transactions/confirmed embedded option does not seem to do anything

[Jaguar0625]

consider this query, which returns some aggregate transactions:

http://ngl-dual-001.symbolblockchain.io:3000/transactions/confirmed?address=NBHPVUIRDVMANSA2WQHTGAXEK6VJ73LOGTMQHLQ&order=asc&embedded=true

http://ngl-dual-001.symbolblockchain.io:3000/transactions/confirmed?address=NBHPVUIRDVMANSA2WQHTGAXEK6VJ73LOGTMQHLQ&order=asc&embedded=false

there is no difference what is returned when the embedded flag is true or false

Hi @Jaguar0625, I am checking the address and it seems it doesn't have any aggregate.

Reference script:

import { toArray } from 'rxjs/operators';
import { RepositoryFactoryHttp, TransactionGroup } from '../../src/infrastructure';
import { Address } from '../../src/model/account';
import { TransactionType } from '../../src/model/transaction';

describe('Script Test', () => {
    const repositoryFactory = new RepositoryFactoryHttp('http://ngl-dual-001.symbolblockchain.io:3000');
    const repository = repositoryFactory.createTransactionRepository();
    const address = Address.createFromRawAddress('NBHPVUIRDVMANSA2WQHTGAXEK6VJ73LOGTMQHLQ');
    it('Return top level transactions', async () => {
        const data = await repository
            .streamer()
            .search({
                group: TransactionGroup.Confirmed,
                address: address,
            })
            .pipe(toArray())
            .toPromise();
        console.log(data.length); // Returns 41
        console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));
    });
    it('Return top level and embedded transactions', async () => {
        const data = await repository

});

You can try this one: http://explorer.symbolblockchain.io/accounts/NDA5UHKI2TQNN52JTZ2EUKWFPH7UFZPURXGWFRA

Currently, the address filter uses the (http response ignored) meta.addresses data from the transaction collection. It seems as the data stored there is incomplete or not enough for embedded.

https://github.com/symbol/catapult-rest/blob/main/rest/src/db/CatapultDb.js#L324

The "best" way now to get all the transactions is using the signerPublicKey. Unfortunately, I cannot convert the address to a public key so I can OR the conditions together when the address is provided.

shouldn't the query fail in this case?

[fboucquez]

shouldn't the query fail in this case?

Could you clarify?

[gimre-xymcity]

I mean,

• you're requesting by address
• and specifying embedded = true

you can't get those txes, so wouldn't it be natural for query to fail in this case (InvalidArguments)
