Height on-chain is uint64
, (long in java), the consideration is when the height reaches the max int32 we then have the problem. In rest, it is using nodejs's native Long
type, basic arithmetic can be done, but agree that there are limitations for the current rest gateway.
Looks like this issue was worked around by adding fromHeight and toHeight to some calls (i.e. http://localhost:3000/statements/transaction - https://docs.symbolplatform.com/symbol-openapi/v1.0.0/#operation/searchReceipts), but not others (i.e. http://localhost:3000/statements/resolutions/address- https://docs.symbolplatform.com/symbol-openapi/v1.0.0/#operation/searchAddressResolutionStatements).
If this is the chosen solution, perhaps we can extend it to all requests that permit the height parameter?
Height is presently only filterable as a string. The ability to filter height as an integer would be more functional.
Sample use cases:
This would be particularly useful for blockchain monitoring when CLI installation isn't an option or adds unnecessary complexity - i.e. when attempting to integrate with SAAS or cloud based workflow automation platforms (like Microsoft Power Automate).
