# importpubkey {disallowed} - Dash

#### Parameters

`Public Key` - string (hex)

The public key to import.

`Label` - string

Optional.

The label the key should be assigned.

`Rescan` - bool

Optional.

Set to true (the default) to rescan the entire local block database for transactions affecting any address or pubkey script in the wallet (including transaction affecting the newly-added address for this private key).

Set to false to not rescan the block database (rescanning can be performed at any time by restarting Dash Core with the -rescan command-line argument).

Rescanning may take several minutes. Notes: if the address for this key is already in the wallet, the block database will not be rescanned even if this parameter is set.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.getblock.io/api-reference/dash-dash/dash_importpubkey.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
