This guide explains Bitcoin Core listreceivedbylabel RPC in plain English. It shows what the command does, what its result means and what it cannot prove.
TL;DR
- What it is: Bitcoin Core 0.18.0 listreceivedbylabel summarised cumulative wallet receipts by label. Optional minconf defaulted to one, include_empty defaulted false and include_watchonly defaulted false.
- Why it matters: listreceivedbylabel is a compact reporting view whose amount and confirmation fields have different aggregation semantics. Safe use preserves those meanings and reconciles every business decision to detailed transactions.
- Current position: Require a second reviewer and explicit rollback or expiry, and pause payments, signing or network-dependent services until post-change evidence is complete.
Bitcoin Core listreceivedbylabel RPC in simple English
Bitcoin Core listreceivedbylabel RPC: Rows group addresses by current wallet label. The report is not a transaction ledger, account balance, UTXO inventory or proof that a payer sent funds.
Simple example
A miner is checking Bitcoin Core listreceivedbylabel RPC. Record threshold and chain tip. Zero includes unconfirmed activity and higher values can still change after a reorganisation.
Key terms in plain English
- Bitcoin Core:
- Widely used software that validates Bitcoin and can provide wallet, network and operator tools.
- RPC:
- A command that software sends to a node to request information or a local action.
- UTXO:
- An unspent transaction output: a piece of bitcoin that can be used as an input to a later transaction.
- Node:
- A computer running Bitcoin software that checks data and communicates with other peers.
Summary scope
Rows group addresses by current wallet label. The report is not a transaction ledger, account balance, UTXO inventory or proof that a payer sent funds.
Minimum confirmations
minconf controls which receipts contribute. Record threshold and chain tip; zero includes unconfirmed activity and higher values can still change after a reorganisation.
Empty labels
include_empty adds labels with no qualifying payments. Distinguish a known zero from absence and avoid creating business records merely because a wallet label exists.
Watch-only
include_watchonly includes imported non-spendable observations. InvolvesWatchonly is conditional, so absence must not be parsed as false without schema-aware handling.
Amount
amount is cumulative received BTC across addresses in the label. Convert to satoshis, and never subtract spending or present it as current holdings.
Confirmations field
The row’s confirmations are for the most recent included transaction, not the oldest, every receipt or the total. One recent payment can lower the displayed value for the whole label.
How specialists test it
Operators test the command on a non-production node first. They check a normal reply, an invalid request, a timeout and a restart. This shows what the response means and prevents one local result from being mistaken for a network-wide outcome.
