QuickNode Webhooks Events

Overview

Set up QuickNode Streams for real-time on-chain event processing with custom filters and webhook delivery.

Prerequisites

• QuickNode account with Streams access
• HTTPS webhook endpoint

Instructions

Step 1: Create a Stream via Dashboard

1. Dashboard > Streams > Create Stream
2. Select chain: Ethereum Mainnet
3. Filter: Contract events for specific address
4. Destination: Webhook URL
5. Set payload format: JSON

Step 2: Handle Stream Events

import express from 'express';

const app = express();
app.post('/webhooks/quicknode', express.json(), async (req, res) => {
  const events = req.body;
  for (const event of events) {
    console.log(`Block: ${event.blockNumber}`);
    console.log(`TX: ${event.transactionHash}`);
    console.log(`Topics: ${event.topics}`);
    // Process on-chain event
    await processBlockchainEvent(event);
  }
  res.status(200).json({ received: true });
});

Step 3: Filter by Contract Events

// Stream filter function (runs on QuickNode infrastructure)
function main(data) {
  const targetContract = '0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48'; // USDC
  const transferTopic = '0xddf252ad1be2c89b69c2b068fc378daa952ba7f163c4a11628f55a4df523b3ef';
  
  return data.streamData.filter(tx => {
    return tx.logs?.some(log =>
      log.address.toLowerCase() === targetContract.toLowerCase() &&
      log.topics[0] === transferTopic
    );
  });
}

Output

• Real-time blockchain event streaming
• Custom filter functions for specific contracts/events
• Webhook delivery for processed events

Error Handling

Issue	Cause	Solution
No events received	Filter too restrictive	Test with broader filter first
Duplicate events	Block reorganization	Implement idempotency by tx hash
Webhook timeout	Slow processing	Return 200 immediately, process async
