This Recipe shows you how to efficiently send multiple requests to an Ethereum node instead of using a for
loop by fetching an account balance for the past 500 blocks.
Overview
Promise.all
method in JavaScript to efficiently fetch the account balance of an address for 500 blocks.This method is more efficient compared to running a for
loop.Environment setup
npm install web3
Get your Chainstack endpoint
The code
getBalanceAtBlock(blockNum)
: This asynchronous function is designed to get the balance of the specified Ethereum address at a specific block number. It uses the web3.eth.getBalance
method to fetch the balance in Wei and then converts it into Ether using web3.utils.fromWei
. The resulting balance is logged to the console.Run the code
The example here only shows a few responses.
Understanding the response
Promise.all
with an array of promises, the promises are all started at approximately the same time, and they will resolve (or reject) as soon as they are done, without any regard for the order in which they were started.
