Filter

eth_getFilterChanges

Polling method for a filter, which returns an array of logs which occurred since last poll.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
id	QUANTITY	The filter id (e.g., "0x16" // 22).

Return Value

Array - Array of log objects, or an empty array if nothing has changed since last poll.

• For filters created with eth_newBlockFilter, the return are block hashes (32-byte DATA), e.g., ["0x3454645634534..."].

• For filters created with eth_newPendingTransactionFilter, the return are transaction hashes (32-byte DATA), e.g., ["0x6345343454645..."].

• For filters created with eth_newFilter, logs are objects with following parameters:

Name	Type	Description
removed	TAG	true when the log was removed, due to a chain reorganization. false if it is a valid log.
logIndex	QUANTITY	Integer of the log index position in the block. null when it is a pending log.
transactionIndex	QUANTITY	Integer of the transactions index position log was created from. null when pending.
transactionHash	32-byte DATA	Hash of the transactions this log was created from. null when pending.
blockHash	32-byte DATA	Hash of the block where this log was in. null when pending.
blockNumber	QUANTITY	The block number where this log was in. null when pending.
address	20-byte DATA	Address from which this log originated.
data	DATA	Contains the non-indexed arguments of the log.
topics	Array of DATA	Array of 0 to 4 32-byte DATA of indexed log arguments. (In Solidity: The first topic is the hash of the signature of the event (e.g., Deposit(address,bytes32,uint256)), except you declared the event with the anonymous specifier.).

eth_getFilterLogs

Returns an array of all logs matching filter with given id, which has been obtained using eth_newFilter. Note that filter ids returned by other filter creation functions, such as eth_newBlockFilter or eth_newPendingTransactionFilter, cannot be used with this function.

The execution of this API can be limited by two node configurations to manage resources of Klaytn node safely.

• The number of maximum returned results in a single query (Default: 10,000).

• The execution duration limit of a single query (Default: 10 seconds).

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
id	QUANTITY	The filter id

Return Value

eth_getLogs

Returns an array of all logs matching a given filter object.

The execution of this API can be limited by two node configurations to manage resources of Klaytn node safely.

• The number of maximum returned results in a single query (Default: 10,000).

• The execution duration limit of a single query (Default: 10 seconds).

Parameters

Object - The filter options:

Name	Type	Description
fromBlock	QUANTITY | TAG	(optional, default: "latest") Integer or hexadecimal block number, or the string "earliest", "latest" or "pending" as in the default block parameter.
toBlock	QUANTITY | TAG	(optional, default: "latest") Integer or hexadecimal block number, or the string "earliest", "latest" or "pending" as in the default block parameter.
address	20-byte DATA | Array	(optional) Contract address or a list of addresses from which logs should originate.
topics	Array of DATA	(optional) Array of 32-byte DATA topics. Topics are order-dependent. Each topic can also be an array of DATA with “or” options.
blockHash	32-byte DATA	(optional) A filter option that restricts the logs returned to the single block with the 32-byte hash blockHash. Using blockHash is equivalent to fromBlock = toBlock = the block number with hash blockHash. If blockHash is present in in the filter criteria, then neither fromBlock nor toBlock are allowed.

Return Value

See eth_getFilterChanges

eth_newBlockFilter

Creates a filter in the node, to notify when a new block arrives. To check if the state has changed, call eth_getFilterChanges.

Parameters

None

Return Value

Type	Description
QUANTITY	A filter id.

Example

// Request
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_newBlockFilter","params":[],"id":73}' http://localhost:8551

// Result
{
  "jsonrpc":"2.0",
  "id":73,
  "result":"0xc2f2e8168a7e38b5d979d0f7084130ee"
}

eth_newFilter

Creates a filter object, based on filter options, to notify when the state changes (logs).

• To check if the state has changed, call eth_getFilterChanges.

• To obtain all logs matching the filter created by eth_newFilter, call eth_getFilterLogs.

A note on specifying topic filters: Topics are order-dependent. A transaction with a log with topics [A, B] will be matched by the following topic filters:

• [] "anything"

• [A] "A in first position (and anything after)"

• [null, B] "anything in first position AND B in second position (and anything after)"

• [A, B] "A in first position AND B in second position (and anything after)"

• [[A, B], [A, B]] "(A OR B) in first position AND (A OR B) in second position (and anything after)"

Parameters

Object - The filter options:

Name	Type	Description
fromBlock	QUANTITY | TAG	(optional, default: "latest") Integer or hexadecimal block number, or the string "earliest", "latest" or "pending" as in the default block parameter.
toBlock	QUANTITY | TAG	(optional, default: "latest") Integer or hexadecimal block number, or the string "earliest", "latest" or "pending" as in the default block parameter.
address	20-byte DATA | Array	(optional) Contract address or a list of addresses from which logs should originate.
topics	Array of DATA	(optional) Array of 32-byte DATA topics. Topics are order-dependent. Each topic can also be an array of DATA with "or" options.

NOTE: In versions earlier than Klaytn v1.7.0, only integer block number, the string "earliest" and "latest" are available.

Return Value

Type	Description
QUANTITY	A filter id

Example

// Request
$ curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_newFilter","params":[{"fromBlock":"earliest","toBlock":"latest","address":"0x87ac99835e67168d4f9a40580f8f5c33550ba88b","topics":["0xd596fdad182d29130ce218f4c1590c4b5ede105bee36690727baa6592bd2bfc8"]}],"id":1}' http://localhost:8551

// Result
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":"0xd32fd16b6906e67f6e2b65dcf48fc272"}

eth_newPendingTransactionFilter

Creates a filter in the node, to notify when new pending transactions arrive. To check if the state has changed, call eth_getFilterChanges.

Parameters

None

Return Value

Type	Description
QUANTITY	A filter id.

Example

// Request
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_newPendingTransactionFilter","params":[],"id":73}' http://localhost:8551

// Result
{
  "jsonrpc":"2.0",
  "id":73,
  "result":"0x90cec22a723fcc725fb2462733c2880f"
}

eth_subscribe

Creates a new subscription to specific events by using either RPC Pub/Sub over WebSockets or filters over HTTP. It allows clients to wait for events instead of polling for them.

The node will return a subscription id for each subscription created. For each event that matches the subscription, a notification with relevant data is sent together with the subscription id. If a connection is closed, all subscriptions created over the connection are removed.

Parameters

Object - A notification type: "newHeads" or "logs".

"newHeads" notifies you of each block added to the blockchain. "logs" notifies you of logs included in new blocks. This type requires a second parameter that specifies filter options. For more details, go to eth_newFilter > parameters.

Return Value

Type	Description
QUANTITY	A subscription id when a subscription is created. For each event that matches the subscription, a notification with relevant data will be delivered as well.

Example

This API is appropriate for use with a WebSocket tool, wscat.
