The `eth` Module - Wiki OpenEthereum Documentation

The default block parameter

The following methods have an optional extra defaultBlock parameter:

• eth_estimateGas
• eth_getBalance
• eth_getCode
• eth_getTransactionCount
• eth_getStorageAt
• eth_call

When requests are made that act on the state of Ethereum, the last parameter determines the height of the block.

The following options are possible for the defaultBlock parameter:

• Quantity/Integer - an integer block number;
• String "earliest" - for the earliest/genesis block;
• String "latest" - for the latest mined block;
• String "pending" - for the pending state/transactions.

A note on specifying topic filters:

Topics are order-dependent. A transaction with a log with topics [A, B] will be matched by the following topic filters:

• [] “anything”
• [A] “A in first position (and anything after)”
• [null, B] “anything in first position AND B in second position (and anything after)”
• [A, B] “A in first position AND B in second position (and anything after)”
• [[A, B], [A, B]] “(A OR B) in first position AND (A OR B) in second position (and anything after)”

Parameters

1. Object - The filter options:
   • fromBlock: Quantity or Tag - (optional) (default: latest) Integer block number, or 'latest' for the last mined block or 'pending', 'earliest' for not yet mined transactions.
   • toBlock: Quantity or Tag - (optional) (default: latest) Integer block number, or 'latest' for the last mined block or 'pending', 'earliest' for not yet mined transactions.
   • address: Address - (optional) 20 Bytes - Contract address or a list of addresses from which logs should originate.
   • topics: Array - (optional) Array of 32 Bytes Data topics. Topics are order-dependent. It’s possible to pass in null to match any topic, or a subarray of multiple topics of which one should be matching.
