SubVT Validator List Server

Pub/sub WS RPC server for the validator list data. Serves the active validator list by default. Start with the --inactive flag to serve the inactive validator list.

Expects the config folder to be in the same folder as the executable. Copy the config folder from inside the subvt-config crate and edit the configuration.

Subscribe to the validator list using the subscribe_validatorList RPC method with no parameter. unsubscribe_validatorList RPC method with the subscription id as the only parameter unsubscribes the client from the update stream.

Sample subscription request:

{
    "id": 1,
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "subscribe_validatorList",
    "params": []
}

Sample subscription response with the subscription id in the result field:

{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "result": 6291495589394582,
    "id": 1
}

Stream Specification

Stream data structure contains the list of new validators, updated validators and the ids of the ones to be removed:

{
    "finalized_block_number": 10505444,
    "insert": [
        ... list of new validators ...    
    ],
    "update":[
       ... list of updated validators ...
    ],
    "remove_ids":[
       ... list of the account ids of removed validators ...
    ]
}

After the initial subscription, the server is going to publish to the client a list of all the validators, i.e. the update and remove_idsfields are going to be empty arrays in the initial response.

            "update": [],
            "remove_ids": []
        }
    }
}

After the initial data push, the client is going to receive only the changes, i.e. the new validators in the insert field, the updated ones in the update field, and the ids of the ones to be removed in the removed_ids field.
