blockSubscribe RPC Method

Subscribe to receive notification anytime a new block is confirmed or finalized.

Unstable Method

This subscription is considered unstable and is only available if the validator was started with the --rpc-pubsub-enable-block-subscription flag. The format of this subscription may change in the future.

Parameters​

filter string | object required filter criteria for the logs to receive results by account type; currently supported:

  • string all - include all transactions in block
  • object A JSON object with the following field:
    • mentionsAccountOrProgram: <string> - return only transactions that mention the provided public key (as base-58 encoded string). If no mentions in a given block, then no notification will be sent. object optional

Configuration object containing the following fields:

  • commitment string optional Default: finalized

    • processed is not supported.

  • encoding string optional Default: json encoding format for each returned Transaction Values: json jsonParsed base58 base64

    • jsonParsed attempts to use program-specific instruction parsers to return more human-readable and explicit data in the transaction.message.instructions list.
    • If jsonParsed is requested but a parser cannot be found, the instruction falls back to regular JSON encoding (accounts, data, and programIdIndex fields).

  • transactionDetails string optional Default: full level of transaction detail to return Values: full accounts signatures none

    • If accounts are requested, transaction details only include signatures and an annotated list of accounts in each transaction.
    • Transaction metadata is limited to only: fee, err, pre_balances, post_balances, pre_token_balances, and post_token_balances.

  • maxSupportedTransactionVersion number optional the max transaction version to return in responses.

    • If the requested block contains a transaction with a higher version, an error will be returned.
    • If this parameter is omitted, only legacy transactions will be returned, and a block containing any versioned transaction will prompt the error.

  • showRewards bool optional whether to populate the rewards array. If parameter not provided, the default includes rewards.

Result​

integer - subscription id (needed to unsubscribe)
