z_getnewaccount - Zcash 5.5.0 RPC

z_getnewaccount

Prepares and returns a new account.

Accounts are numbered starting from zero; this RPC method selects the next
available sequential account number within the UA-compatible HD seed phrase.

Each new account is a separate group of funds within the wallet, and adds an
additional performance cost to wallet scanning.

Use the z_getaddressforaccount RPC method to obtain addresses for an account.

Result:
{
  "account": n,       (numeric) the new account number
}

Examples:
> zcash-cli z_getnewaccount 
> curl --user myusername --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "z_getnewaccount", "params": [] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:8232/
