Block

(Websocket) Blocks

get

Establish a websocket connection to the node to receive real-time updates on new blocks.

This endpoint can also be used to resume a subscription from a specific point in time.

Example:

const ws = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:8669/subscriptions/block')

ws.onmessage = (event) => {
  console.log(event.data)
}
Query parameters
posstringOptional

A saved block ID for resuming the subscription. If omitted, the best block ID is assumed.

Note: If the provided position is too far behind the best block, a 403 error will be thrown. The allowable difference depends on the configuration of each node.

See the argument api-backtrace-limit when starting a node.
