Note on Filters

1. Filters expire after 5 minutes of inactivity (no queries).
2. This method only works for filters created with eth_newFilter not for filters created using eth_newBlockFilter or eth_newPendingTransactionFilter, which will return "filter not found".
3. eth_getLogs vs. eth_getFilterLogs
   These two computations will return the same results:
   1. Calling eth_getLogs with params []
   2. Calling eth_newFilter with params [], getting a filter id back, then calling eth_getFilterLogs with params []

Parameters

• QUANTITY - The filter id.

Returns

• 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 (DATA, 32 Bytes), e.g. ["0x3454645634534..."].
  • For filters created with eth_newPendingTransactionFilter the return are transaction hashes (DATA, 32 Bytes), e.g. ["0x6345343454645..."].
  • For filters created with eth_newFilter logs are objects with following params:
    • removed: TAG - true when the log was removed, due to a chain reorganization. false if its a valid log.
    • logIndex: QUANTITY - integer of the log index position in the block. null when its pending log.
    • transactionIndex: QUANTITY - integer of the transactions index position log was created from. null when its pending log.
    • transactionHash: DATA, 32 Bytes - hash of the transactions this log was created from. null when its pending log.
    • blockHash: DATA, 32 Bytes - hash of the block where this log was in. null when its pending. null when its pending log.
    • blockNumber: QUANTITY - the block number where this log was in. null when its pending. null when its pending log.
    • address: DATA, 20 Bytes - address from which this log originated.
    • data: DATA - contains one or more 32 Bytes non-indexed arguments of the log.
    • topics: Array of DATA - Array of 0 to 4 32 Bytes 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.)
