sgcWebSockets API Blockchain components

From sgcWebSockets 4.1.5 BlockChain WebSocket API is supported. Blockchain WebSocket API allows developers to receive Real-Time notifications about new transactions and blocks.

Once WebSocket is open you can subscribe to a channel:

 

  • SubscribeTransactions: Subscribe to notifications for all new bitcoin transactions.

  • UnsubscribeTransactions: UnSubscribe to notifications for all new bitcoin transactions.

 

  • SubscribeAddress: Receive new transactions for a specific bitcoin address.

  • UnSubscribeAddress: Stop receiving new transactions for a specific bitcoin address.

 

Transactions are received OnNewTransaction Event:
