# Transaction request

## Generate :unlock:

To create a transaction request as a dApp, you will need to provide a sign in token and a transaction.

{% hint style="info" %}
A **partial transaction** is a transaction with the **TransactionSkeletonType** format specified in the library [**Lumos**](https://github.com/ckb-js/lumos). You need to attach the necessary fields that you want your transaction to have so that it can be processed by the API.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Each transaction request has **7 days** to be signed or rejected before it expires.
{% endhint %}

{% openapi src="/files/IoEMLLlEMYecgfMTUZ2D" path="/api/transaction-request" method="post" %}
[openapi-spec.json](https://4100684485-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FPlB1oN5qXYGlSUWHxkql%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-cbbcae6fea374cebec1fa40b6477c93b3c9f8e5b%2Fopenapi-spec.json?alt=media)
{% endopenapi %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Remember that to create a transaction request successfully **you need to provide a signed sign in token.** If the provided token is not signed your request will be rejected.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
This is a protected call which uses API authentication. See how to implement it in [**API authentication**](/api/authentication.md) section.
{% endhint %}
