus` to track inclusion |

## Use Cases

* Broadcasting X-Chain asset transfers
* Creating new native assets on Avalanche
* Atomic cross-chain operations from X-Chain

## Error Handling

| Status Code | Error Message       | Cause                                                    |

| -32602      | Invalid params      | Request parameters are missing or malformed              |
| 429         | Too Many Requests   | Rate limit exceeded for your plan                        |
| -32000      | Invalid transaction | Signature invalid, malformed body, or insufficient funds |

## SDK Integration

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="AvalancheJS / Axios" %}

```javascript
// AvalancheJS provides typed clients for P-Chain and X-Chain.
// X-Chain operations are exposed through `avm` in AvalancheJS.
// For raw JSON-RPC access, use a generic HTTP client as in the Request Example.
import axios from 'axios';

const response = await axios.post('https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/ext/bc/X', {
    jsonrpc: '2.0',
    id: 'getblock.io',
    method: 'avm.issueTx',
    params: {"tx": "0x0000000000000003000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000...", "encoding": "hex"}
}});
console.log(response.data);
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Python" %}

```python
# AvalancheJS is JavaScript-only. For Python, use a generic JSON-RPC client.
import requests
import json

url = 'https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/ext/bc/X'
payload = {
    'jsonrpc': '2.0',
    'id': 'getblock.io',
    'method': 'avm.issueTx',
    'params': {"tx": "0x0000000000000003000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000...", "encoding": "hex"}
}}
response = requests.post(url, json=payload)
