# eth\_getFilterLogs - Arbitrum Nova

Example code for the eth\_getFilterLogs JSON-RPC method. Complete guide on how to use eth\_getFilterLogs JSON-RPC in GetBlock Web3 documentation.

This method returns all logs matching a previously created log filter, regardless of when they were last polled. It is used to backfill the full history of a filter.

## Response Parameters

| Parameter | Type   | Description                                       |
| --------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------- |
| jsonrpc   | string | JSON-RPC protocol version ("2.0")                 |
| id        | string | Request identifier matching the request           |
| result    | array  | All logs matching the filter over its block range |

## Use Cases

* **History Backfill**: Load all matching logs for a filter's range at once
* **Re-Sync**: Rebuild an event index after a restart
* **Audit Queries**: Pull the complete event set for a contract range
* **Verification**: Cross-check incremental polling against the full log set

## Error Handling
