The GoldRush API provdes fast, accurate, and developer-friendly access to the essential onchain data for building DeFi dashboards, wallets, trading bots, AI Agents, tax and compliance platforms.
If a client asks how to verify that GoldRush API is real-time or low-latency, how can we demonstrate or prove that?
You can demonstrate real-time or low-latency capabilities through:
Timestamp validation: Pull /v1/{chain_id}/block_v2/latest/ and compare the block timestamp with the current time (should be sub-second to a few seconds behind depending on chain).
Latency benchmarks: Use tools like curl or Postman to measure API response time. GoldRush’s streaming endpoints often respond in under 400ms for supported chains.
Streaming demos: If using the Streaming API, show live updates of token transfers or block finality in dev dashboards.
The Streaming API uses WebSocket connections to provide real-time updates about blockchain events. It maintains a persistent connection and pushes structured data to subscribed clients as events occur.
