***

## **Parameters**

* `owner_address` - String - the transfer address, converted to a hex string
* `to_address` - String - To\_address is the transfer address, converted to a hex string
* `amount` - int64 - Amount is the transfer amount, the unit is sun
* `Permission_id` - int32 - Optional, for multi-signature use
* `visible` - Boolean - Optional. Specifies whether the address is in Base58 format (default: false)
* `extra_data` - String - Optional, any extra data to be included in the transaction, HEX format

## **Returns**

Transaction - JSON object: Unsigned transaction, please refer to the [Transaction](https://developers.tron.network/docs/tron-protocol-transaction) in the Tron documentation for the fields contained in it.

| Field          | Type   | Description                   |
| -------------- | ------ | ----------------------------- |
| owner\_address | string | Transaction initiator address |
