Transaction Subscribe

The transactionSubscribe websocket method enables real-time transaction events. To use it, provide a TransactionSubscribeFilter and optionally include TransactionSubscribeOptions for further customization.

​
TransactionSubscribeFilter

vote: A boolean flag to include/exclude vote-related transactions. failed: A boolean flag to include/exclude transactions that failed. signature: Filters updates to a specific transaction based on its signature. accountInclude: A list of accounts for which you want to receive transaction updates. This means that only one of the accounts must be included in the transaction updates (e.g., Account 1 OR Account 2). accountExclude: A list of accounts you want to exclude from transaction updates. accountRequired: Transactions must involve these specified accounts to be included in updates. This means that all of the accounts must be included in the transaction update (e.g., Account 1 AND Account 2).
You can include up to 50,000 addresses in the accountsInclude, accountExclude and accountRequired arrays.

​
TransactionSubscribeOptions (Optional)

commitment: Specifies the commitment level for fetching data, dictating at what stage of the transaction lifecycle updates are sent. The possible values are processed, confirmed and finalized encoding: Sets the encoding format of the returned transaction data. The possible values are base58, base64 and jsonParsed transactionDetails : Determines the level of detail for the returned transaction data. The possible values are full, signatures, accounts and none showRewards: A boolean flag indicating if reward data should be included in the transaction updates. maxSupportedTransactionVersion: Specifies the highest version of transactions you want to receive updates. To get Versioned Transactions, set the value to 1.
maxSupportedTransactionVersion is required to return the accounts and full-level details of a given transaction (i.e., transactionDetails: "accounts" | "full").

Examples

Basic Transaction Subscribe Example

In this example, we are subscribing to transactions that contain the Raydium account 675kPX9MHTjS2zt1qfr1NYHuzeLXfQM9H24wFSUt1Mp8. Whenever a transaction occurs that contains 675kPX9MHTjS2zt1qfr1NYHuzeLXfQM9H24wFSUt1Mp8in the accountKeys of the transaction, we will receive a websocket notification.Based on the subscription options, the transaction notification will be sent at the processed commitment level,jsonParsedencoding, full transaction details, and will show rewards.
const WebSocket = require('ws');

// Create a WebSocket connection
const ws = new WebSocket('wss://atlas-mainnet.helius-rpc.com/?api-key=<API_KEY>');

// Function to send a request to the WebSocket server
function sendRequest(ws) {
    const request = {
        jsonrpc: "2.0",
        id: 420,
        method: "transactionSubscribe",
        params: [
            {

            },
            {
                commitment: "processed",
                encoding: "jsonParsed",
                transactionDetails: "full",
                showRewards: true,
                maxSupportedTransactionVersion: 0
            }
        ]
    };
    ws.send(JSON.stringify(request));
}

// Function to send a ping to the WebSocket server
function startPing(ws) {
    setInterval(() => {
        if (ws.readyState === WebSocket.OPEN) {
            ws.ping();
            console.log('Ping sent');
        }
    }, 30000); // Ping every 30 seconds

// Define WebSocket event handlers

ws.on('open', function open() {
