Subscribe to Events

Event Subscription is used to subscribe to specific events or transactions occurring within a blockchain network. It enables participants to get updates or notifications in real time whenever a specific event happens.

Following are the event subscriptions that a user can subscribe to-

1. WETH

2. ERC-20

3. ERC-721

4. ERC-1155

Streaming Events:

Users can stream events in two ways:

Example 1: via wscat script (For Linux based distro)

First, the user needs to run the following command in their terminal to install wscat in their system:

npm install -g wscat 

After installing wscat, the user needs to create a shell script and paste the following sample code:

Client Side Sample Socket Code :

#!/bin/bash

echo "Price Discovery\n"
read -p "x-api-key: " YOUR_API_KEY
wscat -c wss://pricediscovery.expand.network -H authorization:secret-token -H x-api-key:$YOUR_API_KEY

Once the file has been saved, the user will need to grant permission for it to be executed. This can be accomplished by executing the following command:

chmod +x YOUR_FILE_NAME.sh

After following the above steps, the user needs to run the file. This can be done by entering the filename in the console.

Executing a query:

After executing the aforementioned file(shell script), the user will be prompted to input the appropriate API key.

After entering the API key, the user can subscribe to the following actions:

{"action": "events"}

Make sure you are connected to the WebSocket before you perform the following queries.

Applying a filter in the query:

Users can apply the following filters in their query:-

WETH

The above filters can be applied in any combination, using the following syntax:

{"action": "events", "event":"WETH"}

Sample Query:

{"action": "events", "event":"WETH"}

Example 2. via javascript code

First, the user needs to run the following command in their terminal to install wscat in their system:

npm i ws

After installing ws, the user needs to run the following sample code on their device to start streaming:

Client Side Sample Socket Code :

const WebSocket = require('ws');
const url = 'wss://pricediscovery.expand.network';
const options = {
  headers: {
    Authorization: 'secret-token',
    'x-api-key': 'YOUR_API_KEY', // Replace this with your API Key
  }
};

const ws = new WebSocket(url, options);

ws.on('open', () => {
  console.log('WebSocket connection established.');
  const payload = {
    action: "events",
    event: "WETH"
  };
  ws.send(JSON.stringify(payload));
});


ws.on('message', (data) => {
  console.log(`Received data: ${data}`);
});

ws.on('close', () => {
  console.log('WebSocket connection closed.');
});

The payload can be modified, depending on the action.

Expected Output:

ERC-20

The above filters can be applied in any combination, using the following syntax:

{"action": "events", "event":"ERC20", "contract":[{"id":"contractId","eventType":["Transfer","Approval"]}]}

Sample Query:

{"action":"events", "event":"ERC20", "contract":[{"id":"0x6b175474e89094c44da98b954eedeac495271d0f","eventType":["Transfer","Approval"]}]}
