eth_newFilter-polygon

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.

🚧

Filters expire after 5 minutes of inactivity (no queries).

Parameters

  • Object - The filter options:
    • fromBlock: QUANTITY|TAG - (optional, default: "latest") Integer block number, or "latest" for the last mined block or "pending", "earliest" for not yet mined transactions.
    • toBlock: QUANTITY|TAG - (optional, default: "latest") Integer block number, or "latest" for the last mined block or "pending", "earliest" for not yet mined transactions.
    • address: DATA|Array, 20 Bytes - (optional) Contract address or a list of addresses from which logs should originate.
    • topics: Array of DATA, - (optional) Array of 32 Bytes DATA topics. Topics are order-dependent. Each topic can also be an array of DATA with "or" options.

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)"
