I would like to get all transactions given an address

Given a Solana wallet address I would like to verify every single transaction ever confirmed to check other information, such as the receiver (or sender) and the amount sent (or received). So, as usual, I searched for some APIs. I found the following:

  1. Solana py
  2. PySolana

After that, I went to look which methods they offer. The one that seems to be close to what I wish is solana_client.get_confirmed_signature_for_address2 (available in 1), however my results do not match what its documentation shows. Here it is:

from solana.rpc.api import Client
solana_client = Client("https://api.devnet.solana.com")

solana_client.get_signatures_for_address("2AQdpHJ2JpcEgPiATUXjQxA8QmafFegfQwSLWSprPicm", limit=1)

I get this:

{'jsonrpc': '2.0', 'result': [], 'id': 1}

However, I should get its last signature, which seems to be this:

4SNQ4h1vL9GkmSnojQsf8SZyFvQsaq62RCgops2UXFYag1Jc4MoWrjTg2ELwMqM1tQbn9qUcNc4tqX19EGHBqC5u

Anyways, we can use SolanaBeach and check. Further, if we code as the documentation explains:

from solana.rpc.api import Client
solana_client = Client("https://api.devnet.solana.com")

solana_client.get_signatures_for_address("Vote111111111111111111111111111111111111111", limit=1)

I get this:

{'jsonrpc': '2.0', 'result': [{'blockTime': 1637328065, 'confirmationStatus': 'finalized', 'err': {'InstructionError': [0, {'Custom': 0}]}, 'memo': None, 'signature': '5yaeqDRCHWCGQMqNWhq3g6zqw63MBkri9i86hjK954YFFvnG2VCQJfszXsozDVUJbePagJieAzwsSY5H7Xd1jJhC', 'slot': 95301596}], 'id': 1}

Weird thing is "Vote111...11" seems not to be an address. Nevertheless, I get expected results, that is a signature, even though such signature can't be found by Solana Explorer...

Please, tell me what to fix. I have no idea what to do. I even tried to check if all Solana Explorers have their own API, but they do not. Probably because Solana already shares it, right?

EDIT

Well, it seems I need to enter the "account address as base-58 encoded string", thus the address becomes: HLiBGYYxaQqQx8UTPHEahqcd7aZjkDgN3bihc3hYM3SDUBGU9LFrQSnx9eje.

I also did that and I get:

{'jsonrpc': '2.0', 'error': {'code': -32602, 'message': 'Invalid param: WrongSize'}, 'id': 1}
Solution

  • Problem is not module nor function but endpoint.

    In Solana Doc I found endpoint for mainnet:

    https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com

https://solana-api.projectserum.com

    and it gives all values.

    On other page you can see that

    #Devnet#

- Devnet serves as a playground for anyone who wants to take Solana for a test drive, as a user, token holder, app developer, or validator.
- Application developers should target Devnet.
- Potential validators should first target Devnet.
- Key differences between Devnet and Mainnet Beta:
    - Devnet tokens are not real
    - Devnet includes a token faucet for airdrops for application testing
    - Devnet may be subject to ledger resets
    - Devnet typically runs a newer software version than Mainnet Beta

#Testnet#

-Testnet is where we stress test recent release features on a live cluster, particularly focused on network performance, stability and validator behavior.
- Testnet tokens are not real
- Testnet may be subject to ledger resets.
- Testnet includes a token faucet for airdrops for application testing
- Testnet typically runs a newer software release than both Devnet and Mainnet Beta

    Minimal working example for tests:

    from solana.rpc.api import Client

all_addresses = [
    '2AQdpHJ2JpcEgPiATUXjQxA8QmafFegfQwSLWSprPicm',
    'Vote111111111111111111111111111111111111111',
    'fake address',
]

#endpoint = 'https://api.devnet.solana.com'    # probably for `developing`
#endpoint = 'https://api.testnet.solana.com'   # probably for `testing`
endpoint = 'https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com'
#endpoint = 'https://solana-api.projectserum.com'

solana_client = Client(endpoint)

for address in all_addresses:
    print('address:', address)
    
    #result = solana_client.get_confirmed_signature_for_address2(address, limit=1)
    result = solana_client.get_signatures_for_address(address)#, before='89Tv9s2uMGaoxB8ZF1LV9nGa72GQ9RbkeyCDvfPviWesZ6ajZBFeHsTPfgwjGEnH7mpZa7jQBXAqjAfMrPirHt2')
    
    if 'result' in result:
        print('len:', len(result['result']))

        # I use `[:5]` to display only first 5 values
        for number, item in enumerate(result['result'][:5], 1):
            print(number, 'signature:', item['signature'])

        # check if there is `4SNQ4h1vL9GkmSnojQsf8SZyFvQsaq62RCgops2UXFYag1Jc4MoWrjTg2ELwMqM1tQbn9qUcNc4tqX19EGHBqC5u`
        for number, item in enumerate(result['result'], 1):
            if item['signature'].startswith('4SN'):
                print('found at', number, '>>>', item['signature'])

    else:
        # error message 
        print(result)

    print('---')

    #solana_client.get_account_info(address)

    Result:

    BTW:

    Because it gets only 1000 values you may not see 4SNQ... which is at position ~1200 at this moment, but if you use before=

    get_signatures_for_address(address, before='89Tv9s2uMGaoxB8ZF1LV9nGa72GQ9RbkeyCDvfPviWesZ6ajZBFeHsTPfgwjGEnH7mpZa7jQBXAqjAfMrPirHt2')

    then it should be at position ~970

    BTW:

    On Solana Explorer you have big button to change Mainnet to Devnet and when you use Devnet then 2AQdpHJ2JpcEgPiATUXjQxA8QmafFegfQwSLWSprPicm also gives 0 items.

    The same on Solana Beach. There is also big button to change Mainnet to Devnet and when you use Devnet then 2AQdpHJ2JpcEgPiATUXjQxA8QmafFegfQwSLWSprPicm gives 0 items.
