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.

NOTE: We enforce a limit of 10,000 block ranges when requesting logs and events. The 10,000 block range limit is not a limit on how far back in time you can query but rather a limit on the number of blocks you can query in a single request. To work around the limit, we recommend breaking down your queries into smaller chunks of 10,000 blocks or less.

NOTE: 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

1. 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.

Returns

QUANTITY - A filter id.

Example

NOTE: In this example we are using public Ethereum endpoint. Ideally, for your own projects, you should use your own endpoint, which you can generate for free by connecting to your wallet here.

ethers

Query

NOTE: ethers used below is a well-known web3 library, check it out here.

import { ethers } from 'ethers';

const provider =
  new ethers
    .providers
    .JsonRpcProvider("https://www.noderpc.xyz/rpc-mainnet/public")

const fetchLogs = async ()=> {
  const filter = {
    fromBlock: "0xe20360",
    toBlock: "0xe20411",
    address: "0x6B175474E89094C44Da98b954EedeAC495271d0F",
    topics: [],
  };
  const filterId = await provider.send("eth_newFilter", [filter]);
  console.log(filterId);

}
fetchLogs();

Result
