I am very new to this.
I am trying to make a simple program for self learning that does this:
- use slotSubscribe to get root slot number,
- use getTransactionCount to get the number of finalized transactions per root slot using minContextSlot param
But
getTransactionCount does not return ascending numbers, but also no. tx that are smaller than the previous one.
- Q. What is it returning when 1)I input minContextSlot 2) Without any param 3) With commitment as finalized?
- Q. What exactly is minContextSlot?
- Q. this API should return the number of transaction till a point in the ledger right? running it consecutively should return bigger and bigger number since the tx are happening ever slot, every epoch?
My algo is that I get tx count till lets say slot10, then till slot11, then slot11-slot10 will give me the number of tx of slot10.
Is this correct? I am sure I am missing something somwhere.Thanks
