# Create Transaction Request

The following HTTP POST parameters are common to all API calls that create transactions:

`secretPhrase` is the secret passphrase of the account (optional, but transaction neither signed nor broadcast if omitted)\
`publicKey` is the public key of the account (optional if secretPhrase provided)\
`feeNQT` is the is the fee (in NQT) for the transaction\
`deadline` deadline (in minutes) for the transaction to be confirmed, 1440 minutes maximum\
`broadcast` is set to false to prevent broadcasting the transaction to the network (optional)\
`message` is either UTF-8 text or a string of hex digits (perhaps previously encoded using an arbitrary algorithm) to be converted into a bytecode with a maximum length of one kilobyte\
`messageIsText` is false if the message is a hex string, otherwise the message is text (optional)\
`messageToEncrypt` is either UTF-8 text or a string of hex digits to be compressed and converted into a bytecode with a maximum length of one kilobyte, then encrypted using AES (optional)\
`messageToEncryptIsText` is false if the message to encrypt is a hex string, otherwise, the message to encrypt is text (optional)\
`encryptedMessageData` is already encrypted data which overrides messageToEncrypt if provided (optional)\
`encryptedMessageNonce` is a unique 32-byte number which cannot be reused (optional unless encryptedMessageData is provided)\
`messageToEncryptToSelf` is either UTF-8 text or a string of hex digits to be compressed and converted into a one-kilobyte maximum bytecode then encrypted with AES, then sent to the sending account (optional)\
`messageToEncryptToSelfIsText` is false if the message to self-encrypt is a hex string, otherwise the message to encrypt is text (optional)\
`encryptToSelfMessageData` is already encrypted data which overrides messageToEncryptToSelf if provided (optional)\
`encryptToSelfMessageNonce` is a unique 32-byte number which cannot be reused (optional unless encryptToSelfMessageData is provided)\
`recipientPublicKey` is the public key of the receiving account (optional, enhances the security of a new account)
