# getLogs

### REQUEST

```
POST https://mainnet-slice-rpc.com
```

#### HEADERS

```
Content-Type: application/json
```

#### REQUEST PARAMS

* `FILTER OBJECT`
  * `address` *\[optional]* - a string representing the address (20 bytes) to check for balance
  * `fromBlock` *\[optional, default is "latest"]* - an integer block number, or the string "latest", "earliest" or "pending"
  * `toBlock` *\[optional, default is "latest"]* - an integer block number, or the string "latest", "earliest" or "pending"
  * `topics`*\[optional]* - Array of 32 Bytes DATA topics. Topics are order-dependent.
  * `blockhash`:*\[optional]* With the addition of EIP-234, `blockHash` 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.<br>

### RESPONSE

#### RESULT FIELDS

* `LOG OBJECTS` - An array of log objects, or an empty array if nothing has changed since last poll.
  * logs are objects with following params:
    * `removed`: true when the log was removed, due to a chain reorganization. false if it's a valid log.
    * `logIndex`: integer of the log index position in the block. null when its pending log.
    * `transactionIndex`: integer of the transactions index position log was created from. null when its pending log.
    * `transactionHash`: 32 Bytes - hash of the transactions this log was created from. null when its pending log.
    * `blockHash`: 32 Bytes - hash of the block where this log was in. null when its pending. null when its pending log.
    * `blockNumber`: the block number where this log was in. null when its pending. null when its pending log.
    * `address`: 20 Bytes - address from which this log originated.
    * `data`: contains one or more 32 Bytes non-indexed arguments of the log.
    * `topics`: Array of 0 to 4 32 Bytes of indexed log arguments. (In solidity: The first topic is the hash of the signature of the event (e.g. Deposit(address,bytes32,uint256)), except you declared the event with the anonymous specifier.)

#### LIMITATIONS

To prevent queries from consuming too many resources, `eth_getLogs` requests are currently limited by two constraints:

* A max of 10,000 results can be returned by a single query
* Query duration must not exceed 10 seconds

If a query returns too many results or exceeds the max query duration, one of the following errors is returned:

```
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "error": {
    "code": -32005,
    "message": "query returned more than 10000 results"
  }
}
```

```
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "error": {
    "code": -32005,
    "message": "query timeout exceeded"
  }
}
```

If this happens:

* Limit your query to a smaller number of blocks using `fromBlock` and `toBlock`.
* If querying for commonly used `topics`, consider limiting to a single Smart Contract `address` as well.
