Call a smart contract function
The transaction calls a function of the given smart contract instance, giving it
functionParameters as its input. The call can use at maximum the given amount of gas – the paying account will not be charged for any unspent gas.If this function results in data being stored, an amount of gas is calculated that reflects this storage burden.
The amount of gas used, as well as other attributes of the transaction, e.g. size, and number of signatures to be verified, determine the fee for the transaction – which is charged to the paying account.
Transaction Signing Requirements
- The key of the transaction fee-paying account
Transaction Fees
Method | Type | Description | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
setContractId(<contractId>) | ContractID | The ID of the contract to call. | Required |
setFunction(<name, params>) | String, ContractFunctionParameters | Which function to call and the parameters to pass to the function. | Required |
setGas(<gas>) | long | The maximum amount of gas to use for the call. | Required |
setPayableAmount(<amount>) | Hbar | Number of hbars sent (the function must be payable if this is nonzero) | Optional |
