Subscribe address

POST

wss://btcbook.nownodes.io/wss/{api_key}

Calls the subscribeAddresses method over a WebSocket connection.

Connection URL:

Copied!

wss://btcbook.nownodes.io/wss/{{api_key}}

Open the connection, then send the message below as a text frame.

Example:

Copied!

wscat -c 'wss://btcbook.nownodes.io/wss/YOUR_API_KEY'
> {"id":"19","method":"subscribeAddresses","params":{"addresses":["bc1qwzrryqr3ja8w7hnja2spmkgfdcgvqwp5swz4af4ngsjecfz0w0pqud7k38"]}}

Optional parameter newBlockTxs (boolean, default false): when true, the subscription also publishes confirmed transactions for the subscribed addresses as new blocks are connected. Without it only mempool transactions are delivered, so transactions that land straight in a block are never announced.

Body
