Bitcoin Core `getaddressesbyaccount` method not found (-32601)

0

On macOS Mojave I have a full bitcoin node synced using bitcoind.

I want to get the public address of the default account (i.e. the empty string "").

So I run bitcoin-cli getaddressesbyaccount "" but I get:

error code: -32601
error message:
Method not found

Version of bitcoind is: Bitcoin Core Daemon version v0.18.0.0-g2472733a24a9364e4c6233ccd04166a26a68cc65 Copyright (C) 2009-2019 The Bitcoin Core developers

And of bitcoin-cli is: Bitcoin Core RPC client version v0.18.0.0-g2472733a24a9364e4c6233ccd04166a26a68cc65

What's wrong?

The account API has been deprecated for a while, and was completely removed in Bitcoin Core 0.18.0.

You should be using the new mutliwallet API, or handling account based labelling externally.
