How to use `scantxoutset`

[mikemilla]

What is the proper syntax for the descriptor of scantxoutset

Here is what I've tried:

const descriptorAttempts = [
    '{ desc: addr(34xp4vRoCGJym3xR7yCVPFHoCNxv4Twseo) }', 
    '{ "desc": "addr(34xp4vRoCGJym3xR7yCVPFHoCNxv4Twseo)" }', 
    '"desc": "addr(34xp4vRoCGJym3xR7yCVPFHoCNxv4Twseo)"', 
    "addr(34xp4vRoCGJym3xR7yCVPFHoCNxv4Twseo)", 
    "addr(34xp4vRoCGJym3xR7yCVPFHoCNxv4Twseo)", 
    "addr=34xp4vRoCGJym3xR7yCVPFHoCNxv4Twseo", 
    "34xp4vRoCGJym3xR7yCVPFHoCNxv4Twseo", 
    "{ addr(34xp4vRoCGJym3xR7yCVPFHoCNxv4Twseo) }", 
    "{ addr: 34xp4vRoCGJym3xR7yCVPFHoCNxv4Twseo }",
    "{\"desc\": \"addr(34xp4vRoCGJym3xR7yCVPFHoCNxv4Twseo)\"}",
    '\"{\"desc": \"addr(34xp4vRoCGJym3xR7yCVPFHoCNxv4Twseo)\"}\"',
    '"{"desc": "addr(34xp4vRoCGJym3xR7yCVPFHoCNxv4Twseo)"}"',
    '"{"desc": "addr("34xp4vRoCGJym3xR7yCVPFHoCNxv4Twseo")"}"',
    '\"{\"desc": \"addr(\"34xp4vRoCGJym3xR7yCVPFHoCNxv4Twseo\")\"}\"',
]

descriptorAttempts.forEach(attempt => {
    client.command('scantxoutset', 'start', [ attempt ])
    .then((res) => {
        console.log("Success! 🙌")
        console.log(res)
    })
    .catch((error) => {
        console.log("Failed attempt of -> " + attempt)
        // console.log(error)
    })
})

Results in RpcError: Invalid descriptor

I've looked all over the internet and can't find the proper syntax for the life of me!

Note: This is also posted on the stack exchange as well, just want to make sure I didn't discover an implementation issue.

The address is invalid. Resolved this by trying a valid address and using:

client.command('scantxoutset', 'start', ['addr(mfe87Qheq7SSveCDedyDUBEjMD9tgzRiU7)'])
