I have an Infura account and I have the following code:
... web3 = Web3(HTTPProvider("https://ropsten.infura.io/mytoken") ) web3_pending_filter = web3.eth.filter('pending') ... when line web3_pending_filter = web3.eth.filter('pending') executes, I get error:
requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 405 Client Error: Method Not Allowed for url: https://ropsten.infura.io/mytoken
How can I fix this issue?
Infura doesn't support filters.
Per https://api.infura.io/v1/jsonrpc/ropsten/methods (from the documentation, these are the supported methods:
{ "get": [ "web3_clientVersion", "net_version", "net_listening", "net_peerCount", "eth_protocolVersion", "eth_syncing", "eth_mining", "eth_hashrate", "eth_gasPrice", "eth_accounts", "eth_blockNumber", "eth_getBalance", "eth_getStorageAt", "eth_getTransactionCount", "eth_getBlockTransactionCountByHash", "eth_getBlockTransactionCountByNumber", "eth_getUncleCountByBlockHash", "eth_getUncleCountByBlockNumber", "eth_getCode", "eth_call", "eth_estimateGas", "eth_getBlockByHash", "eth_getBlockByNumber", "eth_getTransactionByHash", "eth_getTransactionByBlockHashAndIndex", "eth_getTransactionByBlockNumberAndIndex", "eth_getTransactionReceipt", "eth_getUncleByBlockHashAndIndex", "eth_getUncleByBlockNumberAndIndex", "eth_getCompilers", "eth_getLogs", "eth_getWork" ], "post": [ "eth_sendRawTransaction", "eth_call", "eth_estimateGas", "eth_submitWork", "eth_submitHashrate" ] }
