# Submit batch transactions

`POST /transactions/batch`

This allows you to submit multiple transactions.  The response has three outcomes:

1. All transactions succeed, and it will return a 202
2. Some transactions succeed, and it will return the failed transactions and a 206
3. No transactions succeed, and it will also return the failed transactions and a 206

To submit a transaction as JSON, you must submit a SubmitTransactionRequest.
To build this request, do the following:

1. Encode the transaction as BCS. If you are using a language that has
native BCS support, make sure to use that library. If not, you may take
advantage of /transactions/encode_submission. When using this
endpoint, make sure you trust the node you're talking to, as it is
possible they could manipulate your request.
2. Sign the encoded transaction and use it to create a TransactionSignature.
3. Submit the request. Make sure to use the "application/json" Content-Type.

To submit a transaction as BCS, you must submit a SignedTransaction
encoded as BCS. See SignedTransaction in types/src/transaction/mod.rs.
Make sure to use the `application/x.aptos.signed_transaction+bcs` Content-Type.

## Request body

- SubmitTransactionRequest[]
  - `sender` string, hex, required — A hex encoded 32 byte Aptos account address. This is represented in a string as a 64 character hex string, sometimes shortened by stripping leading 0s, and adding a 0x. For example, address 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 is represented as 0x1.
  - `sequence_number` string, uint64, required — A string containing a 64-bit unsigned integer. We represent u64 values as a string to ensure compatibility with languages such as JavaScript that do not parse u64s in JSON natively.
  - `max_gas_amount` string, uint64, required — A string containing a 64-bit unsigned integer. We represent u64 values as a string to ensure compatibility with languages such as JavaScript that do not parse u64s in JSON natively.
