# eth\_newPendingTransactionFilter - Arbitrum Nova

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

This method creates a filter that reports the hashes of new pending transactions entering the mempool, and returns a filter ID.

## Parameters

{% hint style="info" %}
This method does not require any parameters. Send the request with an empty `params` array.

## Response

```json
{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": "getblock.io",
    "result": "0x4d1b6f9a2c7e3805b1d4a6f8e0c2b3a5"
}
```

## Response Parameters

| Parameter | Type   | Description                             |
| --------- | ------ | --------------------------------------- |
| jsonrpc   | string | JSON-RPC protocol version ("2.0")       |
| id        | string | Request identifier matching the request |
| result    | string | Hex-encoded filter ID                   |

## Use Cases

* **Mempool Watching**: Observe incoming pending transactions
* **Nonce Tracking**: Detect a pending transaction from a watched address
* **Latency Analysis**: Measure time from mempool entry to inclusion
* **Polling Pipelines**: Create a filter, then poll for new pending hashes

## Error Handling

| Error Code | Message          | Description                                    |
| ---------- | ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| -32603     | Internal error   | The node failed to register the pending filter |
| -32601     | Method not found | Filters are disabled on the client build       |
