Yellowstone gRPC

Yellowstone gRPC is the Geyser streaming interface most Solana tooling already speaks. Point an existing Yellowstone client at the endpoint and send your key as x-token.


Endpoint	`http://ams.rpc.sodae.io:10201` (plaintext HTTP/2)
TLS endpoint	`https://ams.tls.sodae.io:443`
Service	`geyser.Geyser`
Authentication	`x-token` metadata
Plans	Seat, per GB or a package; per-GB data also works on Preplay Shreds

Clients

Language	Package
Rust	`yellowstone-grpc-client` and `yellowstone-grpc-proto`
TypeScript	`@triton-one/yellowstone-grpc`
Go	Code generated from `geyser.proto` and `solana-storage.proto`

Subscribe is a bidirectional stream. Send a SubscribeRequest with one or more named filters; each update names the filters it matched in filters.

Filter	Delivers	Useful fields
`accounts`	Account writes	`account` (pubkeys), `owner` (program ids), `filters` (`memcmp`, `datasize`)
`transactions`	Transactions with status meta	`account_include`, `account_exclude`, `account_required`, `vote`, `failed`, `signature`
`transactions_status`	Transaction outcomes (slot, signature, vote flag, index, error) without the transaction body	same as `transactions`
`slots`	Slot status changes	`filter_by_commitment`
`blocks_meta`	Block metadata (blockhash, height, time, counts)
`blocks`	Whole blocks: the metadata plus the block’s transactions, account writes and entries	`account_include`, `include_transactions`, `include_accounts`, `include_entries`
`entry`	Ledger entries

Blocks

A blocks filter delivers one SubscribeUpdateBlock per slot at the commitment you asked for. include_transactions defaults to true; include_accounts and include_entries default to false. account_include keeps only the transactions and account writes that touch the listed addresses, while executed_transaction_count and entries_count always describe the whole block. Without include_accounts the block arrives the moment its transactions and entries are complete, and updated_account_count is 0. With include_accounts it arrives once the block’s account writes are complete as well, which is usually tens of milliseconds later.

{
  "blocks": {
    "full": {
      "account_include": [],
      "include_transactions": true,
      "include_accounts": false,
      "include_entries": false
    }
  },
  "commitment": "CONFIRMED"
}

Commitment

Set commitment to PROCESSED, CONFIRMED or FINALIZED. PROCESSED gives the earliest updates; a processed update can still belong to a slot that is later skipped.

Example request

{
  "transactions": {
    "pump": {
      "vote": false,
      "failed": false,
      "account_include": ["pAMMBay6oceH9fJKBRHGP5D4bD4sWpmSwMn52FMfXEA"]
    }
  },
  "commitment": "PROCESSED"
}

Keepalive

The server sends a ping update about every 15 seconds. Reply on the same stream with a request that carries only ping:

{ "ping": { "id": 1 } }

The server answers with a pong update. A ping-only request leaves your filters unchanged.

Unary calls

The same service answers GetSlot, GetBlockHeight, GetLatestBlockhash and Ping, each with an optional commitment.

Staying connected

Set the client’s maximum decoded message size to at least 64 MB. Large account and transaction updates exceed default limits.
For blocks, raise the client’s HTTP/2 stream and connection windows to at least 16 MB (initial_stream_window_size and initial_connection_window_size in yellowstone-grpc-client and tonic). With the default 64 KB window a 3 MB block takes several milliseconds longer to arrive.
Streams can end during maintenance. Reconnect with exponential backoff and resubscribe; the examples do this.
Do not retry on UNAUTHENTICATED, NOT_ENTITLED, IP_NOT_ALLOWED or QUOTA_EXCEEDED. These need a change on your side. See Errors.

Metering

Per-GB plans and trials count the bytes streamed to you. Narrow filters use less data: prefer account_include or owner over broad subscriptions, and skip vote transactions unless you need them. A blocks filter with include_transactions carries every transaction of every block, about as much data as an unfiltered transactions stream.
