eth_newFilter

Creates a filter object, based on filter options, to notify when the state changes (logs). To check if the state has changed, call eth_getFilterChanges.

This method will use 20 Compute Units.

Reference: Here

A note on specifying topic filters: Topics are order-dependent. A transaction with a log with topics [A, B] will be matched by the following topic filters:

• [] "anything"

• [A] "A in first position (and anything after)"

• [null, B] "anything in first position AND B in second position (and anything after)"

• [A, B] "A in first position AND B in second position (and anything after)"

• [[A, B], [A, B]] "(A OR B) in first position AND (A OR B) in second position (and anything after)"

• fromBlock: QUANTITY|TAG - (optional, default: "latest") Integer block number, or "latest" for the last mined block, "safe" for the latest safe block, "finalized" for the latest finalized block, or "pending", "earliest" for not yet mined transactions.
