Solana programSubscribe RPC Method

Subscribe to a program to receive notifications when the lamports or data for an account owned by the given program changes

Parameters#

stringrequired

Pubkey of the program_id, as base-58 encoded string

objectoptional

Configuration object containing the following fields:

commitmentstringoptional

The commitment describes how finalized a block is at that point in time.

filtersarrayoptional

filter results using various filter objects

The resultant account must meet ALL filter criteria to be included in the returned results

encodingstringoptional

Encoding format for Account data

Values:base58base64base64+zstdjsonParsed

base58 is slow.
jsonParsed encoding attempts to use program-specific state parsers to return more human-readable and explicit account state data.
If jsonParsed is requested but a parser cannot be found, the field falls back to base64 encoding, detectable when the data field is type string.

Result#

<integer> - Subscription id (needed to unsubscribe)
