Submit a message
A transaction that submits a topic message to the Hedera network. To access the messages submitted to a topic ID, subscribe to the topic via a mirror node. The mirror node will publish the ordered messages to subscribers. Once the transaction is successfully executed, the receipt of the transaction will include the topic's updated sequence number and topic running hash.
Transaction Signing Requirements
- Anyone can submit a message to a public topic
- The submitKey is required to sign the transaction for a private topic
