Summary

  • A record is either a transaction (txs), log (logs) or internal transactions (txsInternal) in the webhook response.

  • Records is the base for usage of Streams

  • Records are only counted towards your usage for webhooks with confirmed:true so webhooks with confirmed:false are free

  • Decoded logs are also free they do NOT count as Records.

What is the record?

A record is either a transaction (txs in response), log (logs in response) or internal transaction (txsInternal in response). The number of records in a webhook is the sum of txs + logs + txsInternal.

In the header of a webhook, you can find the total number of records in that webhook in the header x-records-charged.

In this example, the x-records-charged is 20 so the webhook contains 20 records.

headers: { 
'x-region': 'us-west-2',
'x-queue-size': '0',
'x-records-charged': ‘20’
'x-signature': '0xdf49163b5273b50a8da48e82b7254b45d81aeee9a02f1909a45d7aaea240e9c2',
}

Only confirmed blocks will be charged, unconfirmed blocks will have 'x-records-charged': ‘0’


Records Pricing

For each record you consume, your account will be charged 50 compute units. Each Moralis plan has a certain number of included compute units.

For each transaction, you will get two webhooks:

  • One once the transaction is added to a block

  • One once the transaction is confirmed

Records are only counted towards your usage for webhooks with the field confirmed:true. Webhooks set to with confirmed:false and decoded logs are both free of charge.

You can read the article Webhooks Transactions to understand more.

Check your total consumed record for a period

By using /status (see API reference) you will get a summary of totalLogsProcessed,totalTxsProcessed, and totalTxsInternalProcessed for your current billing period.

Example:

{ "totalWebhooksDelivered": 1288, "totalWebhooksFailed": 17, "totalLogsProcessed": 4257, "totalTxsProcessed": 0, "totalTxsInternalProcessed": 0 }

Where your total consumed records for the current billing period would be "totalLogsProcessed": 4257+"totalTxsProcessed": 0+"totalTxsInternalProcessed": 0. In this case total consumption is 4257.

Check the total records consumed by one stream for a period.

By using /stats/{streamId} (see API reference) you will get a summary of totalLogsProcessed,totalTxsProcessed, and totalTxsInternalProcessed for that specific stream.

Example:

{ "totalWebhooksDelivered": 0, "totalWebhooksFailed": 0, "totalLogsProcessed": 0, "totalTxsProcessed": 0, "totalTxsInternalProcessed": 0, "createdAt": "2022-10-25T08:21:00.877Z", "updatedAt": "2022-10-25T08:21:00.877Z" }

Where your total consumed records for the current billing period would betotalLogsProcessed+totalTxsProcessed+totalTxsInternalProcessed.

Records per transaction type

It depends on the selected address activity how many records will be charged

  • Contract Interactions (logs)

  • Native Transactions (txs)

  • Internal Transactions (txsInternal)

Description

Number of records*

Stream with txs, logs and a erc20 transfer event is emitted

2

Stream with txs, logs and 10 NFT Tokens (ERC721) were transferred in one transaction

11

Stream with txs, logs and 30 NFT Tokens (ERC1155 Batch) were transferred in one transaction

2

Stream with logs and a ERC721 NFT is minted with 100 Tokens

100

Stream with txs and a native transfer takes place

1

*The number of records for logs depends on the contract emitting the events, more complex contracts could emit more records

Decoded logs

Moralis will decode and enrich standardized contracts (ERC20/ERC721/ERC1155), for each log that matches one of those contracts, a decoded log will be generated, currently, the decoded logs are:

  • erc20Transfers

  • erc20Approvals

  • nftTransfers

Decoded logs are free they do NOT count as Records.
