# eth\_getFilterChanges

Polling method for a filter, which returns an array of logs which occurred since last poll.

Filter must be created by calling either `eth_newFilter` or `eth_newBlockFilter`.

#### EXAMPLE

```bash
## JSON-RPC over HTTPS POST
## Replace YOUR-API-KEY with an API key from your chainRPC Dashboard
## You can also replace mainnet with a different supported network
curl https://eth.chainrpc.io/v3/YOUR-API-KEY \
    -X POST \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getFilterChanges","params":["0x10ff0bfbedb01f0dbd4106d14eb719ec38b6eb5b821c"],"id":1}'

## JSON-RPC over WSS
## Replace YOUR-API-KEY with an API key from your chainRPC Dashboard
## You can also replace mainnet with a different supported network
wscat -c wss://eth.chainrpc.io/v3/YOUR-API-KEY
>{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getFilterChanges","params":["0x10ff0bfbedb01f0dbd4106d14eb719ec38b6eb5b821c"],"id":1}
```

### RESPONSE

#### RESULT FIELDS

* `LOG OBJECT ARRAY` - Array of log objects, or an empty array if nothing has changed since last poll.
  * For filters created with `eth_newBlockFilter` the return are block hashes (32 Bytes), e.g. \["0x3454645634534..."].
  * For filters created with `eth_newFilter` logs are objects with following params:
* `removed`: true when the log was removed, due to a chain reorganization. false if its a valid log.
* `logIndex`: hexadecimal of the log index position in the block. null when its pending log.
* `transactionIndex`: hexadecimal 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`: DATA - contains the non-indexed arguments of the log.
* `topics`: Array of DATA - Array of 0 to 4 32 Bytes DATA 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.)

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.chainrpc.io/chainrpc/networks/ethereum/json-rpc-methods/filter-methods/eth_getfilterchanges.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
