JSON-RPC Specification

Pegasus Testnet and Phoenix Mainnet are currently running on the following endpoints.

LightLink utilizes the convenient Geth (go-ethereum) RPC and most of its API methods without any changes.

For example, using the JSON RPC API, developers can download a block by its hash by calling the getBlockByHash method, or invoke a smart contract using the call method with JSON or cURL.

See the complete JSON specification for more details.

Subscriptions

LightLink supports real-time event notifications via a subscription mechanism in Geth v1.4. Subscriptions are part of the LightLink JSON-RPC API and are a type of Pub/Sub (Publish/Subscribe) system. With subscriptions enabled, the app receives notifications about selected events, such as new block headers, new transactions, new contract calls, etc. Please refer to the subscription documentation for more details.

getLogs

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

Parameters

  • Object - The filter options:

    • fromBlock: QUANTITY|TAG - (optional, default: "latest") Integer block number, or "earliest" or "latest".

    • toBlock: QUANTITY|TAG - (optional, default: "latest") Integer block number, or "earliest" or "latest".

    • 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.

    • blockhash: DATA, 32 Bytes - (optional) With the addition of EIP-234, blockHash is a new filter option which 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.

Returns

Array - Array of log objects, or an empty array if no logs were found.
