In this section, let's build a new endpoint called /transaction/broadcast. Anytime we want to create a new transaction from now on, we're going to hit this /transaction/broadcast endpoint. This endpoint will do two things:

app.post('/transaction/broadcast', function(req, res) ) {
});
- Then, in order for the endpoint to carry out the aforementioned functionalities, add the following highlighted code to the endpoint:
app.post('/transaction/broadcast', function(req, res) ) {
const newTransaction...
