Get transactions for an address

Question

Is there a js api that can retrieve recent transactions of a Wallet? Couldn't find such thing on web3.js.

Would be cool if someone could share a workaround!

Answer 1

You can use connection.getSignatureForAddresses to get confirmed signatures for transactions involving an address.

Then use the connection.getTransactions to get the transactions for the given signatures.

const address = new PublicKey("...");
const connection = new Connection("...");

async function getTransactionsForAddress(address) {
  const signatures = await connection.getSignaturesForAddress(address);
  const transactions = awiat connection.getTransactions(signatures);

  console.log({transactions});
  return transactions;
};

getTransactionsForAddress(address);

Answer 2

thanks to C.OG:

export const getTransactionsForAddress = async(address: string)=> {
    let connection = await getConnection();
    const signatures = await connection.getSignaturesForAddress(new solana.PublicKey(address));
    let temp: any[] = []; // just a temp array to get the signatures
    signatures.map((x) => temp.push(x.signature));

    const transactions = await connection.getTransactions(temp);
    return transactions;
}

can def be improved, but gets the job done
