Save data on the blockchain with a DotWallet hosted account

This API lets developers store data on the blockchain using a hosted(custodial) wallet account provided by DotWallet. If the developer does not already have a DotWallet hosted wallet, one will be created in step one.

This feature is only supported on BSV.
Data will be saved in the OP_RETURN field of the bitcoin transaction.

Step 1:Query or create account address

If you don't already have a hosted account, this will create one for you and return the address. If you already have an account it will return the address.
