Web3 Integration

Ethers.js

import { ethers } from 'ethers';

const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider('https://shared.eu-central-1.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/');

// Using ethers provider methods
const result = await provider.send('sei_getLogs', [{"fromBlock": "0x4B8F000", "toBlock": "latest", "address": "0x1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef12345678"}]);
console.log(result);

Viem

import { createPublicClient, http } from 'viem';
import { sei } from 'viem/chains';

const client = createPublicClient({
    chain: sei,
    transport: http('https://shared.eu-central-1.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/')
});

// Using viem's request method
const result = await client.request({
    method: 'sei_getLogs',
