API to get Ethereum Smart Contract Events

As we know Ethereum blockchain only output events and transactions. Therefore, events provide very important insights into smart contract activities.

However, extracting, storing, and indexing these events can be troublesome for many developers.

Therefore, we provide Blockchain GraphQL APIs to get events data for any Ethereum smart contract.

In this article, we will see how to get smart contract events from famous Ethereum protocols using Bitquery GraphQL API.

Tether denylist and destroying funds for denylisted users

Tether (USDT) stablecoin smart contract has a mechanism to embargo addresses and destroyed funds of those addresses by simply subtracting the balance from the total supply.

Every time Tether bans a user, it will emit an “AddBlackList” event. Using the following query you can get these events.

{
    ethereum {
        smartContractEvents(options: {desc: "block.height", limit: 10},
        smartContractEvent: {is: "AddedBlackList"},
        smartContractAddress: 
        {is: "0xdac17f958d2ee523a2206206994597c13d831ec7"}) {
            block {
                height
                timestamp {
                    iso8601
                    unixtime
                }
            }
            arguments {
                value
                argument
            }
        }
    }
}

If you also want to know about the destroyed USDT funds of embargoed users. You can track the “DestroyedBlackFunds” event.

{
    ethereum {
        smartContractEvents(options: {desc: "block.height", limit: 10},
        smartContractEvent: {is: "DestroyedBlackFunds"},
        smartContractAddress: 
        {is: "0xdac17f958d2ee523a2206206994597c13d831ec7"}) {
            block {
                height
                timestamp {
                    iso8601
                    unixtime
                }
            }
            arguments {
                value
                argument
            }
        }
    }
}

Tracking ENS registrations

If you want to know the newly registered ENS domains, you can track the “NameRegistered” event of the ENS Base Registrar smart contract by using the query below.

{
    ethereum {
        smartContractEvents(options: {desc: "block.height", limit: 10},
        smartContractEvent: {is: "NameRegistered"},
        smartContractAddress: 
        {is: "0x57f1887a8bf19b14fc0df6fd9b2acc9af147ea85"}) {
            block {
                height
                timestamp {
                    iso8601
                    unixtime
                }
            }
            arguments {
                value
                argument
            }
        }
    }
}

        smartContractEvent: {is: "FlashLoan"},
        smartContractAddress: 
        {is: "0x398eC7346DcD622eDc5ae82352F02bE94C62d119"}) {
            block {
                height

                    iso8601
                    unixtime
                }
            }
            eventIndex
            arguments {
                value
                argument
            }
        }
    }
}
