          You can use Bitcoin Core's testmempoolaccept RPC. It will tell you whether the transaction you give it would be accepted into your node's mempool at that time but won't actually add it to the mempool or broadcast it.

          • @user2284570 In what format do you have the transaction, if not raw hex?

          • @PieterWuille I have it in partial hex. I mean I have only the output in hex which means I would have expected something which would take the TxOut hex and the private key for automatically selecting utxo and perform signing.

          • You can create a transaction with no inputs using createrawtransaction, add inputs to it using fundrawtransaction, and then sign it with signrawtransactionwithwallet or signrawtransactionwithkey.
